The Zillow app is absolute garbage, should be a lesson for PM on how not build an engaging app. All I’m trying to do is communicate with realtors and I can’t even access my messages on the app, so have to use use the mobile web. I also keep getting logged out an have to re-sign in every time I click a link. It’s also wild that there is know history of the places I requested a tour for. It’s crazy to think I was planning on interviewing there smh
Completely agree. I like Redfin much better but Zillow seems to have a lot more inventory so it’s a fucking torture.
Zillow’s data is less accurate than Redfin data
Zillow lags in keeping data updated and synced with MLS databases. Redfin is much better in that regard.
If they do LC still interview for the practice 🤷♂️
Facebook is worse
Meta apps are even worse.
Zillow is a work in progress, but certainly best in the RE services class. They have great PMs building solutions for the needs of their customers. Ironic a Meta PM judging Zillow… the mission at meta is great, but your products are just addictive garbage feeds with nearly zero meaningful social value. I’d argue that Facebook has caused more damage than good. And actually prevented meaningful local “communities” by keeping people engaged with low value content. Everyone heads down in their phones is not community or social.
It is definitely not the best. Inaccurate information, lack of sortation found on other sites, general bombardment to generate revenue (rea referrals), etc.
Overall it’s the best. For some segments, I’m sure there are better UI/UX designs. There’s certainly room for improvement on Z. Real Estate agents aren’t worth 6% anymore… not with the internet existing. It’s unfortunate that Zillow doesn’t have a better version of FSBO, they need to legitimize RE transactions without involving agents/salesman. They made a big mistake buying/flipping houses when they could have just made a self-service marketplace and taken a percent of each transaction.
Why are you communicating with realtors in the app? They link to realtors who want to represent you…it’s an ad platform for them. Your realtor should be reaching out directly.
I give them my contact info but some just reply on the app. I also get an email so it’s confusing where I should respond back (email or mobile app where I can use the messaging feature)
There’s also a link to the home in the reply email and most of the time when you click the link you’re directed to the mobile website, than to the login page and then it says the listing isn’t available…. So you have to look it up on Google 🫠
Zillow’s zestimate is the worst algorithm ever
this is so baseless lmao. it’s more accurate than eyeballing things, which is the way before Zest existed. and it gets constantly iterated on
I can definitely believe that talking to realtors through the app is a pain. That seems like an obscure feature. Just for browsing homes, the app is great.
Everytime I open the app I get fucked with emails the next day. So fucking annoying
i unsubscribed since that email spam is p killer
