Is This Zillow Ad Misleading?

This Zillow print ad appears in RISMedia’s December 2007 issue. We wonder if Zillow has evidence to show you will sell a house faster on it’s site than somewhere else. And to what are they comparing? Knowing Zillow’s reputation for transparency, we ask they back up their marketing claim with some data. […]

Zillow: Soft Pillows and Soft Porn

Is Zillow.com keeping watch on its trademark? Apparently, others are using the word zillow to market pillows and blog about fishnets (and we’re not talking fishermen). Since it’s not real estate related (as far as we can tell from our investigation), it just might be legal.
Here’s the Zillow Pillow. Just $20.

The Zillow Book came […]

Owners in Zillowland: We Want Out, Zestimates Removed

As any long time reader of this blog knows, we believe it is every homeowner’s RIGHT to decide:

where their property is listed for saleĀ  (or not listed)

who will list, advertise and market their home as their agent.

In our […]

Zillow Needs More Money and Gets It

Investors who know Rich Barton, founder of Expedia, have given his valuation website Zillow $87 million so far to figure out how to make money from the real estate industry. Barton, who has no experience in the real estate business, decided homes were just like cars and said he would create the Kelley […]

The Power of Print: Perception as Truth

Don’t believe everything you read, and only half of what you see.
I found the piece below in today’s OC Register, Marketplace /Building and Growth section. The small subheading reads: From the Blog Files. Jonathan Lanser is the OC Register blogmeister so it may fall under his jurisdiction. This little piece of pseudo-journalism sits […]

Is Zillow Q and A Lookie Loo Heaven and Listing Agent Hell?

As a real estate agent listing a home on Zillow, you, and the owner, should be prepared to answer some tough (and stupid) questions from the curious lookie loos or just plain nosy. Perhaps the answers will cause the serious buyer to look away (poorly worded, seemingly evasive or incomplete answers, etc.). Who […]

Is Zillow Using Our Homes As Bait?

Is Zillow using our homes as bait?
First, they publicly displayed your home and put their zestimate price tag on it (and did not let you remove it, even if your sale price was much higher and the zestimate was cockeyed). Now they will allow ANYONE to claim a home is for sale without the […]
