Sellsius co-founder joins Trulians
By Glenn Roberts, Jr., Friday, February 1, 2008.Bookmarking Sites
Rudolph D. Bachraty III of Sellsius fame has joined Trulia as "social media guru." Bachraty told Inman News today he is "100 percent" with Trulia and is no longer involved with the Sellsius blog or real estate portal. He also said he will maintain his broker's license but won't actively broker properties. Sellsius co-founder Joseph G. Ferrara said he will continue to crank out posts at the Sellsius blog and maintain the SellsiusRealEstate.com listings portal.
Other big real estate companies, such as Move Inc. and Zillow, have hopped on the blog-wagon, too, snatching up (at least temporarily) big-name bloggers like Dustin Luther and Vanessa Fox (see Inman News).
Bachraty and Ferrara say today's announcement is proof that blogging opens doors.

Rudy is the perfect choice for a position like this. Smart move by Trulia.
Good luck Rudy! I don't blame you. I'd drop everything for that kind of experience!
Wonder who will be next to "add a blogger"?

Thanks again for the interview Glenn!
Opportunities like this don't happen too often. So I am humbled to join such a great team at Trulia. Thanks to Brad and the rest of the Inman team too for allowing me to be a part of the recent Inman Connects in SF and NYC. I had such amazing experiences at both events and highly recommend them to anyone in the real estate space.
Dustin and Joel are two great real estate blogging success stories. They set the bar......high.......
Interesting question Jay.....I think Kevin Boer has some insight on this.......
