Homesnap makes my daily activities easier by having one less worry of updating my Google professional profile page. With the everyday stresses that come with being a REALTOR, we often forget to update our multiple lead-generating professional profile pages. Homesnap frequently reminds me to do my own post updates, amongst it doing some automatic post updates for me.
I used Zillow for the longest time and it worked okay. But then I started using Redfin and I like it much better. They are both very similar, but Redfin allows you to see the flood map across the whole property, which is important for me when considering spacial use of the property
It is very useable, I’ll give it that. Zillow has done a good job or making a clean and simple interface. They make it very easy to get in contact with an agent. Maybe a little too easy because they put you on a list and follow up multiple times
Anytime I have a question for Homesnap, I am able to contact customer support and, 99.9% of the time. get the answers I need right away. I have only had one issue that took more than a day, but the communication was great the entire time.
In Idaho we are a non-disclosure state, so the accuracy of the "big 3" is laughable. When I first speak to someone searching for a home on another platform I tell them four things. 1. Homesnap ties directly into the MLS-so accuracy matter 2. You will not have to worry about a home being in "pre-forclosure" and not being for sale 3. We can communicate directly from the app. 4. When you make a home a favorite, I can see it. This means even without talking, I can see what style you prefer the most.
I like Redfin better because it shows a flood map of the property. But I think Zillow does a better job of managing saved searches and favorite properties. Redfin also sends me a bunch of emails whereas Zillow sends less emails. But overall, they are very similar so it might just come down to personal preferences
