Shows school rating and crime percentage of the area which is almost accurate. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Sometimes it is not updated.

But it will still show as available. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Give this app a try to find best location for your new home. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have used it for renting and planing to buy house. It has mortgage calculater too. ### 4. Accurate Area Listings **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kate F. | Leasing and Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Trulia?** What I like best about trulia is that you can search all homes for sale OR for rent to cater to any of your short term or long term needs. You can also search outside of your current area. The "save home" option is very useful so you can compile a list of listings for an easier decision making experience. The website is fast, visually appealing, and easy to navigate. When searching for a specific area, I like that it also shows a map of listings for the homes in and slightly outside of the desired area. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I would like for trulia to have a more in-depth photo requirement for listings that included interior, appliances, and the neighborhoods. Some listings can be a bit misleading. I also would love the option to view 'private listings' versus 'business listings'. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Trulia has become a household name among search engines for rental properties and homes for sale. It is a beneficial site to get your listing in front of a variety of audiences. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is very beneficial to see what homes, and apartment complexes are using the site and their availability to analyze any shadow markets that could compete with the property I work for. ### 5.

If I search for townhome, I still see many apartments come up, etc. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Knowing what is available around the area I need is the first step in finding a new home. ### 9. BAD for realtors **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Trulia?** My buyers like the user friendly experience. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I do not like how it's connected to Zillow and I can no longer access Trulia reports. You cant do anything without paying for it now. Trulia and Zillow do not syndicate listings properly from the MLS either. It shows homes in "pre foreclosure" which is honestly the biggest scam I've ever seen. I can not stand Trulia and Zillow. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Beware of clicking on anything on website. nothing is free. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** None. Its made my life so much more difficult. ### 10. Top exposure for rental properties **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I get amazing leads from this website and a full apartment builing is short time of exposure **What do you dislike about Trulia?** they are perfect just the way they operate .No complaints .They are amazing at thier concept of advertising **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Trulia is the place to go to lease or rent **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** renting out apartments ### 11. Unreliable in the best way. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew B. | Property Manager, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Trulia is a really good service for scouting what is available in the area of interest. I have used it as a customer exclusively. My wife and I used Trulia to find housing options and markets of interest when we moved to a new town. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Sometimes a created listing can be hi-jacked for phishing scams. What we ran into specifically were duplicate listings for the same property, with misleading pricing. During the process of contacting the owner of the listing, we would often find that the listing would be a scam (someone asking for a check, or some other form of money) from out of town. A google search of the phone number on the listing would quickly identify it as fraud. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** If you are trying to cast a "wide net" in a new area, or if you are looking to find the most options fast - Trulia works the best. The app is easy to use, and contacting agents with legitimate listings is easy to do. If nothing else - it gives you a great place to start. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trulia gets listings and availability out. It is often simply a wide net to cast. It is most helpful in finding an area with the most options. If you're looking for property, Trulia (even with the phishing scams) is a great tool to identify which areas have legitimate listings. Even when weeding through the scams - you are able to find good listings. ### 12. Trulia Real Estate Listings **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Delbert A. | Owner, Adair Springs Cabin, Primary/Secondary Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Trulia is free to advertise your home to rent or sell. It is the similar to zillow, very well know and used. I use Trulia to promote my vacation rental. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I don't have any dislikes but I would say it is not as popular as zillow.com. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Before you sign up with Trulia and use it to list your home have all information and pictures readily available to upload. If you are looking for a home have your requirements or desires as you can fine tune your search. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trulia is an excellent way to literally get my face and cabin name out there for people to see and consider for their vacation in Pinetop, Arizona. I have received inquiries because of Trulia. ### 13. Almost as good as Zillow **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Spencer S. | Chiropractor, owner, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Trulia?** How easy it is for anyone to find my rentals or listings. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Not as easy to search as Zillow. I am unable to limit my searches by number of bedrooms, price, home type, square feet, etc. Positives on the ability to save properties to see later. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** It's a good search engine to advertise and find rentals and properties, good comparisons, but not strong enough by itself you will need other sources of information. The fact that you can't limit the search to different parameters is a big draw back to many people. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great for marketing of our properties. I have a good amount of people that say they found my advertised properties on Trulia. ### 14. Great app **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Trulia?** This service provides easy access and you can easily see new listings **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Sometimes this service can be oversaturated with content **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** It is one of the better listing services **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Purchasing new properties. Finding the best deals ### 15. As a real estate professional, I did not have a pleasant experience with Zillow/Trulia **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adrian C. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Trulia?** It's a good resource for home buyers looking for more information about properties. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** The data on there is not fully in sync with the MLS databases. We attempted to use the Premier Agent program to get more clients, but it was not very effective compared to other forms of marketing. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** It's ok for consumers but it's hit/miss for real estate professionals looking to use it as a lead generation tool. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We attempted to use the Premier Agent program to get more clients, but it was not very effective compared to other forms of marketing. The profiles are good though as it allows us to showcase our sales history and team profiles. So it's a great way to get our name out there organically (outside of the ads). ### 16. Okay for browsing **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carla M. | Author, Real Estate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2017 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I like that listings are easy to search, and photo tours are readily available. You can search many rentals and for sale properties. Also owners are able to list their own properties with out having to use an agent, which can be helpful for them. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** As an Agent, I dislike that listings are not updated as frequently as they should be. Consumers see the listings here and get excited about them, only to find out that the properties are no longer available--quite often having been off the market for some time. Rentals are the worst, but that is hard anywhere because they often do not last long. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Do not use Trulia if you want to know the latest market updates or find the most current properties. Please find a local real estate agent who can be your "neighborhood expert". **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using Trulia allows us to syndicate listings to many more consumers than just using the local multiple listing service. ### 17. Trulia is a great tool when searching for a specific type of property with specific specifications **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen S. | Senior Associate / Team Operations, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I like the ease of use for Trulia and it's simple to refine your search. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I don't like how crowded the site feels. A site like Zillow may be preferable. There is no map feature on the home page and a lot of times it does not have all of the locations as other sites. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** There should be a map. I know it's tough to copy Zillow, but I think the site could be improved **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Looking for homes for a relative (personal use). in comparison to zillow, I like the interface and filter settings better. ### 18.

Similar to other listing websites, but was very easy to maneuver around. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Not sure if this is a dislike, but I used the website more on computer than my iphone.

Very user friendly and the filter features are helpful. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** While being able to sort by rooms and cost is nice, Trulia would be better if you had other filter options as well (commute, nearby amenities, etc). **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Recommend Trulia to people at the company looking to find a new apartment (so that they can shorten their commute), Makes things very easy for 20-somethings new to the process. ### 20.

It shows map or list view and always shows the images so you know what you're looking at. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I dislike that sometimes it may be outdated.

It gives me a bigger perspective on the area. ### 28.

They really put forth a lot of effort into their UX as well **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I dislike the fact that it's not as easy as Redfin when it comes to property searches using their map. I can't pin-point what it is, but the UX is lacking when compared to Redfin. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Try it out. If you don't like it, move to Refin. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were using Trulia to research into properties that were coming in as leads to our database. ### 31.

Truilia Review **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2017 **What do you like best about Trulia?** The easy & fast access for me and my clients **What do you dislike about Trulia?** It's not always the most accurate information **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Houses will be sold but still show up on Trulia as for sale, so clients get disappointed ### 34. Could Be Better **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura S. | Tenant Services Coordinator, Commercial Real Estate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 21, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** What I probably like the most about Trulia is their mobile app. It has a nice minimalistic look and a clear map and list feature. They also have custom filters you can set to narrow your search. I have used Trulia for both personal and business use because Trulia has listings the MLS does not, like by owner listings. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Trulia does have filters on their site that can be used to narrow searches, however, it does not always filter out all of the unwanted properties. For example, if you were to mark "laundry in unit" as a filter, it for some reason will still show listings that may not have laundry in unit. Similar with the pet filter, it may show properties that do not specify a pet policy, which should be a required question when someone posts a listing. Another issue with the way their search is constructed is that if you are looking for a listing that is 2 bedrooms and you set the max price at $1,000, Trulia may show you an apartment complex with a price range of $1,000-$3,000. What that can mean is that a studio apartment at that building is $1,000 but a 2 bedroom is really $2,500, which would not fit in your search criteria. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** It is easy to use and convienient, however, I would consider using this along with other applications because no listing applications has every available listing. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** A benefit of Trulia is the convienience. Because they have a relatively well designed application, it is easy to use on the go or to find listings near by. They also have a very simple and clear process for listing properties. ### 35. It's not Zillow **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pam Tinkham P. | Catalog Layout Artist, Graphic Design, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** The site is attractive, the I do like the way school and crime information is easily visible. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I don't think this site is as accurate with their financial information as Zillow is. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Don't bother. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding a site that for me, does not work as well as another of it's same category means after 2 or 3 attempts to use it, I don't waste my time any longer. Trulia, in my opinion, does not offer as accurate information in terms of real numbers, and right now I am viewing a property in my own neighborhood...the description of the neighborhood is close to reality, but not completely true. This alone leads me to steer clear of Trulia. ### 36. GoTo Real Estate Search **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dorothy E. | Owner/Broker, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Trulia seems to be a very user friendly tool for. One real estate professionals. A large number of clients use this tool ahead of any other, with the exception of searches I've setup for them within MLS. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** When I initialize the tool, it shows properties in areas other than where I'm located. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** This is an excellent tool for. none real estate professionals to research real estate properties. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows easy search of properties by clients, easy for them to share those with my staff for further review. ### 37. trulia agent **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katy D. | Realtor, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I like that I can feature my properties on Trulia, this gives them extra exposure **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I dislike that Trulia is slow to update, and the property values they have aren't a true indication of current sales. I dislike that I got a lot of calls for rental properties when I do not do any work with them. Quality of the leads does not seem very good. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** it allows you to add extra zip codes, but when I did I seemed to get a lot of junk calls and not much of value, when putting back to just my primary zip, I do not get as many calls but seem better quality. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am getting exposure and by featuring my properties getting them extra exposure. I have expanded my online presence. ### 38. Not worth the money **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jimmy H. | Realtor, Real Estate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Tough call, but I'd say the best thing about Trulia is the fact that it is so easy to provide a value to people who call from Trulia bc of Trulia/Zillow being so incapable. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** The quality of the people looking for information is not ideal. Frequently unqualified, looking to rent, already have a Realtor, etc. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** don't **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** I would say that it does generate a couple leads a week. I have closed business, but the customers reminded me several times that they already had a Realtor, but they liked me more but were willing to work with the other Realtor if I didn't get them the house/deal they wanted. ### 39. Trulia for real estate **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Farming | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I prefer to use trulia for rental listings. I believe the client that is looking for a rental uses online resources more so than realtor resources. Therefore my listings get in front of more potential renters easier. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** For listings I prefer to not use Trulia. I like to stick with the Mutltiple list service instead and market my listings more towards agents than buyers. This creates more networking opportunities for me with other agents who have buyers and will recommend viewing my listings. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** I recommend having a separate website geared towards luxury listings. I think if there is way to make sure that potential buyers are qualified it will cut down on timing issues for realtors. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting listings in front of the right people whether that is a rental or a listing for sale. certain websites are better for certain listings. ### 40. trulia review **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Nothing! This site pawns itself off on the public as if it is some sort of Real Estate brokerage. It advertises that it can somehow help buyers purchase, sell, rent and/or mortgage real estate when in fact, they a simply a referral site. They use the listing information that hard working, licensed agents/brokers have produced to deceive the public that they are in the real estate business. Unlike REALTORS that are licensed in their states and belong to an Association or Board that requires an adherence to a strict code of ethics, they have ZERO accountability. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Everything! This site pawns itself off on the public as if it is some sort of Real Estate brokerage. It advertises that it can somehow help buyers purchase, sell, rent and/or mortgage real estate when in fact, they a simply a referral site. They use the listing information that hard working, licensed agents/brokers have produced to deceive the public that they are in the real estate business. In addition, their data is often out of date, already sold or off of the market! I have lost count of how many times I have had to tell one of my clients that the property that they "found on trulia" sold last year! They have no responsibility to ANYONE for the information that they put out to the public. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** This site pawns itself off on the public as if it is some sort of Real Estate brokerage.

No code of ethics, no contracts with buyers or sellers, no licensing responsibilities. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** None! My company has joined a movement in the industry to exclude trulia from our listing IDX agreements. The main benefit is that we don't have to worry about their ineptitude reflecting poorly on our business. ### 41. Not as advertised **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I didn't have a good experience with Trulia advertising. The leads that I did get seem to be putting in requests with several Realtors at the same time, so even getting back to leads within 5 or 10 minutes doesn't mean you'll convert leads. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** I subscribed to Trulia advertising a while ago, and I found it very disappointing. The results were nowhere near what was "sold" to me during the sales call. What I've heard from agents that do a lot of advertising in Trulia is that you need to spend A LOT of money on Trulia to make it worth the investment. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** The purpose of advertising on Trulia is to cultivate more leads, but instead of paying for leads, I've focused on building my word of mouth lead generation. ### 42. Nice way to get leads **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe C. | Realtor, Real Estate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** As a realtor pairing with Trulia has been a great way to get new buyers and sellers. It is a great resource for consumers so I try to use it as much as possible. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Sometimes the information regarding whether or not a home is for sale updates slowly. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** As a realtor use it as an advantage for yourself. Don't see it as competition. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our buyers take a lot of the home search load off of my shoulders. They know what they are looking for better than I do. ### 43. Nice site to use for searching rentals **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather B. | Director of Operations and Program Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I liked the feature that allowed you to share information between people-an old colleague of mine created a board he could post listings for me. Nice to be able to filter listings by pet criteria! **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Too many emails with search results that only included part of my criteria, so I got lots of listing that didn't allow pets. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding a place to live after relocation for myself and other new employees. ### 44.

Great integration of maps.

I've only heard good feedback from renters as far as ease of use and navigation of properties. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trulia is straight forward, to the point, and accurately communicates property specs to it's users. ### 47. Lots of time wasters but you will get leads **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tip I. | Realtor, Real Estate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** Consistently sent leads to us even if they weren't of good quality **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Lots of people had no idea anyone would be calling. They resell these to multiple parties (more than other vendors) so you're fighting against an unknown amount of competition. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** might be useful to have a dedicated person calling them as soon as they come in. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We got some deals out of them but it took a while ### 48. Very Similar to Zillow **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dina P. | Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** It's very similar to Zillow. I have not been using it as much as Zillow. User friendly. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Does not give an accurate market analyses for the buyers/sellers. Often confuses the buyers about how much they can afford. Expensive to get leads. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Very similar to Zillow. Worth trying **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Advertising. Like getting reviews from my customers and then sharing it on Facebook and my company website ### 49. Trulia is a good but not great Real Estate Tool **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric V. | Associate Advisor (Hornstein|Fetter Multi-Family Team), Commercial Real Estate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** The site has a good look and feel, and is more reliable than some other similar websites out there (including Zillow, even though they are now the same company). I find a lot of use in some of the lesser-used features, including things like crime-rate visualization for different neighborhoods. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** The data can be unreliable. Houses that are listed as on the market oftentimes aren't, sometimes because they have already sold and other times because they were actual rental listings, and other times because they were never listed for sale or rent at all. It's not as bad as some other sites in this respect, but it's far from perfect. It can also be a bit spamy from time to time, as it pushes broker advertisements and other similar advertisements pretty hard. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Use this tool as one of many tools - it is not fail-proof, and it's not comprehensive in nature. But it does provide some features and functionality that you might find valuable. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trulia is an OK tool for initial research and data gathering in the residential real estate world. A lot of residential brokers view it as the bane of their existence, but I would not go that far. If clients are relying solely on sites like Trulia and Zillow, they will be underinformed or misinformed, but that doesn't mean they don't have value at all. ### 50. Good, but not always accurate **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2016 **What do you like best about Trulia?** I like being able to see the crime ratings for each neighborhood. I can even see exactly what crimes were committed and when. **What do you dislike about Trulia?** Trulia has listings that are not always accurate in their price, status, and statistics. **Recommendations to others considering Trulia:** Be aware the listings might not always be accurate. **What problems is Trulia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trulia can be a great way for customers to take a look at homes without actually walking through them. It can help my clients get an idea of the kind of home they are looking for. It helps them narrow down what they like and don't like without having to tour a bunch of homes. ## Trulia Discussions - [What is Trulia used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-trulia-used-for) - [View Trulia pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/trulia/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-10+17%3A08%3A40+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a7937632-588a-4077-874b-63e963addfd5&secure%5Btoken%5D=b729e47b15bda1ced6583bb75fd65fc81d730192ea64ee59270f87c7c1b774d3&format=llm_user) ## Trulia Features **Listing Service Features** - Premium Listings & Profiles - MLS Integration - Listing Management Portal - CMA Tools - Website Integration / Widgets - CRM Integration - Listing Syndication - Agent Profiles - Mortgage Calculators - Advertising & Marketing Tools **Listing Service Features** - Listing Syndication - Listing Management Portal - Agent Profiles - Premium Listings & Profiles - Website Integration / Widgets - CMA Tools - Mortgage Calculators - CRM Integration - MLS Integration - Advertising & Marketing Tools ## Top Trulia Alternatives - [Apartments.com](https://www.g2.com/products/apartments-com/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (32 reviews) - [Realtor.com](https://www.g2.com/products/realtor-com/reviews) - 3.5/5.0 (91 reviews) - [Crexi](https://www.g2.com/products/crexi/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (123 reviews)
