I don't think you're looking hard enough: Zillow, Trulia, 42Floors, Yahoo Real Estate, Redfin, Movoto

I'm sure there are many more.

Realty has poor technology because realtors generally don't utilize technology well. The MLS is a festering mess of non-normalized data, and no one cares because real estate is still very much people-driven.

I am aware of all of them and do agree that real estate is still very much people-driven, and in my opinion always will be. That being said, the way Realtors market themselves these days is not effective enough, that coupled with just the sheer number of Realtors, (Over 1 Million), makes for a bunch of marketing noise.
