Renting is a common way to live, especially as the cost of owning a home increases. However, finding the right property can be complex and time-consuming. That’s why Zillow has introduced its instant tour booking feature for renters. This allows users to book an in-person tour directly at a suitable time without having to contact an agent or a property manager. This makes it easier for renters to find the perfect rental and explore it in person with someone who can answer any questions they may have.
As a renter, you can now book an appointment on the platform, just like you would with meeting bookings on Calendly. This will make scheduling visits to properties much easier and more convenient – no more waiting to hope that someone has time to show you around or asking property managers if they are available for tours.
Instant tours have become a popular way to explore new places. With so many rental properties offering this feature, some people may be hesitant to try it out. With Virtual Tours by Virtual Pathways, however, this should not be a problem. The company offers both in-person and self-guided tours which are easy to schedule and manage.
Zillow’s proposal to eliminate the role of agents would make it easier for renters to find properties they are interested in. By automating the process of scheduling viewings, Zillow is providing users with a more streamlined and convenient experience. This could encourage more renters to jump into the market, as 71% of consumers reported having up to four visits before making a rental decision.
The arrival of tours on Zillow’s rental platform will allow renters to explore different neighborhoods and find the perfect home before they even step foot inside. This innovation will make touring a major milestone in the rental process, making it easier for renters to find the perfect home.

In the fall of 2017, Zillow announced that they had laidoff 300 employees impacting teams like Zillow Offer advisors, sales and back-end staff at Zillow Home Loans and Zillow Closing Services. This came as a surprise to many, who speculated as to why such a large layoff would be necessary for the company. At the time, it was unclear what caused these layoffs but it seems likely that changes in the housing market had something to do with it.
