Wish it was a bit more robust

It is a great tool to see some Private listings however you don’t see all of them - only the ones associated with relators paying for this app. I wish it was a little more robust of a search like Redfin/Zillow where you can search with different criteria without messing up your custom search. Search criteria is also very broad. In general, App just feels very basic. I do notice that it does shoot listings a few minutes before Redfin for whatever that’s worth! And in today’s market for a buyer, very much desired to be the first to know.

Response from developer

Hello there, The privates displayed here are not from paying realtors. It's free for brokerages to share their private on Zenlist, and our partners are opting in because they believe their clients should have full access to their inventory (private and public). Agents are paying for the service because they don't want you, the end user, to be the product like what happens on the main public portals. We don't capture leads, our only job is to provide you with a reliable platform to collaborate with your agent. Also, our search is more robust than Zillow/Redfin as we have ALL filters from the local MLS and not just a subset, you don't have to rely only on the search your agent has created for you. You can reach out to our support (support@zenlist.com) if you're having trouble with that! We'd be super happy to help.

Pretty good, but map interface needs work

Pretty good, but map interface needs work. Also picture scrolling and zooming can be wonky.

Can’t complain, but I will

Great concept. Keep working on the UI. Please consider adding an integrated map within each listing and making the filter clearer and more useful.

Best Home Search App, by far

I’m in the real estate business (mortgage side), so I have a lot of experience using MLS-type services and apps, but they all leave a lot to be desired. Now that I’m looking for a new home myself, Zenlist has been an invaluable tool in my personal home search. Most people default to the Zillows/ Redfins of the world but fail to realize that those websites/ apps don’t show ALL the homes available on the market. Zenlist does. But by far the best feature of Zenlist is the ability to be able to view Private Market listings. This is huge for everyday people, as usually only real estate agents are the only people who have access to these listings. Quite frankly most agents don’t have time to show you each and every private listing on the market, and understandably so, so to be able to view these listings on your phone is huge. Really loving Zenlist so far, great interface and easy to use. Highly recommend!

The best buyer search

This is the best search app available for both consumers and real estate agents to collaborate when searching for pre-list and active listings.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback and we're glad you have been enjoying the app aside from this issue! Please make sure your app is updated to the most recent version (2.4.4 currently) and set your app store to automatically update the app. We release new features every week so it's easy to get out of date if you don't have it set to automatically update :-) If the update doesn't resolve your issue, please email us directly at support@zenlist.com so we can further troubleshoot and resolve your issue.

Makes me enjoy working on buy sides again

Simple to grasp for agents and clients, intuitive interface, quickly save searches, add clients, and see what they have looked at, saved and showin interest in. I like the build a tour option. Really excited to see this develop.

Great tool for buyers

This company has been a joy to work with and give my buyers the competitive edge I need to compete in competitive Chicago market.

Love Zenlist

It’s so awesome to see all listings on one site - including off market listings - and super clean design. Makes searching for a home easy.
