NextHome inks agreement to align with Zillow's
listing access standards
SEATTLE, April 11,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NextHome is the most recent
company to join Zillow in its pro-consumer commitment to listing
transparency and committing to ensure the largest possible audience
of buyers can see its listings. Zillow this week introduced new
standards for listing access, which are designed to ensure both
consumers and agents have equitable, timely access to real estate
information — supporting and protecting a more open and competitive
housing market.
"Partnering with Zillow to commit to listing transparency is
simply the right thing to do for homebuyers and sellers across
America. Prioritizing humans over houses is a core value at
NextHome because it builds trust and fosters a more informed and
confident client base which we believe puts our agents in a
position to win," said James
Dwiggins, co-CEO of NextHome. "Through this partnership we
are setting a new standard in the industry."
Zillow's listing standards outline how it is implementing the
National Association of Realtors Clear Cooperation policy on its
platform. Namely, a listing publicly marketed to any buyer
must be in the MLS within one day and published on Zillow as well
as other sites that receive MLS feeds. Listings that don't meet
these standards won't be published on Zillow or Trulia for the life
of the listing.
"NextHome has long been a champion of listing transparency and
we're pleased they're committing to keeping the industry focused on
the future alongside Zillow. It's simple: a listing publicly
marketed to any buyer should be marketed to all buyers. Hidden
listings harm buyers, sellers and agents by creating an unfair
market," said Errol Samuelson, chief
industry development officer at Zillow. "Promoting equal and fair
access to all available listings is the right thing to do for
sellers, buyers, agents - and the industry at large. Zillow is
dedicated to putting consumers first and ensuring a fair and open
marketplace for all. Those who deliver for consumers will succeed,
not the companies putting their own interests ahead of the needs of
home buyers and sellers."
NextHome has 600 offices and 6,000 agents nationwide and has
been named to the Inc 5000 and Entrepreneur 500 franchise lists.
NextHome joins eXp in a growing group of real estate industry
partners calling for transparent practices prioritizing access for
all consumers and agents.
