We’re not the only ones thinking about search…

Since we announced our new product, Lifestyle Listings Engine, a few weeks ago at Inman Connect, I’ve noticed a ton of conversations and debate over Search…where it is and where it’s going.

The general consensus seems to be that there’s going to be a lot of change in the way people search for a home or at least there needs to be. What’s interesting is that everyone seems to agree that search needs to shift from being all about the listing to a blend of listing and lifestyle information, yet there still isn’t anyone that’s successfully accomplished this.

Real Estate Debate – Pros & Cons of Lifestyle Search

Today Notorious R.O.B. (Rob Hahn of Onboard Informatics) and Joseph Ferrara of Sellsius Real Estate Blog conducted a debate yesterday regarding the pros and cons of the latest buzz in real estate, ”Lifestyle Search”.  They discussed questions such as  do consumers want or need a new way to search for homes based on lifestyle choices?  Is search broken or is it fine the way it is?

I’ve heard both Rob and Joe talk about doing something like this for some time so I was excited when they finally decided to give it a go.  Overall I thought the discussion went great and am looking forward to future discussions.

So in case  you missed it…
