Zillow Reviews & Product Details - Page 27

Zillow is probably the most comprehensive site that does this sort of thing, so it can be a good starting place for researching what residential real estate is on the market, how much it is selling for, etc. Although not nearly as good as an official appraisal or Broker Opinion of Value, the Zestimate can be a useful tool for monitoring pricing trends and getting a sense for a property's value in any given market.

Although it has gotten better over the years, the data can be unreliable and/or outdated. Oftentimes houses will show up as active when they're already under contract or sold. Other times, apartments or houses that are listed for rent will show up as for sale. While definitely useful in certain ways, the Zestimate can also be a misleading figure, as it has a margin of error of up to 10%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a nice site for people to use who are just starting to search for a home to buy. The interface is user friendly, and the additional data contained about the surrounding areas is very helpful for some people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data sync is not always accurate for properties listed on the website. Many times our clients and prospective buyers get confused very easily about the details contained or omitted from the property details. Zestimate can be very confusing for clients who are sellers. It takes a long explanation to describe why their house may or may not fit withing what the website has entered for their Zestimate range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike marketing efforts, where you are casting out a large net and hoping to catch something, with Zillow you are for the most part paying to be put in contact with people who are actively looking to buy or sell a home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Borrowers are not always prequalified, sometimes are already represented, and not always that interested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No one likes to spend money & Zillow advertising isn't cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zillow is an extremely comprehensive tool for understanding residential real estate, both single family and multifamily. They have a very user friendly and clear platform. Personally, I really like "zestimate". This is an interesting and accurate tool that helps individuals understand the value of their assets, and possibly what direction values are going.

I do not like how there is not much consistency with the type of photos that are uploaded as the description to the site. Without a set standard, there is room for manipulation and misleading the user. Properties are often shown in a light that is not accurate of their actual state.

I like that Zillow is a quick and easy way to pull up information about properties while on the go. I can find last sale dates, see pictures and find out info about the neighborhood all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does not update quickly or accurately with the market changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is easy to use on both a computer and a mobile device. It allows you to post a listing that is similar to and MLS listing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the information is not always up to date or valid. Sometimes it takes days or weeks for the information to be current. For example, a home that has been recently sold will still show up as an active listing on Zillow for about a week or so after the closing date. This is an issue for clients who like to use Zillow to search for homes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's nice that Zillow has all of the properties when you search by address and usually the square footage of the property is pretty correct however it doesn't always have everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When searching on Zillow and pulling up the properties it generally does not have the value that it should As a broker we feel that we get more accurate value information from the title companies and comps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
