She didn't necessarily have any more information than anyone else, but she sent it out there first and established herself as an expert in her field. She discussed this and other strategies in her book "USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT, AND OTHER BUSINESS LESSONS I LEARNED FROM MY MOM". Silly title, great book and good lessons for any business.<br /> </p> Barbara Corcoran, over 30 years ago, started sending the newspapers The Corcoran Report and became an expert in NY co-op apartment sales.

You are right about the "feet on the street" perspective. I am not sticking it to Zillow. In fact, I admire the facility with which they have become a market authority. My point is that brokers and MLS organizations a.) Have created the vacuum into which Zillow has walked, b.) Have the knowledge and tools to change that — provided they act.

Thanks for the refreshing attitude that challenges us to challenge the news we're hearing. Nothing can replace the human side of knowing a market. </p> Way to stick it to the machine.
