Since August 2024, you must sign an agent agreement before touring homes — locking in what you'll pay your agent. If the seller offers less, you could owe the difference out of pocket. Zillow still hides this number. We show it on every listing, before you click, before you tour, before you fall in love with the house.

These aren't complaints. They're documented, sourced, and costing buyers real money. Here's what you should know before you start your search.
Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com don't show you what the seller is offering the buyer's agent. You find out after you've toured, after you've fallen in love, after you've signed a buyer rep agreement locking you in. GOZ shows it before any of that.
A federal class-action (Hagens Berman, 2024) alleges Zillow's Premier Agent program steers buyers toward Zillow Home Loans — creating a financial incentive for agents to push a specific lender over a better deal for you. GOZ has no mortgage arm. No referral bonuses. No conflict of interest.
The FTC sued Zillow and Redfin in 2025 for allegedly coordinating to suppress competition in rental advertising. RICO claims are being explored in separate litigation. The largest real estate platforms are under more legal pressure than at any point in their history.
Zillow's Premier Agent lets agents pay to appear in your ZIP code. When you click "contact agent," your info goes to whoever won that auction — not necessarily the most experienced, available, or appropriate agent for your situation. GOZ shows agents directly. No auction. No middleman.
Zillow removed wildfire and flood risk data from listings in 2024 after sellers complained it hurt home values. They chose seller revenue over your ability to make an informed decision about the biggest purchase of your life. We don't remove inconvenient data.
Your search history, your home preferences, your financial signals, and your contact info are monetized — sold to advertisers, lenders, and data brokers. Our only revenue is a technology marketing fee when a deal closes. Your data is not ours to sell.
Every listing shows what the seller is offering — before you call, before you tour, before you fall in love. Free to search. Free to contact. Make an offer directly through the platform.
Browse by city, ZIP, or neighborhood. No sign-up required. Every listing shows price, commission rate, specs, and the agent's direct contact info — before you click anything.
Since August 2024, you must sign a buyer rep agreement before touring — locking in commission before you know if you like the house. GOZ shows what the seller is offering before any of that happens. Know your exposure first.
Your message goes to that one agent — their real phone and email. No lead auction, no competing calls. No lender-referred agent optimizing for someone else's deal. You pick who you talk to.
Before August 2024, you could tour homes and then decide whether to use a buyer's agent. Now you must sign a buyer representation agreement before touring — locking in what you'll pay your agent upfront. If the seller is only offering 2% and you agreed to 3%, you may owe the 1% difference at closing. On a $400,000 home, that's $4,000 out of your pocket — and most platforms still don't show you what each seller is offering before you commit. GOZ does. That's not a feature. That's the whole point.
Principal, interest, estimated taxes, and insurance — not just the teaser P&I number. No spam, no rate-shopping emails, no lender calls. We don't have a lender to push you toward.
Estimates only. Not financial advice.
Every commission, every listing, before you tour. Free for buyers. Always.
