Zillow and Redfin partner to make apartment hunting easier and give listings more exposure

Agreement adds the Redfin sites to the Zillow Rentals Network, enhancing the rental search experience for renters while helping property marketers reach a broader audience

SEATTLE, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow® and Redfin today announced a partnership making Zillow the exclusive provider of multifamily rental listings (properties with 25 or more units) on Redfin and its sites, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com.

This partnership is expected to give renters access to a larger pool of available apartments by expanding the Zillow Rentals Network to include Redfin, Rent.com, and ApartmentGuide.com, alongside existing Zillow brands HotPads and Trulia, as well as Realtor.com, which was added as a partner in 2024. For multifamily properties advertising with Zillow, their listings will reach an even wider audience of renters across multiple platforms, increasing exposure and generating more leads, all through a single advertising solution.

"This Zillow partnership will give Redfin visitors access to one of the largest and fastest-growing databases of rental listings," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "We believe it will increase our overall traffic and the profits from our rental business, letting us focus on what we do best: dazzling online listing search, paired with dazzling brokerage, lending and title service."

"Renters want choices, and this partnership will deliver just that — more apartments available across more platforms," said Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman. "What's good for renters is good for our multifamily partners, too. This agreement will give them additional opportunities to connect with ready-to-move renters, helping them grow their businesses. Adding the Redfin sites to the Zillow Rentals Network helps us scale our impact and drive continued growth for our multifamily partners and our business."

With this partnership, renters searching on Zillow will gain access to even more apartment listings over time, creating a more comprehensive rental experience in one place. At the same time, all multifamily properties advertising with Zillow will syndicate directly to Redfin and its sites, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com, expanding their reach and connecting them with more lease-ready renters. Multifamily properties advertising on Redfin's websites today will have the opportunity to transition to Zillow so they too will be able to reach a wider audience. Zillow will begin syndicating multifamily rental listings to Redfin and its affiliated sites this spring.

Zillow continues to expand its multifamily rentals marketplace, with 50,000 properties advertising across its platform as of December 2024, up from 37,000 properties in December 2023.
