Connecticut MLS Sends Listings to Zillow
Connecticut listings will appear across the largest real estate network on the Web and most popular platform of mobile real estate apps
SEATTLE, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow, Inc. (NASDAQ: Z), the leading real estate information marketplace, today announced a partnership with the Connecticut Multiple Listing Service (http://www.ctreal.com), whereby CT MLS listings will appear on the Yahoo!-Zillow® Real Estate Network and across Zillow's popular platform of mobile apps. According to comScore® Media Metrix, the Yahoo!-Zillow Real Estate Network is the largest real estate network on the Web, and the most-visited real estate entity in Hartford and New Haven, Conn.[i]
"We're doing what's right for CT MLS agents, home sellers and home shoppers by providing accurate listing data to a well-known, respected, high-traffic real estate portal," said Cameron Paine, CT MLSs chief executive officer.
"This is great news for agents, consumers and the Connecticut MLS as it offers a definitive set of pristine data on Zillow and assures that listings will be seen by hundreds of thousands of local home shoppers, within a legal framework which protects the interests of the MLS, brokers, agents and home sellers," said Greg Schwartz, Zillow's chief revenue officer.
The partnership will provide certain protections to CT MLS: CT MLS listings will be displayed only on the Yahoo!-Zillow Real Estate Network, the listings will take priority over listings from other data sources unless a broker provides their listings to Zillow in a direct feed and the listings will be updated multiple times each day to ensure accuracy of listings data.
