Is Zillow actually a helpful tool for first time homebuyers? Let's pull back the curtain on Zillow's deceptive business practices and reveals how they're more interested in profits than helping you find your dream home.

Quote: "Zillow is a wolf in a beautifully designed website sheep’s outfit, and if you fall for it, you could get eaten up."

Highlights:



  • Zillow's Dirty Little Secret: How do they really make money? (Hint: it's not from ads)
  • The Zestimate Scam: Why Zillow’s home valuations are wildly inaccurate and how they can cost you thousands
  • The New CEO’s “Profit Plan”: Zillow's latest scheme to squeeze even more money out of homebuyers and realtors

  • The How to Buy a Home Revolution: David Sidoni’s solution for navigating the rigged real estate system and finding your unicorn support team
