Why would anyone want to read what the founder of Zillow, an ADVERTISING company, has to say about real estate?

Do you not have access to hundreds or REAL ESTATE experts who make their contribution to socieity by educating and guiding countless citizens and professionals into great real estate decisions without reliance on deception and theft of IP?

Would you not be better served in exploring the investor side of real estate or the non-real estate side of marketing or any venue offering advanced technologies in personal communications or even game play theory?

I agree in part to Annette's comment saying why would I care what an advertising company has to say, but I am not the one who will believe it.  My potential clients will be and I need to know what they know so I can offer a professional opinion.

I'll read it if someone gives it to me, but I have a rule of not paying a cent to Zillow.

What are they? And why are they important?

I have not.

No.

I have not

Such an usual question. Is there any value in reading them?

I was curious to see answers.

As far as we are concerned Zillow has broken every rule in real estate and has zip for credibility.....

NO!   I don't don't do anything with 3rd party sites with the exception of AR, which I hope one day will revert back to a better ownership.

They featured some bits of it on our local news but the answers in the book did not apply to our area where traditions were different, 

I think we can learn from every real estate group, even the ones we don't like/agree with. 

I have not heard of it. Maybe I should check it out.

Not yet... I haven't seen too much out there that tells me something I haven't already figured out about the "new rules" just based on being on the front lines day in and day out.

If I stumble upon a free copy I'll read it, but like Patricia Kennedy they won't get a dime from me.  I think it's good to know what's being sold to the consumer's we'll be working with, whether it's good info or not.

No! I haven't even heard of it.  I will check it out, thanks!

Bill Lucas I thought I'd get some idea from the answers - however, like me, others are in the same boat - don't know much about it or not interested. However, it may be interesting. A company that changes the online profile of Real Estate.

I haven't heard of this. Is it a book? Have you read it, and if so...what is your opinion?

Bill,

No, please write a review of it, we would be interested in hearing your viewpoint. A

Haven't heard of this.  Is it a book?

Never heard of it ....let me know if you like it .

Is it good info for agents or the consumer?

I'm reading Zillow talk, is that the same thing?  It's good, it reinforces what we already know as realtors but it'll be educational for buyers and sellers.
