In an age where the internet is king it is only logical that more and more real estate agents and potential home owners are flocking to sites like Zillow and Trulia to help sell and buy new homes. A site like Zillow is incredibly helpful when it comes to listing a home and opening up the listing to far more people than traditional methods alone. These sites even offer smart phone applications which make them perfect for this day and age of real estate.

Sites like Zillow and Trulia offer a unique way to advertise homes without the standard ways limiting the potential to reach thousands more homebuyers. The market is thus far in the favor of the buyer and having a real estate agent that uses and understands a commonly used app like Zillow and Trulia is the best way to get the home that you want with as little difficulty as possible. In the past few years the real estate market has changed dramatically and more and more homeowners and buyers are going the process alone, finding their own listing, contacting agents and homeowners on their own, and taking care of paper work without the aid of an agent. Those agents that either have listings on sites like Trulia and Zillow or that are at least familiar with the system have a far greater likelihood of being contacted than those that do not. Using this type of application is the perfect way to reach customers that were previously unattainable.
