Mr. Mo Cupcake

If you’ve been keeping up with the happenings here at Trulia, you probably know that we are participating in Movember, the fundraising event that asks men to grow a moustache during the month of November to help raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research, education and prevention.

To show our support for our men in moustache uniform, many of us ladies who are participating sans a ‘stache, recently put our baking skills to work and created an array of moustache treats to sell to our San Francisco employees to help generate cash for the cause. And our appeal to everyone’s sweet tooth and benevolent nature was a huge success. … continue reading

This week we’re featuring our favorite tales you told us about a few four-legged “friends” that prove the postman has nothing on real estate agents. Vote for your favorite story and share your own “glamorous” real estate tale in a comment below. … continue reading
