I took out a wall separating the kitchen from the living space to open up the floor plan and put a concrete counter on some new custom cabinets.

Find one that does not have a high-priced long-term monthly contract, flexible pricing, and excellent customer service.

It's frustrating to tag all those people and not have it work :( (and I'm a paying customer now!

But open to whatever format/content/etc you're picturing it taking..2 ideas on the forefront of my mind:- Organizing a volunteer network of people in the real estate industry and explore what we can accomplish- Creating a more customized rental comp service @Adam Hofmann , @Kyle Zaylor , hope to see you there also!

In fact, in my upcoming book here on BP I have a whole chapter dedicated to that... so keep an eye out :) 

I simply don't get that, at all.Yes, Zillow is a publicly traded company, and yes, we need to please shareholders (and customers too).

While it may seem counterintuitive to advertise the open house to homeowners who already live in the area, there are two reasons why I do this: Local residents could have family or friends who are looking for a home, and they can help me spread the word.People will see how dedicated I am to selling homes in the neighborhood and be more inclined to work with me if and when they move.

My worst case scenario is that I dedicate an entire weekend to ripping out tile.

I was impressed with the reports I got (credit, criminal background, rental history, etc.)Their customer service is on the ball.

I posted a thread a LONG time ago about specific custom spec homes I was building in SO.
