Zillow Brings Its Postlets Service For Landlords To Mobile
Summary
For most people, Zillow is synonymous with online real estate listings, but the company has recently focused quite a bit on rentals as well. Just like Zillow’s regular web-based Postlets service, the new mobile app allows its users to create listings and manage them on the fly. These include all of Zillow’s own sites, as well as services like HotPads, Yahoo Homes, Zumper and – as of earlier this month – AOL Real Estate (TechCrunch is owned by AOL). All of this, Zillow says, is meant to help property managers to “quickly create, distribute and manage their rental listings on the go, and eliminates the cumbersome trudge back to the office desktop.” Zillow acquired Postlets back in early 2011 and kept the brand alive ever since. Going forward, Postlets will remain Zillow’s service for landlords who manage the rentals of a small portfolio of houses, while Zillow Rentals Pro will remain aimed at companies that manage apartment complexes.
