Listen "Why Zillow Isn’t Your Best Home Buying Tool | Ask Chris Phillips - Real Estate Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
Zillow might be popular, but it’s not built for buyers or sellers.
In this episode, Chris Phillips explains why Zillow (and similar platforms) often show outdated or inaccurate listings, and how their business model is designed to sell your data to real estate agents, not serve your home search.
Chris shares real-world examples of clients relying on Zillow and finding homes that were already under contract or sold weeks ago. He also clears up the truth behind “Zestimates” and breaks down how platforms like RealTracs offer up-to-date, accurate information straight from the MLS.
Highlights:
Why Zillow listings are often out-of-date or misleading
What a Zestimate really is and why it’s often wrong
Where to get reliable, real-time listing info in Middle Tennessee
🎙️ Podcast Quote: "Zillow doesn't walk through your house. Agents do."
