Zillow.com’s wacky no-one-owns-a-wiki policy promotes no one’s name, brand or image — except its own
This is Drew Meyers from Zillow commenting on a post last week: Please note the real estate guide (which is a wiki) is VERY different than a blog. Since wikis are collaborative, no one person “owns” any of the content. That turns out to be not quite true. Zillow Blog featured two of my wiki […]

We live and work right on the Arizona Canal in North Central Phoenix. North Central is a nebulous geographical region. Properly speaking, it runs from Seventh Street to Seventh Avenue, Missouri Street to the Canal. Within those boundaries, you will find some of the most prosperous and powerful people in the city — two categories […]
From John Cook’s Venture Blog: As an investor and board member at Avvo, I asked [Zillow.com’s Rich Barton] when Zillow might roll out an online rating system for real estate agents. That idea is in the works, with Barton saying that the company also is trying to develop ways for consumers to search for agents […]

Arizona Republic reporter Peter Corbett phoned to say that Arizona Governor Janet Napilitano has signed Senate Bill 1291, which includes language that will permit Zillow.com and other no-fee Automated Valuation Models to operate without interference in the state. Corbett also notes that the Arizona Board of Appraisal has backed away from the cease and desist […]
Zillow blog. Advertise yourself as a lister in the neighborhoods you farm in a venue we know is strongly appealing to sellers. This is so smart it makes my brain ache… Later: Adopted. Whole-heartedly and with alacrity. I need for you to be shopping for what I’m selling, or else my advertising dollars are wasted. […]
This is me in the Arizona Republic (permanent link). State rethinks crackdown on online home appraisals The move by the Arizona Board of Appraisal and Attorney General Terry Goddard to prosecute Zillow.com, and potentially other Internet-based home valuation services, may be at an end. Last June and November, the board ordered Zillow to cease and […]
From Worse Than Failure, a coder’s redoubt: Donniel Thomas writes “Javascript isn’t for the weak of heart or those short of patience. What works in one browser may not function properly, or result in a nasty JS error in another (*cough*IE*cough). Which is why I can understand what this programmer meant.” The following screenshot is […]
To all appearances, the attempt to criminalize Zillow.com’s Zestimations of Arizona real property will be all over when the fat lady signs. Not sings, signs. Arizona Senate Bill 1291, as amended to suffer Automated Valuation Models gladly, passed it’s final reading tonight. The amended bill passed in the Senate by a vote of 28-2. All […]

At today’s World Wide Developer Conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the availability of a public beta version of Safari 3 for both the Macintosh and Windows. Apple’s goal is to increase Safari’s already-respectable market share, probably to induce more Windows users to switch to the Macintosh. Importantly, Safari 3 successfully runs Zillow.com’s main web […]
From the Zillow Blog: One request we received over and over again (including impassioned pleas from our own president, Lloyd Frink) was to let people see a list of Home Q&A in their city or ZIP code. Agents and other real estate professionals want to see what questions are being asked in their area and […]
The attempted shakedown of Zillow.com that began last October — when The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complaining that the nascent Seattle-based Automated Valuation Model (AVM) was misleading minority homeowners about the value of their homes — has come to stunningly banal conclusion. In a letter […]
