Description

Join our mission to give the people power to unlock life’s next chapter. We’re looking for smart, passionate people to join our largely distributed workforce as we reimagine the real estate transaction and change the way people buy, sell, rent and finance their homes.Our homes are the heartbeat of our lives, and we believe that finding a home shouldn’t be so hard in today’s always-on world. That’s why we’re reimagining the traditional rules of real estate to make it easier than ever to move from one home to the next. Our journey began nearly 15 years ago with a handful of employees and one big idea: to make it radically easier for people to move. We began by helping people understand and track their homes’ values with the Zestimate, our proprietary algorithm, and then with advanced technology and valuable connections with real estate professionals. Today, Zillow has become a household name; “Zillow” is Googled more frequently than “real estate.” We believe that the time for a seamless and convenient real estate experience is now. This is Zillow’s next chapter.

What do you like best about Zillow?

The only reason to advertise on Zillow is so that you are the only agent that appears on your listings. Other than that, I find it way overpriced for the amount and quality of leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

Customer service is so-so. The people usually have another Realtor and are very short or just want information. A bunch of them are solicitors or renters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zillow:

Don't use Zillow to advertise. They are way too expensive. I have just about broken even on my investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zillow solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not solving any problems using Zillow. I have realized a few decent leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

It's a quick and easy way to get a rough estimate of properties values, see photos, and start to understand the basics of real estate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

Although relatively good, Zillow does not seem to update its information, which means that when a home sells, it will stay on their website showing that it is still available. This starts to cause difficulty, because a client will send me a link saying, "Hey, I'd like to view this home!" And I have to tell them that it sold weeks ago... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zillow:

Make sure to check multiple websites and consult an agent to see what is currently active inventory in the housing market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zillow solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like to use multiple websites and inventory checkers to make sure that homes and information are current, correct, and useful for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

Zillow is considered a great resource for consumers, but that is actually not true. It creates a skewed perception of the market and values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

Everything. Zillow, trulia, all of those websites are a burden to agents. they try to get you to sign up for leads, however very few quality leads actually come from these websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zillow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marketing properties. Zillow gives no benefits besides giving the consumers access to information that isn't correct. They give skewed perceptions of market and values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
