In this episode, Dave discusses:

• The four big real estate apps rated by aesthetic, reliability, search parameters, evaluation tools, and accuracy of information. 
• Benefits and drawbacks of each of the different real estate apps. 
• Comparing Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, and Realtor.com.
• The evolution of the smaller brokerage apps. 

Key Takeaways:

• If you schedule a tour through a real estate app, it will most likely be with an agent paying to be a featured agent rather than the listing agent. 
• Zillow is the most visited site of the real estate sites. Make note: they are a marketing company, NOT a real estate brokerage. 
• Because Redfin is a brokerage, the information draws from the MLS and can often be more accurate than Zillow and Trulia, but realtor.com tends to have the most accurate information. 
• Trulia is part of the Zillow family (it was purchased back in 2015). 

"Do not put your blind trust into an app. You want to ask those around you who they trust, and talk to them about who they would recommend you work with if you're thinking of either buying or selling." —  Dave Nimick
