I wanted to reblog this because I think this might have snuck in under the radar screen for most agents. We use Postlets for our new listings and this gives us even more reason to post them in the path of Zillow who claims between 11-18 million visitors per month to their site ! Thanks Nick.

Hot off the press, according to my insider source - actually it was posted but who is to say I am not as important as I think I am.
The ever expanding property search and valuation site Zillow just purchased Postlets, Inc. - a virtual flyer real estate that realtors use to showcase a listing which gives the listing syndication to various real estate websites.
According to Zillow, Postlets has over 500,000 registered users with over 350,000 real estate sales and rental listings in syndication.
Zillow says that it has no plans at this time to make any changes to the Postlet site, according to Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff.
Zillow, I find, gives you a unique tool in getting recommendations from previous clients. You can see an example on my Zillow Profile.
Postlets is a tool that I use everyday to promote My Listings - so I look forward to seeing the changes that I am sure Zillow and Postlets are planning for the future.
6 Comments on Zillow Acquires Postlets
It will be interesting to see how long they will leave the free postlets alone....
I believe this happened some time in the last few weeks, I am curious to see if they leave it alone or make changes
I think this is great. I just started using Postlets and love them. I do hope they leave the free service alone, it is such an asset to new agents with limited income.
Postlets.com is a great SEO tool I use to get Google ranking for all of my clients !!!
Hey Michael - It has been fun getting to know the team of two who ran Postlets and now are Zillow employees.
I wanted to let you know about a cool feature we announced today on Zillow that happen because of the acquisition. Now you can easily use your listing on Zillow to generate Craigslist code - and then just cut and paste it on Craigslist. Here is a blog post explaining how. We are working with Postlets to keep tools like this coming, so stay tuned!
