SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 6, 2008 – Trulia (www.trulia.com), the best place to start a real estate search, has entered into a new partnership with the Northern Ohio Regional Multiple Listing Service that will provide exposure of NORMLS members’ listings to the five million monthly unique users of Trulia.com. In addition to marketing member listings, NORMLS has joined the Trulia Partner Program, which provides additional revenue while enabling their members to more effectively market themselves with Trulia Pro. NORMLS listings are expected to be included in Trulia search results at the end of November.
“After learning about the quality of Trulia’s consumer traffic and their measures to ensure data accuracy, marketing our members’ listings on Trulia.com became an easy decision,” said Carl DeMusz, President and CEO of NORMLS. “We strive to provide our members with the best and most effective marketing opportunities, and Trulia helps us deliver just that.”
In an effort to make listing syndication to Trulia by other MLSs as simple and seamless as possible, Trulia is deepening their relationship with Threewide, the nation’s premier network for listing asset management. Trulia and Threewide will soon be embarking on a new marketing initiative to enable Threewide’s current clients to benefit from Trulia’s reach and quality traffic.
“Trulia has delivered an incredible number of potential homebuyers to our broker/agent customers because they are consistently among the top consumer traffic generators in the ListHub network,” said Mark Wise, COO and Co-Founder of Threewide. “As a result of this traffic, we are also seeing more and more MLSs sending all of their listings to Trulia helping their broker/agent customers sell their listings in today’s market. We are very excited to see all of our customers realizing the importance of working with Trulia within the ListHub Network”
According to Sami Inkinen, COO of Trulia, “We’re thrilled to be deepening our industry relationships, both with respected MLSs like NORMLS and service providers like Threewide. Trulia seeks to provide home buyers and sellers with the best real estate search experience while providing real estate professionals with effective online marketing. Adding more than 55,000 NORMLS listings to Trulia search results and deepening our relationship with Threewide helps us accomplish both.”
