Zillow & Appraisals - Novelty or Professional Valuation?

[Joshua Dorkin]

Hey everyone. I wanted to bring up a recent news story to see what your thoughts are. I reported on our blog yesterday a story, Zillow Banned in Arizona by Regulators. Is the Novelty Wearing Off? where the mega corporation Zillow has been issues a cease & desist order by regulators to stop operating in Arizona.

I see why the order was issued, based on the feedback I get from people who use the site. What I'm interested in is your feedback on the situation. It seems that there is a perception from its users that it is offering property appraisals.

[size=18]Do you think Zillow is doing enough to stop the perception that they are offering appraisals?[/size]

Discuss the blog post, Zillow, the case, etc.
