Zillow iPhone App Creates Huge Exposure for Your Listings
May 13, 2009 by Mark
If you are not already putting your listings on Zillow, including updated photos, you are missing a huge opportunity to get some additional free exposure for your client’s home. Within just two weeks of launching, Zillow’s iPhone application has been downloaded more than 260,000 times.
Basically anyone who has downloaded this free application can pull up a map, based on where they are standing (or driving) and it will display the typical information that you find on Zillow. This includes homes for sale (as well as the usual Zestimates, sold history, etc). If someone is out and about and sees a house for sale, they can simply click the app and it will automatically determine where they are standing (using GPS) and let them know what the listing price is for any homes around them, provided the agent took the time to get that information on Zillow. You can even see additonal photos that have been uploaded.
I would imagine savvy home sellers will know of this application as well and expect you to be keeping their listing data updated in Zillow so they get this additional exposure. For more information about this new application visit the following pages.
