Zillow Adds Mortgage Loans

thanks from Zillow

Spencer from Zillow here.

Dave,

Thank you for your thoughts on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. It’s off to a rip-roaring start in just the first few days. Borrowers are now in control of the process, for the first time ever. And lenders can now access free leads instead of paying a king’s ransom for the privilege of buying a phone number from a lead gen company. Clearly we’ve hit upon something very interesting.

Caitlin,

I think maybe you’re thinking of Lending Tree in your comment. You wrote “I used to work with a mortgage lead aggrigator [sic] and zillow.com produced the worst mortgage leads quality [sic]. I do know know [sic} why they would even try to get into the business.”

Zillow only entered the mortgages business last week, so I don’t think you can say that we had low quality leads.

used to work for a lead gen

I used to work with a mortgage lead aggrigator and zillow.com produced the worst mortgage leads quality. I do know know why they would even try to get into the business. If I was one of their lender partners, I'd be scared because although our company received more brand awareness, the leads generated from their site were crap, pure crap.
