CondoDomain & Other Real Estate Brokerages Growing Despite “Crisis”


There are fish in the sea better than have ever been caught ~ Irish saying.

Everywhere I read the word “CRISIS”– financial crisis, housing crisis, Wall Street/Main Street crisis, Web 2.0 real estate website crisis.  Let’s face it, bad news makes for good traffic–like a car accident bringing craning necks.

Yes, for many brokerages the cup may be emptying — but for others, it’s just starting to fill up.  Case in point:  CondoDomain.   While Redfin announced the pink slipping of a good chunk of its work force, my buddy Tony Longo and crew at CondoDomain are movin’ on up.  CondoDomain, a flat fee based (with rebate) online real estate brokerage, just announced its expansion into the Atlanta market.  That makes 4 cities (Boston, Charlotte and Dallas) for the “non VC funded, boot strapped, shoe string tied” condo buyers’ brokerage.

OK, it’s not U.S. domination, but here’s a real estate company moving forward, while others are busy taking polls on just how bad we ought to feel today.

Good luck during the Crisis, Tony.

And speaking of good friends, Michael Daly, a real estate broker and blogger in the idyllic Hamptons of Long Island has just announced the opening of True North Realty Associates, an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage.  Hey Mike, didn’t you hear there’s a crisis?

If you are swimming against the crisis tide, let us in on the good news.

  • Best of luck to Tony and Michael! We opened our little independent brokerage in February and it's doing just fine. It's just me and eight other agents, but we're weathering the crisis.

  • Congrat's to Michael on his new business. I think he changed his blog from what he had before and IMHO it is better geared to the potential clientele in the Hamptons.
  • Hey all .... thanks for the comments. They are very much appreciated. With some sour times @ Redfin and now @ Zillow, we hope to keep our head above water. I'm confident our model, like Redfin & Zillow, will adjust and continue to grow, even in these tough economic times. Best of luck to all and keep in touch!

    Michael - great move by the way. Now I know who to call when I buy my Hamptons Mansion :)
