Realtors have for the longest time seen other realtors as competitors. Its time they recognise that the true competition is from large sites like Redfin that will use tech to gain an advantage over them. I realised this after several conversations with realtors about this open source project I've created to help them build decent websites: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder Most of them figured if it was open source then any of their competitors could use it and be just as good as them. They would say this even if they recognised that my product would give them a better website than they currently had. Pretty strange way of thinking if you ask me....

Show HN: PropertyWebBuilder – open source real estate site builder

A few months ago I asked for opinions here about if I should open source my code for creating real estate websites. The general consensus was that I should not but I decided to do it anyway ;) Here is the code: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder Will appreciate any feedback about how to make it more useful and developer friendly. Its gained a few github stars and a few people seem interested but I really want it to be used a lot more.
