CENTURY 21 Canada will send a direct listing feed to Zillow,
the leading real estate website in the U.S.
SEATTLE, June 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow®, the leading
real estate and rental marketplace in the U.S., announced today
that it will receive a direct listing feed from CENTURY 21
Canada.
Since most (79 percent) U.S. home buyers shop online for homes,
Zillow will drive exposure of Canadian real estate listings to the
millions of buyers who visit Zillow every monthi.
Zillow has relationships with thousands of brokerages and real
estate agents, and hundreds of MLSs in the U.S., offering them a
simple way to market listings to millions of home shoppers. Zillow
is expanding these efforts in Canada and expects to feature Canadian
listings, including those from CENTURY 21 Canada, on Zillow later
this year.
"We are thrilled to partner with CENTURY 21 Canada and help
drive more exposure to their listings," says Errol Samuelson, Zillow Group Chief Industry
Development Officer. "We also know U.S. buyers are interested in
purchasing Canadian real estate, so we're excited to offer the
millions of buyers already coming to Zillow for their home search
an easy way to see homes for sale in Canada and connect with an agent to help
navigate the sale."
"This agreement mirrors the partnership CENTURY 21 in
the United States has with
Zillow," says Jack Miller, Chief
Technology Officer at CENTURY 21 Canada. "We have a long history of
leading the way when it comes to technology and real estate
marketing. We are pleased to be the first company in Canada to secure a partnership with Zillow
Group—one that will no doubt benefit our sellers and our entire
network."
