Zip Realty is really a great place for agents, buyers and sellers

Hi all,

I am Now working with Zip Realty here in San Diego. It is a truly GREAT company.

For the Buyer it offers a really superior web site experience. While most real estate companies have listings from the mls, Zip goes further, having all sorts of info at the buyers fingertips without having to leave the site. Offer Evaluators, letting you know what other properties in the area have sold for compared to listed at in the last 1 month, 2 month, etc. This helps the buyer get a good feel for the market when they are looking around on the internet. Comps for sold properties, Driving directions from more than One location. Multiple ways to search for properties. Making appointments to see the properties right from the website, Initiating offers from the website. So many features, so much to see, yet all very easy to do, not overwhelming.

Then for sellers, Zip has such a LARGE database of buyers looking on their website. (For a company of only around 4000 agents, they have surpassed in number of people searching for homes the Re/Max website). New listings are alerted to buyers within that area and criteria. In addition, the commission structure is sweet, with the Seller getting Full Service, including virtual tours, open houses, MLS listings, and getting the property sold for a commission structure that is going to make it hard on the competition to top.

For Agents, with the wide amount of new people searching online, there are tons of leads coming in to the agents each month. Agents are given continous training, online university, Most, if not all, of your expenses taken care of by the company, and plenty of work to keep you busy. While Zip has only been around for 10 years, it is on the cutting edge of being a giant on the internet, and... is just now starting to focus more heavily on the listing side. In its earlier days, the main emphasis was on just buyers, but there is now a balance coming where both the buying and listing side are being emphasised. That's good news for agents, and clients.

Now everyone will see how good the agents of Zip are. (We set an industry high standard with a 95% approval rating of our agents from closed clients, versus the industry standard of around 75%

So, whether you are interested in Buying, Selling or you are an agent, checkout ZipRealty.com and play on the site a little and see if you don't agree, that there is nothing to compare to what Zip Realty has.
