Terry Bradshaw and the Beach Boys, yes, Trulia, no

After they'd booked space as an exhibitor and flew top executives to San Diego for the Prudential Real Estate Sales Convention 2007, the folks at Trulia were told at the last minute they weren't welcome.

Sellsius blog broke the news. When I called Trulia co-founder Sami Inkinen, he was getting on a plane in San Diego. He wasn't in a bad mood, but said it was too invovled to get into.

A few minutes later, Inkinen e-mailed Sellsius with this explanation:

"While we were slated to exhibit, it sounds like there was an internal disconnect with the conference organizers. No hard feelings, though… We’ve benefited from the Starbuck’s wi-fi plus great coffee to compliment the dozens of meetings we’ve had with our Prudential broker partners!"

Trulia director of marketing Heather Mirjahangir Fernandez told Inman News that Prudential brokers were not invovled in the decision to boot the company from the show, but that it was not Trulia's place to say why the incident happened.
