Zillow is great overall
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use it for searching for potential properties for my glamping business that meet my listing criteria. I have saved searches and saved properties that I follow and track. I once used their contact form to get in touch with a realtor directly to arrange a property viewing. But that also put me on a list where the realtor called me many times after that.
Pros
- Save searches
- Manage favorite properties
- Clean interface
Cons
- Map view and flood plain views
- Zoomed out / nation-wide map view
- Automatically Showing listings in a general area, rather than the specific city boarder
Return on Investment
- Streamlined search process
- Tracking favorites properties over time
- Assessing market value of similar properties in the area
