Frustration often arises when deals stall due to disconnected systems. Waiting on lender updates, appraisals, or keeping clients informed can cost time, trust, and future referrals.

Zillow and Zillow Home Loans are tackling this challenge with a fully integrated experience for agents. At the 2025 Zillow Alpha Conference in Las Vegas, I spoke with Justin Case from Zillow Home Loans about how this system keeps everything connected, making transactions smoother and faster. Here’s why agents find it so helpful.

Integrated tools for efficiency. After more than 15 years with Zillow, I’ve seen the platform evolve significantly. Now, Zillow and Zillow Home Loans work together seamlessly, providing a single, connected path from start to close. Buyers can get pre-approved directly in the app, with updates synced between the agent, lender, and client.

“Trust grows when clients stay informed every step of the way.”

Benefits for agents. Over the last 12 to 18 months, Zillow has added tools for follow-ups, pre-qualifications, and client updates in one place. Zillow Home Loans offers a free appraisal and a 21-day closing, ordering the appraisal on day one of contract acceptance. This speed keeps deals moving and builds client confidence, letting agents focus on relationships and results.

Agent-focused design. Zillow’s app and follow-up systems are built with agents in mind. The technology is straightforward and efficient, reducing complexity and saving time. Agents gain connected tools that simplify communication, improve client satisfaction, and streamline the buying process.
