Zillow Blog: Zillow.com is an online real estate service dedicated to helping you get an edge in real estate by providing you with valuable tools and information. In early 2005, Zillow founders Rich Barton and Lloyd Frink were fresh from the success of bringing travel to the Internet at Expedia.com. While brainstorming ideas for their next business venture, they were drawn to the idea of real estate. Both Rich and Lloyd were separately involved in buying houses, while jointly looking for new business opportunities. Lloyd spent hours finding information on the house he wanted, putting data into a spreadsheet, and doing complex calculations to determine a home's worth. The idea crossed his mind that someone shouldn't have to be a computer programmer to determine what a house is really worth. He figured he wasn't alone — there must be millions of people struggling with the same problem. Then the idea struck them: Why not help consumers by giving them access to the same kinds of information and tools agents use? Why not equip consumers with information about what is their most important investment — their home? So Zillow was born, with the goal of helping people make smarter real estate decisions.
