Competing With Real Estate Investors...Zillow Instant Offer

Greg Hague, "The Real Estate Maverick," has been quite vocal this last few weeks about Zillow Instant Offer. Here are snippets of his recent email detailing his phone call with a Zillow exec. As a Real Estate Investor, be aware of the competition entering the market and learn what you can do now!

"Yesterday I had an hour-long call with one of Zillow’s top executives. He emailed me the night before and asked to talk...and scared the pants off me during the call. Naturally, he tried to convince me to stop our Stop Zillow crusade. We agreed to disagree.

During the call, I realized what Instant Offers is REALLY about. It's designed to capture home sellers before we do… and direct them Zillow's way. Every home seller who inquires about an Instant Offer receives a CMA from a Zillow "pay to play" agent.

Make no mistake, it became crystal clear to me in the call...Zillow is determined to gain total control of our customer flow, to capture and redirect every home buyer and seller in America away from us, and then distribute them to Realtors who pay (and play) Zillow’s way.

If we allow Zillow to gain control of our customers WE ARE TOAST.

P.S.- Some ask why I’m doing this. Fair question. My dad was a Realtor. This is personal. The thing I want most is for my dad (looking down) to be proud; and for my 34-year-old son to have a future in real estate… not beholden to Zillow."
