COLORADO SPRINGS and
FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting
today, home sellers in Colorado
Springs and Fort Collins,
Colo., can use Zillow Offers to request a cash offer
from Zillow to buy their home. These two Front Range markets are
new satellite markets of the existing Zillow Offers Denver
operations, which first opened in October
2018.
These new markets leverage the existing staff, infrastructure
and broker partnerships from the Denver hub, allowing thousands more homeowners
the option to sell their homes on their timeline through the
popular Zillow Offers program without the expense of establishing a
regional hub market.
"Adding Colorado Springs
and Fort Collins allows us to
accelerate Zillow Offers and bring this rapidly growing service to
more communities faster with greater efficiency," said Zillow Brand
President Jeremy Wacksman. "We've
seen tremendous demand for Zillow Offers in Denver and we're delighted to build on this
foundation to introduce the convenience to homeowners throughout
the Front Range."
The addition of the Colorado
Springs and Fort Collins
satellite markets brings the total number of markets where Zillow
Offers is currently available to 14, including Phoenix, Las
Vegas, Atlanta,
Denver (hub), Charlotte, Raleigh, Houston, Riverside, Dallas, Minneapolis, Orlando, and Portland. Zillow also has announced plans to
launch in Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Sacramento, San
Antonio, San Diego, and
Tampa. Colorado Springs and Fort Collins are incremental to the 20 markets
the company previously announced it plans Zillow Offers to operate
in by the end of the first quarter 2020.
Zillow Offers is transforming the way people sell their homes
across the country, offering less hassle and more certainty.
Through the program, Zillow directly buys a house, prepares it for
showings, and then quickly lists it for sale. Additionally,
consumers using Zillow Offers – whether they are selling to or
buying from Zillow – can experience an even simpler real estate
transaction if they decide to get financing from Zillow's affiliate
lender, Zillow Home Loans.
In each market where Zillow Offers operates, Zillow works with
local agents and brokers on every transaction. Zillow pays a
commission to local real estate agents when it buys and sells a
home, and agents remain at the center of every Zillow Offers
transaction. A local broker will represent Zillow in each
transaction.
As of May, more than 100,000 homeowners across the country have
requested a no-obligation cash offer from Zillow to buy their home
- equal to a request for an offer every two minutes.
