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?

I loveee how easy it is to look at different neighborhoods within a town, and see the street view. Most things are listed that I need, though I usually look at the apartment's actual website for more security, once I've found a listing I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

I don't feel like I see every public listing on Zillow. It's vastly different from what's on apartments.com or realtor.com. I know homeowners have to choose to list with Zillow but sometimes it feels very biased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Zillow has been the bread and butter of my apartment search this year! I'm moving across the country and it's really helped me get to know the different neighborhoods (price point, vibe, street view, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

arlier this year, I signed up for Zillow Premier Agent with the understanding that it would generate qualified buyer leads for the Sarasota zip code 34246. The salesperson assured me that all leads would be qualified, and that the process would include screening potential buyers by asking important questions such as whether they were working with an agent, their timeframe to buy, and whether they were pre-approved or paying cash. I was also told I would have a dedicated account manager.

However, once the leads started coming in, it quickly became apparent that they were not qualified. Many leads were already working with other agents, while others were just browsing and had no intention to buy. When I raised this issue with your team, I was met with poor excuses. I repeatedly contacted my account manager, but my calls went unreturned, and when she did respond, it was days later with unhelpful responses, claiming they would look into the matter, but no action was taken.

As the poor-quality leads continued, the level of service from my account manager deteriorated further. Eventually, I managed to speak to a supervisor who informed me that my account would be canceled due to dissatisfaction. Despite this, I was recently contacted by Zillow, attempting to offer me another service, which I declined.

Now, I am receiving collection calls and emails, harassing me for payment on an account that was never serviced properly. This situation has become unacceptable. I strongly believe Zillow has failed to deliver the services promised and is engaging in dishonest practices, taking advantage of real estate agents.

I expect immediate resolution of this issue and the removal of any charges from my account. Please confirm receipt of this email and provide a solution to prevent further escalation.

Sincerely, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

This was a very bad and stressful experience from the very start to the day we cancelled the account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

We became Zillow Premier agents 5/29/24. Our first experience was a showing "no show," that was double booked with another Zillow agent, at the same property, 30 minutes prior. Agent support could not explain how this could happen. We agreed to paying $800/month for 4 leads who Zillow said would be verified pre-screened, pre-qualified leads that are ready to buy and are requesting to book appointments. This lead counted as one. With multiple calls, emails, and an escalation to supervisors, Zillow still has no explanation how this happened. They have now credited $250.00 for this one lead. In 2 months, we have had 2 bookings, both no shows. 2 calls were customers who already have agents, 2 calls were customers who requested to speak with listing agent only, 1 who pushed button to speak with for sale by owner, and none who were pre-qualified or ready to buy. In addition, we had multiple messages that we had missed a Zillow connection call, though our phones did not ring. We connected two phones to our account to ensure that we didn't miss calls and troubleshooted re-uploading app, resetting phone options, etc. and could still not answer calls once they did ring. Each of these went against our answer % rate and showed as missed or declined. When we received other calls they repeatedly failed to connect though we answered every time. We reported this multiple times through calls and emails and requested a refund. Agent support assured us that they were working to resolve and app was being updated and problem was being reported to their engineers then committed to follow up but would not return calls nor have ever provided compensation. Each failed lead was a missed opportunity to connect with a potential client which is impossible to put a price on. None of this was due to our phone system or lack of understanding how to answer. Our phone works perfectly for our other lead system and agency calls. The whole platform is Very unprofessional and a complete waste of money

What do you like best about Zillow?

I like that this website gives you the opportunity to search for housing listings. Whether its an apartment or a house, they give you plenty of options that are on the market. The website or app is pretty easy to use and self-explanatory. Uploading any listings is also easy, giving you the option to search for any locations as well. I use this when I am interested in properties around my neghborhood. The customer support is also pretty helpful, especially with the realtors. The website gives you nearby listings as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

I believe sometimes the people who list these properties need to be verified in what they are selling. So making sure that a listing is true to what it is is important. Sometimes you can't see images of a listing when it is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They are trying to track down real listings and making sure that certain listings have an amount of photos uploaded as well as additional information for the visitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

What I like best about Zillow is stability to screen my clients for my rentals, as well as the ability to list my properties for sale. Zillow has a very large network of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals. The landlord and tenant rental portal is by far the best and unmatched in the industry!

Did I mention the abundance of unlimited free leads! Zillow is packed with a ton of features that will assist you in your everyday real estate business. It doesn't get any better than Zillow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

I've used Zillow for quite a few years at the current time I have had no issues with Zillow. Any guidance I may have needed or support in learning the platform I was able to contact customer service and receive their expedited and professional customer service support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before using Zillow I've had problems keeping organized with my applications and leads, and I've had unsuccessful attempts at properly running background checks on my rental clients. Since using Zillow I have been able to stay very organized keep track of every message and application. I'm able to create my leases as well as collect payments and the rental portal. Zillow has been the best in solving any problems I may have had in the past and present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

It is like a super helpful tool for finding homes. It's easy to use, and there are lots of houses to choose from. The filters make it simple to find exactly what you're looking for without any trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

Nothing to much dislike about zillow but the zestimate feature's accuracy can vary. It's essential to supplement it with additional research. Advertisements, while understandable, can be a bit intrusive. Also, in some areas, not all listings may be up-to-date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes finding homes easy, saving time that would be spent searching through numerous listings. Also it's easy-to-use design simplifies the house-hunting process, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zillow?

I love that Zillow helped us find our home with confidence. We saw the house pop up under the filter we had pre-set and went to view it. The facts listed for each of the houses we viewed were accurate which made the house buying process a little easier. What I enjoy about Zillow in general is that it isn't just for people in the buying selling process. It is fun to browse even as a real estate enthusiast. Having an eye on the market when I'm not neccessarily looking to buy or sell at that moment keeps me informed, which I love. The website and app are both easy to use which is a bonus and a reason I use Zillow weekly.

We found a good listing agent through thier customer service when we were new to our area and exploring different realitor options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zillow?

Not a dislike but I would love to see Zillow expand their features and listings to bring up any key factors like flood zones or other risks in that area and link to the local readings in your area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Zillow allows me to filter based on a specific criterea as a home buyer and narrow the search down to a specific area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
