Hey all,

I joined Zillow recently and am considering paying to become the agent that shows up in my niche area. No one currently has the area so I could get all 4 zip codes. Another agent on my team says she gets about 3 leads a day from Zillow and she's a paying member with multiple zip codes. Does anyone else pay? What have your experiences been?

Thanks.

All sold out in my zip code. Just signed up for a portion on realtor.com so we will see how that goes. I was told Yahoo RE was available but not Zillow.

Oh cool. Well good luck. I still haven't done it. I'm surprised more people didn't reply to this... I know someone out there has done it........

I would like to know this too. I am trying Trulia now but barely getting any clicks but I don't have the PRO package which might make a difference. Realtor.com is awful when it comes to new agents trying to advertise. If an agent buys out a zip code, then he has a right to hold it as long as he wants(pays for it). As a new agent you have no chance to advertise in Realtor.com for the zip codes that are taken by big shots in the area.

You would think since we are paying dues, they would give new agents a chance to advertise too on their web site.

I've heard from multiple agents paying for Zillow premier agent that it is working. They are receiving high quality leads, and the ROI pays off.

Disclosure that i worked at zillow for 4 1/2 years.

I used Zillow for one year and did not convert the leads. The a lot of the data that Zillow has on it's site is old. House have already gone pending and they still show them active. They also have a lot of auctions listings that look like great deals to the consumer, but are a waste of time for the agent. IMO

Paid and did not get leads that I could convert. Zillow is not up dated.

thats a good option adam, hope you have avail it

Everyone I've talked to personally has been unhappy with it.

Sure, you have the success stories of a few people that think its good...but thats sort of like setting up your business model by playing the Lottery.

Your money is much better spent elsewhere in my opinion.
