About Zillow

Zillow is a business for real estate and rental marketplace. And it is made easier for house owners, buyers, sellers, renters, real estate brokers, mortgage specialists, landlords and property managers to find and discuss vital information regarding homes, real estate, mortgages, and home repair. The real estate search engine made a massive database of 110 million U.S. properties, including a house for rent and a place for sale also, and they will also update homes currently out of stock.
Renters with rental units listed on Zillow Rental may pay their rent online. To pay their landlord, Zillow provides credit and debit cards. They launched a Zillow flex business as a general referral-fee network with no upfront payment. The main idea is that real estate brokers participating in this have a flexible program to pay a flat referral fee when the deal closes. Zillow operates through its website Zillow.com, and it has a popular site of mobile real estate apps with more than 12 apps across all major platforms. Zillow Group, Inc. is a division of Zillow that manages a collection of some of the most prominent and active real estate and home-related websites and apps. The Zillow Group’s companies include Zillow, Trulia, StreetEasy, hot pads, Naked Apartments, RealEstate.com, and Out East.
