Overall Satisfaction with Zillow

I use it for searching for potential properties for my glamping business that meet my listing criteria. I have saved searches and saved properties that I follow and track. I once used their contact form to get in touch with a realtor directly to arrange a property viewing. But that also put me on a list where the realtor called me many times after that.

Pros

  • Save searches
  • Manage favorite properties
  • Clean interface

Cons

  • Map view and flood plain views
  • Zoomed out / nation-wide map view
  • Automatically Showing listings in a general area, rather than the specific city boarder
  • Streamlined search process
  • Tracking favorites properties over time
  • Assessing market value of similar properties in the area
It is very useable, I’ll give it that. Zillow has done a good job or making a clean and simple interface. They make it very easy to get in contact with an agent. Maybe a little too easy because they put you on a list and follow up multiple times.
I like Redfin better because it shows a flood map of the property. But I think Zillow does a better job of managing saved searches and favorite properties. Redfin also sends me a bunch of emails whereas Zillow sends less emails. But overall, they are very similar so it might just come down to personal preferences.

Do you think Zillow delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Zillow's feature set?

Yes

Did Zillow live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Zillow go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Zillow again?

Yes

I used Zillow for the longest time and it worked okay. But then I started using Redfin and I like it much better. They are both very similar, but Redfin allows you to see the flood map across the whole property, which is important for me when considering spacial use of the property.
