		<description>I think the article raises many questions about how we all perceive our own self as we seek to make a difference in the life of another.  Sounds pippe longstocking but that is what we are all trying to do isn&#039;t it?  Make a difference.  Sure we want to get rich, but the first taks is service.  The only way this can be accomplished is by taking out te middle ma and getting back to grass roots marketing.  Head on....one to one....</description>

		<description>Thank you Redfin for this post!  

I was starting to feel a little bit alone in the world for having the idea that a blog or web site is for the company product or service, let alone being a company working to have purpose.  Our site was designed to do the same as you point out... get the point across with the KISS mentality.

When the Apella main web site was being put together the debate over ad sales was very much toiled with and in the end the thought process was to put that on the back burner and concentrate on our main purpose of being an appraisal management company designed for real estate sales professionals and homeowners.  Because the concept of what we do is new, we knew that our efforts would needed to be put into consumer education and introduction.

We have received much interest from others for our choice to do it the way we currently are and that being what seems to be Apella&#039;s little concern over the lost revenue from add sales.

I say stick with your main objective and for the record, I foresee your service reaching rural markets by the means of the Internet, and when this happens the industry will be changed.  

Good Luck!</description>

		<description>well, redfin has a good strategy in motivating customers to deal with business on them. offering  direct transaction and keeping their focus on delivering good customer service and good value would really satisfy the needs of their customers.</description>
