The trimming by Zillow and Trulia means the real estate tech and sales talent pool got a big infusion and firms are looking to take advantage by snapping up some valuable human capital. Andrew Flachner, CEO of RealScout, a collaborative search platform branded to brokers and agents, reached out to one former Trulia employee who he said already had three job interviews scheduled. While Zillow is expected to keep the Trulia brand and website alive, the deal paves the way for it to make cost reductions in areas where there are redundancies, and potentially boost revenue by raising rates it charges real estate industry players for ads and leads across sites, including Yahoo Homes, AOL Real Estate, HGTV's FrontDoor, HotPads and MSN Real Estate.
