"Rudy's title of Social Media Guru couldn't be more appropriate. From his Trulia avatar (love it!) to the obvious passion that he puts into his work - he is truly one of a kind. I originally "met" and started talking to Rudy on Twitter... He immediately became a valuable resource for my team (of Real Estate Virtual Assistants) and our clients. I've contacted Rudy several times thru Twitter and email and he always gets back to me promptly with a friendly answer to my question or issue. He always goes above and beyond and most importantly he's FUN to work with! ;)"

He has been so important to our teams success the past couple of years when it comes to online presence and getting our names out to clients. Rudy has a knack for assembling a team that is the BEST. They go above and beyond in getting the job done. You would be serving yourself and your clients well to do business with any team that Rudy has put together.

Whether you have been in the business thirty days or thirty years, you will learn so much by just being around and listening to what Rudy has to say. I am proud to know Rudy and his team.

"“I've known Rudy since 2005 when he established a special niche as an innovative blogger and Web developer. I had the privilege of working with him at Trulia. Rudy is the leading social media guru in the real estate industry. He enjoys the respect of agents in the trenches and industry leaders. He shares his knowledge and savvy generously and he is responsible in large measure for many agents' initial, successful foray into the social space. The real estate social media space would not be the same without Rudy Bachraty.” "

"“Rudy is the real deal. He's smart, funny and he KNOWS ALOT about real estate. I think I learned more about the NYC market from talking to him for 5 minutes than I learned in the past 5 years! And he's definitely on the bleeding edge of social media too. If you are doing anything with real estate in NYC, I'd talk to Rudy BEFORE you do anything else.” September 6, 2008"

"“I have had the opportunity to meet, correspond with and follow Rudy's work and progress through Sellsius, Kiosk Realty and now Trulia. Rudy's ability to create and maintain social networking relationships is extraordinary. His vision on the use of technology with regards to real estate is broad and his experience laser-like in his focus on how real estate professionals can employ the technology. As the SocNet face of Trulia, Rudy represents them well and does a great job of getting the word out on new Trulia features. Feature promotion is second nature to Rudy. I have no reservations recommending Rudy for any social networking, real estate technology or real estate needs you may have!” September 5, 2008"
