Louis, you must be a closet psychologist. Perhaps the "pain" of living this cloistered lifestyle in a remote, republican rich, bible beltish, coastal village that leaves me little outlet for expression has somehow served as a muse.

In any event, I'm inspired knowing that my attempts to spice up tech talk has been noticed by two folks (yourself and Jon) who's ink I myself am drawn too.

Thanks.

I agree Marc is unique. I think I know how Marc does it. He is an artist. Really. As an accomplished guitarist and performer he transfers his music learning and display techniques to real estate. He cares and it comes through in his writing.
Besides he is from New York where stimuli is freely available. Outside the confines of NY, and sequested in an isolated California Central abode, Marc's imagination and creativity provide him with a faux substitute to the daily rich New York active street mosaic.
Marc's pain is our gain.

Jonathan, we appreciate you taking a look and the positive comments. We agree that consumers may initially have a difficult time understanding the usefulness of the site, since it’s breaking away from the traditional experience and expectations of a real estate search site.

In the long run we do feel that the comprehensiveness of the search and familiarity of a traditional search engine interface will keep them coming back over and over during their 4-8 month search phase. The issue of real estate sites having incomplete listing inventory seems to be a trend the bloggers and consumers are concerned about and the primary problem we are attempting to solve.

We have not “officially” launched and been operating quietly in beta. We are finalizing the testing on the consumer and agent tools that will help spread the word of the site and when its consumer grade… we will do something a little more official to get the word out. Thanks again and any feedback you have would be appreciated!

btw, I enjoyed your writing on this post, not quite sure how you make real estate tech writing so rich.
