Google Real Estate – Hot Topic at Property Portal Watch Workshop
July 13, 2009 by Simon Baker
The recent launch of Google Real Estate in Australia, the US and New Zealand has led to hot discussion amongst commentators, property portals and the industry. Questions are being raised on what the real impact will be for property portals around the world. As it looks like Google Real Estate will soon launch in UK and Germany, the discussion will just get hotter.
The question on whether Google is a threat or perhaps an opportunity to leverage will be a hot topic of discussion at the Property Portal Workshop on August 4, in San Francisco
It is a rare opportunity to be able to discuss this and other vital issues facing property portals with more than 50 portal operators from all over the world already registered – don’t miss out on being part of it!
A quote from one attendee at the NYC workshop
The workshop was very important, giving me the opportunity to meet with other world portal owners. .. there was a good open forum to discuss and opionionate things openly. I think all portal owners took things away with them which can only be healthy for the real estate industry. Trevor Mealham INEA (The Independent Network of Estate Agents), UK

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you surf
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the Android.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come programmers and analysts
Who prophesize with your mouse
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t email too soon
For the web portals still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come open source, web 2.0 apps
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For the portal that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your vista
And rattle your Mozilla
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come fathers and mothers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your java and your html
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new Apple i phone Apps
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’

Thirty years or so in the past, the listing services were reserved to Realtors, and so if you wanted access to MLS, you had to hire a Realtor. These days, due to restraint of trade suits, that’s not the case. Not only are those days gone, they’re not…
