CAMPBELL, Calif. and
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc. (NASDAQ:
MOVE) and Trulia today announced a new agreement to syndicate real
estate listings to Trulia, Inc. through the ListHub Syndication
Network. Acquired by Move, Inc. in 2010, ListHub is the nation's
largest online syndicator of real estate listings and provider of
performance reports for brokers, franchises, and Multiple Listing
Services (MLSs). ListHub is one of Trulia's preferred listings
syndication partners.
As the largest provider of real estate listings to Trulia,
ListHub will continue to syndicate millions of property listings on
behalf of more than 47,000 brokers directly to Trulia.com.
ListHub aggregates accurate listing data from 400 participating
Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and some of the largest franchises
throughout the United States.
"Trulia is committed to ensuring the highest standards of data
quality and integrity for the real estate industry," said
Matt Dollinger, Head of Industry
Relations at Trulia. "We look forward to working with Listhub
as a trusted partner for syndication and communicating Trulia's
metrics through their reporting products."
As part of the new agreement, Trulia will provide listing
performance metrics and data to ListHub that will be included in
the ListHub Channel Scorecard, a complete online marketing report
that compares the attributes of 126 real estate web sites. Real
estate professionals use the ListHub Channel Scorecard to evaluate
the effectiveness of their internet marketing strategies when
working with sellers. Trulia will also be included in the ListHub
syndication dashboard that features recently enhanced filters and a
five-star rating system. The ListHub syndication dashboard
empowers MLSs and brokers to quickly evaluate and select publishers
that fit their needs such as "no re-syndication," "timely removal
of inactive listings," or "shows broker contact information."
Trulia meets all seven selection criteria outlined in the ListHub
Preferred Publisher Program, an important evaluation tool for
brokers with specific syndication needs.
"ListHub is focused on helping brokers reach large audiences of
buyers through an easy to use managed syndication platform that
respects their rights as owners of the content," said Luke Glass, general manager and vice president,
ListHub. "By adding performance metrics from Trulia, brokers have
even greater insights into the effectiveness of their online
advertising, while clearly understanding how their content will be
used on publishing sites. We're very pleased to offer the
convenience brokers and MLSs want when syndicating within a
controlled and transparent platform."
Since the September 2010
acquisition of ListHub by Move, Inc., the ListHub publishing
network has increased by 117 real estate franchises and MLSs to now
represent 421 content sources. ListHub Publishers have also
increased from 79 to 126 public-facing real estate web sites and
marketing outlets since September 2010. All listing
information provided through the ListHub platform is authoritative
as it is sourced from accurate data provided by brokers, franchises
and MLSs, and is authorized for syndication and display by content
owners.
