CINCINNATI, June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dotloop®, a
collaborative platform for real estate professionals that enables
agents, brokers, and third-party service providers to complete the
entire real estate transaction online, has renovated its
Cincinnati headquarters,
increasing its footprint in historical Longworth Hall from 12,000 square feet to 24,000
square feet. The additional office space will allow dotloop to
double its headcount from 80 employees when the company was
acquired by Seattle-based Zillow®
Group in 2015 to over 160 employees this year.
The renovated office demonstrates Zillow Group's commitment to
Cincinnati.
"We are proud of Zillow Group and dotloop's commitment to
Cincinnati," said Mayor
John Cranley. "By expanding their
business here in the city and by making a significant investment in
the community, the City of
Cincinnati is proud to proclaim today, June 26 'dotloop Day.'"
"Investing in the Midwest is an important priority for Zillow
Group and we're excited to expand our presence in Cincinnati," said Dan
Spaulding, Chief People Officer, Zillow Group. "We're
investing beyond traditional tech cities because talent is
everywhere. We work in real estate — an industry that touches all
communities. Every town has real estate agents, renters, buyers,
and sellers, and having people with different perspectives working
at our company has been hugely valuable in our success."
Austin Allison, dotloop founder
and general manager, shared a similar sentiment, "It was important
to me when we were acquired by Zillow Group that we maintain our
home in Cincinnati, and in fact
grow our presence in the city. As a native Cincinnatian, I know the
caliber of talent we have in the city. I am looking forward to
continuing to hire the best and brightest that the city has to
offer."
During a re-opening celebration at the office, Zillow Group will
also present a check for $25,000 to
Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, a local non-profit that provides
property development and management, residential services and
tenant advocacy to low-income residents. The donation is made
possible through Zillow Group's Home Project, the company's
signature social impact program, which aims to address housing
insecurity by pledging up to $5
million in cash and in-kind contributions over the next five
years to support vulnerable families.
Dotloop was founded in Cincinnati in 2009.
