Those are some huge partnerships. I think it’s amazing and impressive that they have over 300 partnerships driving traffic including Yahoo and USA Today. Those are some huge partnerships.

I really like the list that they've generated recently which talks about the top ten do it yourself projects that people are trying most to learn about. Their list is really similar to mine.

HomeGain revenues in 2008 are expected to be $24 million or less, a huge drop from 2 years ago when we had revenues of $39 million. Challenges in the economy are taking their toll on our business model. Help! HomeGain was purchased in 2005 by Classified Ventures for $100 million dollars.

The regional website www.maprealty.com uses parcel level mapping which shows the exact location of the property so anyone can see if it is ocean front. The purpose of the site is to work with realtors as it creates leads similar to Zillow, Trulia, etc but it is also to provide the best and most accurate information available to the consumer. The site has all registry of deeds sales and assessing records and allows the user to easily compare similar properties. The parcel geography, assessing, and previously sold homes data is currently limited to Boston but expansion is in the works. Why shouldn't the consumer have access to what other properties sold for per square foot and what the ratio of assessed value to sale price was? This helps the buyer/seller and honest realtors. I'm sure many realtors have been frustrated at losing a potential client because a competitor inflated the supposed value of a seller's home. MapRealty rewards the honest realtor by showing the consumer that the inflated value is likely fictional. Obviously features within individual homes make one more valuable then the other but a good realtor can demonstrate this to a well informed consumer.

The say they send the leads out on average to 7 other agents. This is misleading because that is the average across the entire network. Any agent purchasing leads in anywhere near a metroplitan area is going to get sold leads that are going to hundreds of other agents. This is something homegain does not want you to know. They also do not qualify the leads in any way. Any bogus information that is filled out on the site from the "home evaluation tool" is then sold to agents for cold hard cash! Dont you love it when you get leads from "Screw off in Austin" and "yeah right in Dallas". Such a scam. Buying leads from homegain is a total waste of money.

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 05:42:32 +0000 http://www.futureofrealestatemarketing.com/why-homegain-beats-zillow#comment-2900 According to published reports, HomeGain's revenues are between $30 to $40 million dollars per year (never above $42 million). This explains why they feel so threatened by the attention Zillow is achieving with their revolutionary service--Just look at the countless negative comments Louis Cammarosano, HomeGain's General Manager has posted all over the internet against Zillow . I am betting Zillow will revolutionize on-line real estate and in the process demolish Mickey Mouse operations like HomeGain, HouseValues, Reply! and others. If operations like HomeGain were not afraid of Zillow they would not spend any time attempting to trash their service. Zillow has the managerial acumen to be the best. Go Get Them Rich Barton!
