Trulia Voices
June 11th, 2008 categories: Real Estate News
I think that this is a great arena for home sellers and home buyers to get answers. It is a place where you can get answers in an anonymous way, without the pressures of someone calling you- the way I tend to search the Internet for answers myself.
However I see a disturbing trend, it is becoming a place for real estate agents to spar their opinions and try to discredit the other agent that just posted a response.
GROW UP- if you have an issue with an answer posted- Google the agent and send them an email- “spar or fight” out of the public eye. The consumers that are asking questions, they just want their question answered- they do not want to read your rant on another agents answer. Here is a perfect example of what I am referring to: New Answer
Hi Jamie!
Trulia Voices is a great place for consumers and agents to connect without any so called pressure. In addition to learning, it’s a community where you can share your knowledge, information and opinion about real estate related issue and topics.
However, as you mention, once in a while some people’s comments get heated and they start to vent in the community. Although we’re all for transparency, if you have an issue with something someone has said, just click on their profile image which will take you to their profile and click on the contact me button. This will send an email directly to that agent. This can give a an opportunity to have a direct conversation with that person either via email or phone. I have found this to be a good solution.
Thanks for participating on Voices.

Hi Rudy,
I did not have any issues, and if I did, I would take it off-line. I think Trulia Voices is a great tool for agents and consumers- I learn a lot from the questions and answers and like reading others opinions and answers. I just do not like seeing egos square off, in front of the consumers, I think it is a bit unprofessional.
