However, I doubt they will be ever able to give expert knowledge on individual markets the way that local Realtors can. I believe that is ultimately what the majority of online home buyers are looking for. Sites like Trulia may continue to gain traction in the SERPs.

Find a successful agent and get their advice. Most agents only sell 5 homes per year - I think the average is under $40k. But successful agents make a six figure income.

Look at Trulia. They hired some savvy seo guys and made a sweetheart deal with number1expert to grab links. They are popping up all over the US in top real estate markets.

That's good. But what they haven't figured out is how to qualify and filter prospects. They assume every lead has the same importance. They're not the same. Some are more valuable than others. How do you do that? That's the question. So for the time being, they'll have more leads. But they'll also be doing more work trying to figure out which are ready, willing and able.

They're not as technical as they need to be, and they're often misguided through misinformation because of this. If this makes more brokers and agents aware of the importance of things like SEO, that could be a win for everyone.
