We call them Untrulia not Trulia

Have you ever been searching for homes and stumbled upon Trulia or Zillow? The answer for about 90% of you is probably yes. 

Why is that? They are just so easy to find or it was the first thing that popped up in my search or app. It scares real estate professionals that buyers and sellers seem to be more interested in speed than accuracy now days.  We see them lose money on transactions and over pay for homes just because they used websites like Trulia.

Keep in mind that the most accurate way to search for homes or get sold data is with your local MLS or in Indianapolis the BLC. They accumulate the data straight from the agents that work every day out of that active and sold database.  The agents have regulations placed on the data input to make sure it is accurate and consistent from property to property.
 
It is ultimately the most accurate database, where as the Trulias and Zillows of the world pull the information from government entities and some unregulated entities. We all know how accurate those can be right:)

I urge my clients to use the tools that the BLC/MLS or I provide to ensure you get accurate data. A home is the biggest investment in most peoples lives and you as the customer deserve better information. #Untrulia
