A bit of a grab bag in this post, as a swirl of events over the past couple weeks have gotten me thinking about the standard approach to a real estate website.

It’s a trifecta: Top 3 online real estate sites are all-in on the tablet
Realtor.com released its iPad app today. We’ve had our hands on it for a little while now and it’s a solid first release.

Friday Flash: A home is not an egg roll, iPad goodness and the cost of paranoia
It was a quiet week. Or maybe I just had my head down. In any case, I do know there are some big deals about to break, so we have that to look forward to! … I have thought for a long-time (a “long time” being, these days, something like six months) that group buying, [...]

The one where I finally find what I’ve been looking for in real estate search
I’m not usually one to click on ads. But this one was a little different. It caught my eye as I was flicking through the New York Times iPad app a few weeks ago.
iPad 2 and the business of real estate
iPad 2 was unveiled today. It will ship in a couple of weeks.

Apple’s iPad means big changes ahead for real estate
I’ve had a week to mull over the announcement of the iPad and I’ve come to this conclusion. The iPad is 26 years coming. Those who blast the iPad as just a large iPhone, I think are missing the point. Fraser Speirs puts it best – they’re most likely in “Future Shock“. Let’s take a [...]
