"Seattle has become a hotbed for online real estate startups," said John Cook, business reporter for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and author of John Cook's Venture Blog.
Transformation is afoot. Remember how Expedia revolutionized the travel industry? Now companies in our own backyard, including Redfin, HouseValues and Zillow, are offering online technologies that are transforming the real estate industry. From online valuations and lead generation to completing the legal transaction, these companies aim to exploit opportunities in the business of residential real estate. Home buyers, sellers and real estate agents are changing the way that they do business.
