Questions • Listing Advertising Venues (Trulia/Zillow) friend, foe or someone to keep well within your sights? • Speaking of these venues, do you go for the up-sell (enhanced listings, etc)? • If everyone enhances their listings, doesn't that just bring everyone back to ground zero, except the venues cashing in? • Is there such a thing as advertising (syndicating) your listings in too many places? • With all these sites, is it too hard/time consuming to syndicate listings? • Is there a limit on over-bidding your competition for keyword advertising (such a Google ads) • Who owns the listing vs who owns the listing data? • Is google/trulia/zillow putting advertising placed around the listing "making money off the hard work" of the brokers? • Is someone reposting a listing that isn't theirs "stealing?“. Its still your listing and your sale. • Has/Should the role of the MLS expanded to include a marketing component? IE Houston Assoc. of REALTORS (50%+ of listing search). • Where do we think the consumers are going to get listing information? • How are you tracking where consumers are coming from? • What are your methods for analyzing ROI • How do you convey to your clients (Sellers) that being listed everywhere may not mean better marketing?
