Football season is finally here! To celebrate, I want to have a little contest. In today's video, I kick a football over my house, with the hopes of it landing in the pool. The first person to guess if it landed in the pool or  the closest distance from the pool without going over, will win two pairs of preseason passes to the Chiefs game against the Vikings. It's a Saturday evening game, so it should be great.

Comment here, on Youtube, or shoot us an email with your guess, so you can win tickets to the game! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week!

What does Zillow's Acquisition of Trulia mean for You?

An absolutely massive transaction took place recently in the real estate industry. A $3.5 billion dollar transaction, in fact. No, we aren't bragging about a deal we closed, we are talking about Zillow's acquisition of Trulia. These are 2 of the 3 biggest players in the online home search industry and 98% of buyers look at these sites first before they even contact an agent.

These sites are important, both to the consumer and the agent. We work a lot with Zillow and spend thousands on their site each month to get better online listings and to get our buyers on the site in touch with our sellers. Zillow currently receives over 80 million visitors a month , and with the acquisition of Trulia, that number is only going to increase. 

These sites are great for searching for homes online and we are proud to do business with them, but we do run into problems from time to time. One thing we don't like about Zillow is their zestimate feature. It's not very accurate and can cause a lot of headaches for buyers, sellers, and agents. When it comes to getting an accurate and true value of your home, you need to speak with a real live agent who has boots on the ground in your area. 

If you have any questions , please feel free to give us a call. We are here to help. Have a great rest of the week everyone!
