SEATTLE, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Zillow®, the leading real estate and rental
marketplace in the U.S., announced today that as part of an
expanded marketing agreement, Realty Executives International will
send listings from their Canadian franchises to Zillow's mobile app
and website.
Zillow receives more than 100 million visits from non-U.S.
audiences a year, with a large share from Canadai, and Realty Executives
International's listings will soon benefit from that global
exposure.
Listings from several leading Canadian brokerages will soon be
live on Zillow. Each Canadian listing will include a description
and photos of the property, and will prominently feature the
listing agent – with contact information – as well as a link to the
brokerage or franchise website.
"In the U.S., our industry partners have seen Zillow become a
key part of driving maximum exposure for their listings," said
Errol Samuelson, Zillow Group Chief
Industry Development Officer. "It's exciting to us that Realty
Executives International will be able to extend this benefit to
their Canadian teams."
"Realty Executives has always valued providing an optimal real
estate search experience on our proprietary sites; therefore,
partnering with Zillow, who shares the same consumer-centric
perspective, was a natural fit," said David
Tedesco, CEO of Realty Executives International. "Our
partnership with Zillow will change the way consumers search for
properties in Canada, making it
easier for Canadian consumers to search for homes in the U.S. and
Canada, as well as U.S. buyers to
search for properties in Canada."
