The other bit of news to come out of Zillow.com is this: The real estate start-up is collecting, deploying and reselling advertising demographics in unique and interesting ways. The vast quantities of demographic information — income, property values, credit scores — that will be collected in the new Mortgage Marketplace software will be stored in […]
Seattle-based real estate start-up Zillow.com tonight releases its long-anticipated mortgage lending product. We’ve known for nearly a month that Zillow’s offering would include working loan originators in some fashion. What becomes clear tonight is that Zillow will basically be acting as a hands-off intermediary between mortgage-seeking clients and loan originators. Consumers using Zillow’s new Mortgage […]
Here’s the PR, which the vendor cheerleaders will have reported:* Leading real estate Web site Zillow.com and MLS Property Information Network today announced a partnership to feed listings from the New England area MLS to Zillow.com on a daily basis. This partnership initiates the first participation at the MLS level in Zillow’s Listings Feed program, […]
I’m going to get the newspaper news out of the way first: Starting now, if you are a loan originator, you can register with Zillow.com to receive mortgage and refinancing referrals from that Seattle-based internet start-up, once it ramps up its full — but still Top Secret — mortgage lending product. From Zillow’s PR team, […]
Why is Zillow.com the premier sponsor of BloodhoundBlog Unchained? They can speak for themselves (as they have), but my thinking all along was that they expected that we could put them in front of the kind of Realtors and lenders most likely to make the best use of the incredible software Zillow is producing.

BloodhoundBlog has grown up with Zillow.com. We’re consistently second or third on a Google search for Zillow.com, and Debunking Zillow.com is one percent or more of our traffic every day. On the other hand, we’ve also been big boosters of the tools Zillow has built to help sellers, buyers and in-the-trenches Realtors and lenders get […]
I’m thinking the lending product, whatever it turns out to be, is going to involve some kind of Customer Relationship Management/Transaction Management component anyway. And what does everyone say made it worthwhile to drink the HouseValues.com KoolAde? Yep — CRM/TM. Here’s my big-picture take: If you’re in any sort of business where the added-cost per […]
First the news on horseback. We’ll come back and gloss it again, but you’re likely to learn more by listening to the podcast linked below with Zillow.com’s David Gibbons. The news, from Zillow’s press release: Real estate Web site Zillow.com today announced a major expansion and upgrade to its database of nearly all homes in […]
There has been a ton of Zillow.com “news” lately, but mainly I’ve been ignoring it. News is news when it is something other than PR — free advertising for the company pushing the press release. In other words, what’s-in-it-for-me? — or for you or for anyone other than the owners of the company. So: Zillow […]
I’ve been saying this for a long time: Buyers are temporarily interested in listings. Owners are always interested in their homes. Zillow.com wants buyers, hence the move to accept listings feeds. But what they really want are owners, people who will come back to the site again and again, potentially to be sold new stuff […]
Not so much, despite a prank posting on the realty.bot’s forums: Zillow will be shut down on Nov 2nd Their revenue stream is in concert with the real estate market. They simply ran out of money. Hence no price updates for over a month. The Cluetrain runs on Saturdays in Seattle, so David Gibbons rushed […]
