Zillow has the user base. Thats why they are so valuable. As soon as they link a social networking group to their site. The value will go up even more. Kudos to zillow for what they do. Is an IPO planned? :) steveloper.com
For all services other than title insurance this will work. If you say "Title Insurance" to an end consumer, you will get a quizzical "What the heck that?" Or try to explain what "re-issue credit" is. Title insurance is more of a b2b enterprise. There is a niche market for this, but it wouldn't be huge. For the other industries, this can spawn a whole new marketing area. Appraisers, and home inspectors can begin to market directly to the end consumer. Here is the idea that some smart company like zillow should implement: Marketed to the end consumer "Close your own home" web site. Where the end consumer can manage the process. With document management, communication tracking ... Wait, hold on a second, let me get to building my own site that does this. :) steveloper.com
I really want this business model to work. Anything where a consumer can go directly to the producer is good for the consumer. The only issue is: Most consumers have no clue what title insurance is or what it does for them. I wonder how this will work in states where title insurance is promulgated? Way to be on the cutting edge! Go to the consumer. http://steveloper.com --
