Sellers, do you want your home to be used as the "First Date" between a home browser and an agent? 
Zillow has just announced that they are providing a "Touring Form" for agents in lieu of an agency agreement, which is what is specified by the settlement to the NAR lawsuit. This form states it is not an agency agreement which translates to using someone with a real estate license to unlock your door for a "Browser". This person is not vetted for requirements or qualifications to buy your home, but they want to tour your home with someone holding a real estate license and zero insurance without an agency agreement. 
WHY would Zillow do this? To preserve their revenue, they are an advertising platform to the Agents of the Real Estate industry. Without uninsured "Door Openers", down goes the revenue! Simple! It's always about Revenue! 
This lights my hair on fire and it is already red! &#128526; 
I'm a marketer and I must praise the marketer who made the statement in the announcement that "Browsers" need to meet agents and interview them first without an agreement that is being REQUIRED BY THE LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. Wake up consumers! 
Is this worth your time to use your home as a "First Date" to say hello and forego the process of vetting and qualifying? There is NO chance they are ready to write an offer on YOUR HOME - they are "BROWSERS" walking through your home. 
Zillow is trying to preserve advertising revenue to facilitate unskilled agents who cannot articulate a value proposition to short cut the process to placate "Browsers &amp; Criminals" to tour your home. They are unprepared to write an offer, plain and simple. 
A second point is that without the Agency Agreement specified as a requirement of the settlement, the agent's insurance is not in tact. Do you hire uninsured contractors to gut your kitchen &amp; move your plumbing? NO! So why would you allow the facilitation of Uninsured Agents to open your door to "Browsers &amp; Criminals"? 
Take a listen while I explain what's going on with the lawsuit and the requirement of an agency agreement, which means there is a vetted qualified "BUYER" touring your home with an licensed, insured agent who has been interviewed and hired to represent a buyer to tour homes. 
Take a Listen and let's talk about a professional strategy to earn top dollar for your home!&nbsp; <a href="https://bit.ly/RealEstateOfNVA-ZillowShortCut" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Zillow Short Cut Video</a>
