Great news spreads like wildfire. Fortunately for HomeZill, gossip has been spreading rapidly through Northern Virginia real estate. Not only are first time home buyers using the website to search for homes, but other real estate agents are using the site to search homes for even THEIR clients. We were recently contacted by a Realtor from a pretty large brokerage who wanted to commend us on putting together such a great home search- which he uses almost everyday for HIS clients. Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was to think–why is he using our site instead of the MLS?. I then thought to myself–go ahead and use our site, because eventually the word will spread and buyers will realize that they can search homes themselves… and after browsing through the site, they will see the value in using a HomeZill Re/Max agent.

One of my clients asked me the other day, “Why are people who want to buy right now holding back?” My response to that was, “They’re unaware about the current buyer’s market.” I cannot stress enough the fact that there is SO MUCH inventory on the market and many sellers and builders are really flexible on their prices. At HomeZill, we find the best deals (including foreclosures and short sales) and have negotiated the best prices for our clients. Not only do our home buyers get a great deal after we negotiate, but we also rebate them up to 2% cash back of the home price. On average, our clients are receiving a $10,000 Realtor commission rebate to use however their lender allows them to!

If you think our home search is great now, just wait and see what’s in store! Through our feedback tool, we’ve been getting a lot of great ideas for additional features on HomeZill.com from HomeZill’ers like you! Some FRESH features will soon be added to make the home search even better… Get ready for some monumental implementations!
