zillow.com Gives Free Advice
December 17, 2008 by Emma Sorensen
US based property valuation site and portal zillow.com has added a new user-based advice feature to its website.
Zillow Advice combines the old Home Q&A and discussion forums into one Advice section where users can ask questions which are answered by other users in the zillow.com online community.
The new feature was revealed by David Gibbons, zillow.com’s director of community relations, in a blog post. It is designed to give users access to the 1.2 million agents, lenders and other professionals who use Zillow each month. Gibbons wrote:
“Zillow visitors post 40,000 contributions to the site each day. Many of those are Home Q&A, Real Estate Guides and Discussions. These features now live under a new Advice tab and we are adding local Questions to the list of ways in which Zillow users can help each other.”
It brings zillow.com in line with rival trulia.com, who offer a similar Q+A forum through Trulia Voices Real Estate Community.
Zillow.com came out number three in the Hitwise November 2008 top 10 US real estate websites. trulia.com has been rising rapidly, and came in at number 11.
In a blog by John Cook on Techflash, he quotes interesting compete.com data that shows a dip in traffic for both zillow.com and trulia.com in recent months.

I really do not have a comment. But I do have a question. I am in the process of
having a storage shed built for me, actually, it is almost complete.
I still have to get the okay from the Dept. of Zoning and planning, before i can apply for the buildibg permit I must submit a site plan of what I am doing because they need to know where my property line starts and ends.
Where can I go to get the information I need about the lot size and its measurementsand so forth.
Thank You
