An absolutely massive transaction took place recently in the real
estate industry. A $3.5 billion dollar transaction, in fact. No, we
aren't bragging about a deal we closed, we are talking about Zillow's
acquisition of Trulia. These are 2 of the 3 biggest players in the
online home search industry and 98% of buyers look at these sites first
before they even contact an agent.
These sites are important, both to the consumer and
the agent. We work a lot with Zillow and spend thousands on their site
each month to get better online listings and to get our buyers on the
site in touch with our sellers. Zillow currently receives over 80
million visitors a month , and with the acquisition of Trulia, that
number is only going to increase.
These sites are great for searching for homes online
and we are proud to do business with them, but we do run into problems
from time to time. One thing we don't like about Zillow is their
zestimate feature. It's not very accurate and can cause a lot of
headaches for buyers, sellers, and agents. When
it comes to getting an accurate and true value of your home, you need
to speak with a real live agent who has boots on the ground in your
area.
If you have any questions , please feel free to give us a call. We are here to help. Have a great rest of the week everyone!
