Things have changed. If you haven’t done it recently, it’s time to check out your Trulia Profile to start taking advantage of some of the new, easy features that help you attract clients:


1. Contact information is front and center

We’re all taught to read left-to-right, top-to-bottom. That’s why we’ve moved your contact information and photo to the top left of your profile with more emphasis on your contact information, service areas, and firm and license info.

Update these sections now because they’ll be the first thing consumers see when they’re checking you out online.

2. It’s easier to show and update your experience

On most social networking and online marketing sites, experience can mean anything. We’ve taken our research on what buyers really want to know and built a more visible experience section to help buyers vet an agent in the time it takes to scan a single page.

For Agents, we’ve also made it easy to updating and promoting your experience easy by taking the typing out of building your profile. You can show potential clients your specialties and expertise with just a few clicks.

3. Recommendations are a bigger deal

Your recommendations are getting more attention on the new profiles with

  • Recommended agent indicator
  • Recommendations counter with photos
  • New “Recommend Me” button above the fold to make it easier for your clients to recommend you.

Check out your profile now to see your current recommendations. If your profile  could use some help, don’t forget you can cut and paste your paste recommendations from Facebook, your e-mail, or other sites on the web to your Trulia Profile.

 4. Live links connect you with clients on the Web

Clients that land on your profile page are trying to find out as much information on you as possible. Now you can make  sure you put your best foot forward with live links to your profiles on the top social media sites.

Verifying and customizing links is a great way to generate extra followers on Twitter or fans of your Facebook business page.

5. “Homes I’ve Toured” shows your market knowledge

Last, but definitely not least, your property check-ins are now featured with photos and links in the “New Homes I’ve Toured” section.

Here consumers can not only view your check-ins, but now they can “ask you a question” about any of the properties you’ve seen with just one click.

Online profiles matter. Next to referrals, Internet websites were the number one tool for finding a real estate agent according to recent findings from NAR.

Take control of what potential clients see about you and convince them you’re the best agent to help with their next real estate deal. Update your profile today.
