Getting To The Top Of The Directory On Zillow

Via Sara Bonert {Real Estate Internet Marketing} (Zillow):

This question came in from Karen Alterson a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Surf in Rockville Centre, NY. As it is a pretty common question, I thought I'd answer it on my blog, so multiple people can benefit from the answer.

Dear Zillow,

How do I get my name on the list of Realtors? And how do you get to the top???

Karen,

First of all, to get on the list, you simply have to create a free profile. All profiles are included in the Directory. To make sure you come up appropriately, make sure you completely fill out the fields like areas you specialize in and your marketing text. In the upper right hand corner, you'll see the Register button.

Creating a free profile

With regards to sort, helpfulness and contributions to the site are big factors in determining the order.

Each listing and photo you add to the site are considered contributions. Also, in case you don't have listings, answering questions in our advice section are contributions. Also, once you contribute enough advice, you can be considered a Local Expert or All Star. You can sign up to receive emails whenever there is a question in your area to answer.

Hope that helps!

Understanding the Internet Buyer (NAR Convention Speech)

Here is my presentation from the NAR Convention in San Diego, "Understanding the Internet Buyer". If you ever want me or someone from Zillow to present to agents in your office (in person or via webinar), please let me know.

Here's the video. It seems to crash the Firefox browser when I embed the video, so you'll have to watch it over on ustream.

Finding Zillow at the NAR Convention

The NAR Convention in San Diego is more than halfway over, and our delegation of Zillowites has several thousand agents in just the last 2 days. If you are here and you haven't met one of us, here's where you can find us....

- Several of us are at Booth 3115 today, all day. Come by and pick up the best gift at the whole show -- Zillow hand sanitizer spray. And the show special -- 30% off Showcase Ads if you book today.

- Sara Bonert is on a panel with luminaries Rob Hahn, Eric Bryn, Jim Marks and Darrin Clement at 1:30pm today (Sunday) called "Going Beyond Listing Data". Room 6A.

- I'm giving a speech tomorrow morning (Monday) at 9am called "Understanding the Internet Buyer" wherein I'll share the secrets of how agents can bag these slippery fish. Room 25A.

And of course you can always find us on twitter.
