Joseph Ferrara, Esq. answered:
This is why consumers visit many real estate websites and still don't find everything available. The answer lies in a metasearch engine that searches all the real estate sites, including the FSBO sites. A site doing this is retrove.com. I have inside information that they are releasing some cool features soon that will bring more attention to the site.
While broker sites are accused of being protective of their listings, my guess is the TruZillas of the web will be the same way when metasearch engines become more popular and want to crawl their sites to aggregate and organize the RE data -- IMO TZ will build the same fences around their content, which, BTW, they do not own in the first place, to prevent consumers ( & owners and listing agents) from being truly served by technology. The saying "information wants be free" will be rewritten to add "except our information."
Just one bloke's opinion.
