Help for Real Estate Agents?

Zillow released a new API this week that allows users to sms/email an address to an email address at Zillow and get an immediate response on the value of a property. I tried it out with a few addresses, and it's not yet available in all parts of the country, but it works very well.

Real estate agents are catching on to this service, which may appeal to them more than RedFin. I think this could be a very cool new tool that will make real estate a lot more fun and will improve sales, and more importantly, value for home buyers.

Try a Zestimate today - just send the address like this:

124 AnyStreet
Anycity, AnyState 00000

to z@labs.zillow.com

See what you get. If nothing else, it's a lot of fun :)
