SEATTLE, Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow,
Inc. (NASDAQ: Z), the leading real estate information and
home-related marketplace, today announced the popular Zillow® Pro
for Brokers program will be launching a new version in 2015: Zillow
Pro for Brokers Plus.
Brokerages that send Zillow their listings directly will be able
to take advantage of the new features, which are designed to
increase brokerage visibility and branding. The new features will
have a phased rollout throughout 2015.
"These new features enhance the brokerage branding on for-sale
listings as well as in our powerful directory," said Greg Schwartz, Zillow chief revenue officer.
"Brokerages will now have the ability to showcase their brands in
several new and prominent ways on every single one of their agents'
listings, while having complete transparency to the sites where
their listings appear."
New features in Zillow Pro for Brokers Plus include:
- Additional, high visibility brokerage branding on all
listings
- New, dedicated brokerage pages showcasing agents, agent
reviews, listings, a company video and agent recruiting tools
directly on Zillow
- Enhanced company information (including a company video)
directly on listings
Zillow Pro for Brokers Plus is free for brokerages and will
include all the original features of the initial program, including
Zillow's rigorous data transparency standards. A direct data
connection with Zillow ensures that brokers retain complete control
over their listing data, guarantees better listing accuracy and
that listings are never redistributed to unwanted sites. Listing
agents benefit from having their data sent directly to Zillow as
often as every 15 minutes. Listing agents will always be displayed
first next to their listings, and listings will include a brokerage
logo and outbound link to their websites.
