Thousands of for-sale listings from Canada are now live on Zillow, with
more listings expected to roll out soon
SEATTLE, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ -- Zillow®, the leading
real estate and rental marketplace in the U.S., announced today
that it has started featuring Canada's listings on Zillow's mobile app and
website.
Zillow has relationships with thousands of brokerages and
hundreds of MLSs in the U.S., offering them a simple way to market
listings to millions of home shoppers. Zillow is expanding these
efforts into Canada.
Starting today, home shoppers can use Zillow to search for
Canadian for-sale properties by postal code, city or province, and
use Zillow's comprehensive search filters to customize and save
their search. All Canadian listings featured on Zillow will display
the home's list price, a description of the property, photos and
available home facts.
Consistent with Zillow's U.S. listings, Canadian properties will
prominently display the listing agent's contact information as well
as link to the brokerage or franchise website so buyers can easily
learn more about the home or connect with a local real estate
professional to help navigate the sale.
"It's an exciting time at Zillow and we're thrilled to start
expanding our listings coverage outside the U.S. and provide the
millions of home shoppers who use Zillow every day an easy way to
see Canadian homes for sale," says Errol
Samuelson, Zillow Chief Industry Development Officer.
"Zillow provides unprecedented global exposure for Canadian
listings on a reliable and trusted platform home shoppers love.
We're excited about the momentum we're making in Canada, and with every new Canadian
partnership we build, the home shopping experience on Zillow will
only get better."
Any agent whose brokerage or franchise partners with Zillow can
put a home on Zillow for free and benefit from the visibility their
listing will receive on the largest real estate site on the
webi.
Zillow attracts a global audience of home shoppers, receiving
more than 100 million visits a year from non-U.S.
audiencesii. Zillow currently has agreements to receive
more than 50,000 listings from Canadian brokerages and franchisors.
These listings will continue to roll out on Zillow.
