It seems like you're implying that the number of real estate pros is less than 13%. I think Trulia would be very happy with that because the brokers want to be where the buyers and sellers are right? A broker heavy community might be fun for you guys but it won't make you as much money.

That might be true but Trulia claims that only 13% of their users are brokers and agents.

Yes, but how many people who register as "real estate pros" actually are?

Well I think there are only about 1mm or so real estate agents and comscore pegs Trulia at 1.6MM uniques which is probably off by a factor of 2 because comscore usually under reports. It sounds like they're reporting legitimate numbers to me. I don't know anyone at the company but I'm going to believe the Trulia mgmt team here.

Hi Jackson,

Would you expect them to say anything else.

That might be true but Trulia claims that only 13% of their users are brokers and agents. That said, I'm sure the agents account for a disproportionate amount of page views. Here's the blog post.

Makes sense since there are way more women in real estate careers

I don't know the number of registered users but they're ranked 7k on Alexa. Compete.com says they only have 1.6MM monthly uniques. Comscore also puts them at around 1.6MM uniques a month. Both feel a bit low to me.

Interesting that comscore has them skewing female with 55% of their traffic female and 45% male.
