SEATTLE, Oct. 16, 2018 — Zillow®, the leading real estate and rental marketplace in the U.S., announced today that it has started featuring Canada’s listings on Zillow’s mobile app and website.
Zillow has relationships with thousands of brokerages and hundreds of MLSs in the U.S., offering them a simple way to market listings to millions of home shoppers. Zillow is expanding these efforts into Canada.
