Time to build our own site to compete with Zillow

People are drifted a long way from their activities of reading newspaper real estate sections or go directly to the location of the houses. Now, as mobile phones became popular, all the information required are in their pocket.

 

Online real estate company Zillow directs the client referrals to the agents and brokers from their database. It sends client referrals to brokers or agents who are willing to pay them a higher commission percentage.

 

It primarily focuses on helping homeowners, buyers, sellers, renters, real estate agents, mortgage professionals, landlords, and property managers by sharing all the required information about homes, real estate and mortgages.

 

To start an effective real estate business a Zillow clone website has to be built. Properties need to be categorized on various segments that contain information about the properties to enable visitors to take the right decisions.

 

For sale: The visitors on portal can find properties for sale by filtering them on various parameters such as owner, agent, newly constructed and foreclosure.

 

Potential Listings: This includes a list of properties that can be made available for purchase in the future. The type of properties under the listing category includes:

 

Foreclosed: -  Property went for foreclosure auction after the owner failed to pay the mortgage.

 

Pre-foreclosure: - Property repossessed as owner's inability to pay outstanding mortgage obligation.

 

Make Me Move: - Properties enlisted by owners to test the market and gauge potential interest, without officially listing the property for sale.

 

For Rent: This includes rental buildings and apartments for rent across the selected location. Also, it should enable landlords to accept applications and rent payments through the website.

 

A real estate business success can be accounted to its massive properties database and network of realtors that it built through the website containing the above categories.
