Windermere and Zillow Announce Partnership
October 2nd, 2009 Categories: Find Your Home, Market Trends, Marketing, Real Estate News
The following post appeared on Zillow’s website announcing the new partnership between Windermere Real Estate and Zillow.com. I thought it was great that they mentioned Windermere in San Diego, coming on the heals of meetings held between Steve Rodgers and our Marketing Team with Lloyd Frink, Zillow’s co-founder and President.
Written by Spenser Rascoff, Zillow’s COO, see the article below:
Today, I am thrilled and excited to announce our new partnership with Windermere Real Estate, the largest real estate brand here in our own back yard in Seattle (among many other places).
Windermere is one of the largest real estate brokerages in the country, with 8,000 real estate agents and more than 30,000 listings. Windermere’s listings now appear on Zillow through an automated listings feed, which is great news for Windermere agents and Zillow’s home shoppers.
If you’re a home buyer in one of Windermere’s markets like Seattle, Portland or San Diego, you’ll now see thousands more listings in your area. All of those listings now appear on Zillow.com and on Zillow’s iPhone application, the #1 residential real estate app on the iPhone.
If you’re a Windermere agent, it’s time to celebrate and to thank your broker for doing you a huge favor. Your listings are now on one of the largest real estate websites at no additional cost to you, complete with multiple photos and open house information.
If your brokerage doesn’t currently send Zillow a listings feed, watch this video to learn more.
