Gabe Sanders going forward it appears That the parent company of Realtor.com-- is going to fight to the death -- very interesting time

Ron Marshall   Injuction is only a temporary stay until the suits get in there and start  billing hours.

BIRDHOUSES ? really me too I make them from pallette wood as presents - going to look :)

John Pusa  since is smells like Monopoly I think it is going to be a long battle. Meanwhile make sure you have your other efforts that you own and control

HAPPY SELLING AND CLOSING AND GETTING EVERYONE INTO A BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME

Debbie Reynolds  I agree. I get more hits from my silly Pinterest page than many other efforts, go figure

Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR  Then you will be immune to any lawsuit/ injuction/ slow down. I tried the paid ads - for lenders it is burning money on a bond fire

Rudy Sedano  That's a big portion of your business. Zillow has an office within walking distance of mine and they must grow to survive. They took the position of many Corporations to grow by aquisition. There are many new smaller contenders using the MLS  - I myself use Home Scouting direct on MLS very effectively with buyers, shoppers, and even people who just like to snoop about the current value of their home.  What other online rescources could be used to shore up or back up or be already up and running if somehow Zillow loses?

Evelyn Johnston I'm always planning and thinking ahead. I believe this is a long term war. I'm surprised no Realtors see what many agents I know (whispered but not typed on Active Rain also owned by Zillow) that Zillow's rise to dominance is a major change for how real estate is sold. 

Anyone using drones for photos and video 360 degrees as used in luc=xury hotels in Europe? As more costly images and listing preparations are completed upfront will everyone still want to give it for free?

Debbie Laity some local Boards and state ones are balking about sending them. Of course each Realtor could upload to all the sites themselves  this infographic reminds me of the Doctor Suess Book : All the Places You Will Go 

Inna Ivchenko it will change our marketing - the value of your own website, blogging, writing, and sharing becomes fresh news and Realtor.com may rank up higher than Zillow eventually when a consumer google searches. The value of keeping information on you own personally owned website (in case you leave) and own controlled blog about local information will end up being seen more frequently. 

Kathleen Luiten  I think in Hawaii locals still want face to face contact but someone shopping online from snowy Massachusetts might use them and not call one of the 3 agents on the right who pay for the ads

Sham Reddy for years Zillow has gained influence (and stock ticker price) by making consumers feel they are the go to source for listings and property valuations when infact they don't provide those services well. Listings can be a year old but the business model is to get advertising revenue. I suspect Zillow was ready to roll out its pilot of actually selling real estate direct in certain markets... ohhh thats a hot topic

Nina Hollander   Remax will continue to provide information - but does the listing agent get any calls from these sites?  I suggested a year back that all listing agents should embed a clickable link to their own site in each image and put in contrasting color their phone contact 

• Teresa K. Nelson I would cancel the "paid" ad too - Trulia took down the ability to blog or do anything exciting and interactive  - keep your unpaid information fresh!  thanks
