Continuing evidence that the world constantly changes. In some organizations, the "procedure" book should be written in chalk not even pencil. Definitely not pen and no way should it ever be sent out for publishing. Upon arrival from the printer, it's likely no longer relevant.

Well it doesn't surprise me. I just looked it up and their stock has gone up slightly. Here's what they said In a video that went out Wednesday ' Zillow maintained that it did not want to push out local agents or to recruit agents from other brokers. Instead, Zillow will ask current employees who work on Zillow Offers to get licensed. Wacksman said' we will push to keep the real estate industry moving forward, and adapt to changing consumer preferences and virtual technologies.
We'll see where it all goes. Always something.....

And it sounds like these licensed agents will be employees, that means no commission structure, I presume.

Of course we can trust they willnot 'cherry pick' leads current agents are paying for.
Think about Zdevils offer, "Agent you pay for NO advertising, don't leave your desk, have scheduled hours and gauranteed 10 closings a month after 2 months."
Most 'survival' agents will find Zdevils sweet words more profitable.

Kathleen,
Their bottom line must be hurting, and their major stockholders must be screaming...this is just one of their many ideas that will probably go nowhere! And then they will come up with another when the next quarter report comes up! Thank you for the heads up...we know where their heads are at! A

I've said it from day one that this would happen. They would form their own agency. Mark my words that they will soon having their own agents in the four that you contact when curious about a home... then eventually they will be a block on top of the local agents as the "Zillow Preferred Agent" (or something to that effect) and eventually they will replace the agents completely. And yet agents and Brokers will still whine about "exposure" and "but clients want it on zillow" and their precious "leads" all the while feeding the beast that will put them out of business.

Inman had an article on it but I did not get past the fold. Essentially, they will be servicing that section of the market where people had homes in poor condition and are willing to take a cash offer to get away from that house. Z then will have to improve the home, then sell if for their costs plus something. Good luck.

No Surprise Here!!! Redfin did the exact same thing. They use and abuse us agents to develop their mark and then they step all over these same agents.

I suspect that Zillow has found out that the margins in the iBuyer business are not adequate in their current model and so they have decided to use in-house, employee, agents rather than pay people like you and me.

oh yes I heard. And agents funded it. Funded the new competition. I am delighted I'm out here in the boonies where it will take them years to care about and I can retire before I ever need to co-broke a deal with the brokerage that lied and built itself on the backs of its competition.
