Zillow
Find your way home.
Overview
While not a dedicated wholesaling tool, Zillow is an essential free resource for real estate wholesalers. It is primarily used for running informal comparable sales (comps) to estimate a property's After Repair Value (ARV). Wholesalers also use it to research neighborhoods, view property history, and identify 'For Sale By Owner' (FSBO) listings which can be potential leads.
✨ Key Features
- Property Search (For Sale, Sold)
- Zestimate (Home Value Estimate)
- Property Details & Price History
- For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Listings
- Rental Listings
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Vast brand recognition and user base
- Massive database of on-market and historical property data
- The 'Zestimate' is a widely known (though not always accurate) valuation tool
Unique Value: Provides free, instant access to a vast database of property information, sales history, and market data, making it an indispensable tool for quick research and preliminary deal analysis.
