Zillow Group announced Zillow Preview, a new product that brings pre-market home listings into the open by making them publicly visible on Zillow and Trulia. "For 20 years, Zillow has been guided by a simple idea: Real estate works best when information is open and accessible," said Zillow Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Wacksman. "No one should have to obligate themselves to an agent from a specific brokerage just to know the full breadth of inventory available. Zillow Preview shines a light on listings that might otherwise stay hidden, giving buyers open access to their options and sellers the broad exposure they deserve."
