Zillow Overview
Zillow is a website started in early 2005 by Rich Barton and Lloyd Frink focused on providing free home valuations called Zestimates. "Zestimates" are home valuations computed using their proprietary formula. Around their Zestimates service, Zillow has built a marketplace for home buyers and sellers to list their homes.

Used it to buy and sell homes as an investor. Was about 90% accurate. Better than any others |
