  • E12: Breaking Down the Real Estate Portals: Zillow, Realtor.com, and Homes.com
    May 9 2025

    In this episode, we unpack the major real estate search portals and their impact on the industry. Jerry discusses the prevalent 'Zillow hate' among agents and explains why this sentiment is misguided. By exploring the evolution from traditional data-guarding methods to the current, more open and consumer-friendly systems, Jerry illustrates how sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Homes.com have revolutionized the way people search for homes and how agents advertise properties.

    Despite the technological advances, the value of real estate agents lies in their market knowledge and sales expertise, which remain irreplaceable by data alone. Jerry explores key features and differences among the three major portals to help both buyers and sellers make informed decisions when navigating the modern digital real estate market.
