Abstract: We analyzed the e-business websites of Realestate.yahoo.com, Realtor.com, and Zillow.com. We looked at the similarities and differences between them and how e-business components help differentiate one company from another and the role this plays in contributing to their success. We looked at which business model components, such as value proposition, target customers, distribution channels, and revenue streams, are important. The type of e-business models each company used and the ones that are more successful were investigated. We discovered some similarities and differences; some differences were the use of revenue streams for generating multiple sources of revenue, the type of e-business models used and the role they play in executing the e-business strategy.
