They have reached out to people through the power of social media and so far it has been quite successful. But with Zillow’s dedication to leading the industry helping people find homes, they have jumped into the mainstream media sphere… giving us their first-ever TV commercial.

Here is Fred Glick’s opinion that rebuts the recent pulling out of real estate brokers from Realtor.com, Trulia and Zillow:

What do you think?

Their stock went live on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol Z today, which “climbed to $43.21 at 11:26 a.m. New York time, after earlier surging to $60. Zillow had raised the price range on the IPO to $16 to $18 a share earlier this month, after initially proposing to sell at $12 to $14.” (source)

We have had the opportunity of being around the team at Zillow for quite a few years now. They have a fantastic culture with a very unique product for the real estate world.

David Gibbons, an ex-Zillow employee (who I’m sure is very happy with the IPO today) was kind enough to let Ubertor and Reachd.com run one of its training sessions in their offices in Seattle way back in 2008, where we brought Gary Vaynerchuk in to chat with the group. But even before that, we have attended events at the Zillow offices and even met up with a couple bloggers who were driving across the US on route to Inman Connect 2007 conference in San Francisco.

Congrats to Zillow.com on their big day!!

zillow 30Zillow, the controversial website that gives value estimates of people’s homes and other real estate info, has raised a significant $30 million of funding, despite the mortgage industry credit crunch.

The Seattle company has now raised a hefty $87 million in total funding during its short lifetime, making it one of the most richly backed of the new era of “Web 2.0″ Internet companies.

The round was led by Legg Mason Capital Management. Previous backers Benchmark Capital, Technology Crossover Ventures and PAR Capital all participated.

Opened in early 2005 by the founders of Expedia, Zillow started out as a portal for information about homes around the country. Over time, it has added on sales components for owners and real estate agents, and also provides a place for buyers to discuss or ask questions about a property.

Only last month, we reported that competitor site Redfin had landed $12 million in funding, led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Trulia, the other main player in the Web 2.0 real estate space, pulled in $10 million in May. Terabitz, started by a teenager, raised $10 million in July (our coverage).

Asked whether this most recent funding round has anything to do with the real estate slowdown, chief financial officer Spencer Rascoff told me that there was no relation. Rather, it had to do with the company’s focus on employing plenty of skilled developers and improving the site.
