One of the most precious commodities in the world is real estate. Everyone is looking for their own little piece of the world to settle and call their own. Home ownership is a goal shared by so many that it seems appropriate that companies like Google and Yahoo would go to such lengths to cater to real estate searchers.
Yahoo Finance and Official Google Blog, Ethan Russel talks about the company’s latest real estate offering:
If you're a real estate professional, making your listings searchable on Google is simple and completely free. We don't charge for photos or offer "featured listings." We believe that buyers just want to see the home that fits them best and that providers shouldn't have to pay to show it to them.
We don't sell houses, deal with agents' compensation, or charge for leads. Our business is helping people find the information they're looking for—when you have it, we send them directly to you.
Foreclosure Center, a feature that lets users search for properties that have recently undergone foreclosure – potentially saving them upwards of 30% in the process.
How long will it be before partnerships between the major search engines and real estate professionals not only become necessary, but commonplace?
