Spencer – Great to finally meet you, too, although I was a bit intimidated meeting the “CNBC Face of Zillow.” I also appreciate the lunch I got out of the deal w/ props to Jeffrey Douglass for introducing all of us to one of the best burgers in San Diego. My invitation to Drew applies to you, as well. Take care.

Kris & Steve,
It was great hanging out with you at NAR. Thanks for being such good San Diego hosts. It reminded me why San Diego is such an awesome place to live.

Nice to meet you too – I’ll be sure to hang out with the cool Berg (and bring my hiking boots) next time in lovely San Diego!

Drew – Thanks for pitching in while I was selflishly at the Chargers game. It was great to finally meet you. Next time you’re in town I will lead the tour and take you to the “cool” places Kris refuses to go to. Be sure to bring your hiking boots.

Glad you were able to get out and see the sites, San Diego is such a beautiful place. I can’t imagine that much sunshine year round!

All I saw for the six days I was at NAR was the route from my hotel to the convention hall. And really I didn’t even see that because I usually was staring at my blackberry while [trying] to walk.

You two really are two of the greats in RE.net world.

To 2 of the coolest people in the re.net space – loved seeing this piece. And Drew, try not to cry too much about your rain – it’s a gift – really. And Kris, as your devoted third reader, we have to connect…soon.

Hey broke again-
Zillow’s core focus is building the best consumer focused real estate site on the web. One key difference is Zillow is a database of all homes, not just those currently on the market. An MLS is a database of current listings whose core audience is real estate agents. Zillow does not (nor plan to) compete with local MLS’.

Hey Drew, good to hear from you. I always wondered who the other two readers were — nice to find out about half of them. And you work at a place that has had such an impact on the public’s perception of real estate. That’s cool. Maybe at some point you can describe the process zillow uses to assess prices in a relatively rapidly changing real estate environment. What impact do REOs and short sales have on zillow’s estimated price? Does shadow inventory figure in?

The guest post is a good idea too. Maybe if all the readers pitch in and write a guest post each day, one after the other, Kris can take a vacation from the blog. Not sure how far you can go to and get back from in three days though. Maybe Jacumba?

Awesome, Drew! My blog hasn’t seen that many links in one post since, well, forever. Thanks again for suffering through a day with me touring San Diego in the Bug-mobile.
