CAPS Rating:

The Company is a full-service residential real estate brokerage firm, using the Internet, proprietary technology and efficient business processes to provide home buyers and sellers with high-quality service and value.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Real estate commissions are going to get pinched as housing prices get tight. ZIPR offers discount rates, plus they send the buyer cash after the close of escrow. Who wouldn't use them? There has been some talk about competition from Google Base Beta. My foolish opinion is that Google Base Beta ...More

Recs 0 (ZIPR) Har1en (77.66) Submitted: 2/25/08 4:07 PM : Start Price: $5.59 ZIPR Score: 0.17 Ziprealty has been trounced by the housing issues and loan issues popular in the press. These things do exist, however, in the long term, ZIPR will come out on top. They are an expanding discount broker, well suited to weather any market storm better than their competitors because they have built into their model cheap overhead and economies of scale on their website. They do depend on volume for earnings, however, and today the volume is not there. People are waiting to move, and the numbers will change eventually. Best of all, they are luring agents from other brokerages with the promise of regular paychecks and luring customers with the promise of great service and low commissions. I simply don't see how the brick-n-mortar brokerages can compete with their rates so much higher and their rents to pay on office space. They get away with a lot by reducing agent compensation if the agent fails, but that creates a poor incentive for those agents to stay. Once they start losing folks to ZIPR, I don't think they're likely to get them back. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Recs 3 (ZIPR) pbrman (< 20) Submitted: 8/15/07 7:58 PM : Start Price: $6.33 ZIPR Score: -13.46 Real estate commissions are going to get pinched as housing prices get tight. ZIPR offers discount rates, plus they send the buyer cash after the close of escrow. Who wouldn't use them? There has been some talk about competition from Google Base Beta. My foolish opinion is that Google Base Beta is going to BENEFIT internet based real estate. Google sells advertisements; they are not real estate brokers. Google will get the press, but not the commissions. ZIPR has cash and are expanding aggressively. This is a growth stock in a slowing sector, so don’t expect this stock to move until the street’s perception of real estate changes. Going against the tide is tough even for a good company, but this is where you find gems. At some point companies in this sector will exceed expectations. This will be a rewarding test of patience.
