In 2013, I said the following:

Zillow, Trulia, and Move should make sure they don’t get blindsided in the rentals space (by AirBnB) a few years from now.

I won’t say “I told you so”, but…there’s a bit of news on the “AirBnB and rentals” topic out of Florida. Read that here.

It seems to cement what I’ve been saying for years — AirBnB will be Zillow’s biggest competitor in rentals over the long haul.

Why?

AirBnB has what no one else as — home owner engagement.

Real estate just added another billion dollar company, without anyone realizing it.

Onward…
