Our goal is to make Trulia Voices the largest and most vibrant real estate community where real estate professionals, home buyers, sellers and real estate enthusiasts can connect and exchange advice and opinions.

Trulia Top Ten Fixes!!

Vicky Gkiza answered:
Michael, thank you so much for posting this question

I’d also I’d like to thank everyone for your feedback. Your suggestions are very important to us and we are always taking them in consideration when planning our next product enhancements ( agent2agent was one of the most popular requests, ability to provide more information about you on your profile was another one and you will see much more coming!)

Looking at the comments below, I see many that can add a lot of value on Trulia Voices such as set expiration date to questions, authenticate that someone is indeed real estate professional etc.

It becomes a bit more ‘tricky’ when it comes to certain features and self expressions tools. For example we know that some members love the ‘first answer’ but others not so much; some members prefer all real estate professionals to display their real photo, but others feel that by displaying something else (i.e. their pet) they actually share much more about their personality with other members.

It is a very delicate balance between providing an open platform where you can express yourself and ideas and suggestions can flourish and monitoring/restricting it, so everyone behaves at its best or has enough flexibility to express themselves. Our goal is to find the right balance! We are listening to you very carefully, we are learning every day and we are constantly fine tuning the Trulia Voices experience so we can provide a superb service.

Thanks again all of you for the feedback! Please keep it coming!

Something seem different on Trulia.com?

Vicky Gkiza answered:
Elvis, thank you so much for the feedback! This is an excellent idea. We will definitely look into adding it in the future as we further improve the experience. - Wed Apr 9 2008, 22:12
no worries laura - we really love hearing from our members! keep the ideas, questions, suggestions coming!

It doesn't matter at the moment which location you enter first. You can enter up to twenty locations and they are all equally important.

I think that the reason you don't appear at Pittsboro on Member search, is because there is a delay in updating the database (member search is still a BETA product, meaning that occasionally there might be some issues...). I will look into it tomorrow with the team and come back to you.

thanks for the feedback!

Laura, thank you so much for your feedback. We are very glad you are enjoying the new profile and very happy to see you already updated it!

Currently you can select up to twenty different locations, but you can’t select a primary one. Is this something important to you?

About the Q&A section, you are right - it is pretty lengthy. The thinking behind making your answers as visible as possible on your profile is so you can better demonstrate your valuable contributions to people come across your profile. We will look into solutions on how we can improve it. Stay tuned!

Peggy, we are looking into this and we will soon come back to you

Thanks again for your feedback
