I recently bought a home and used the zillow marketplace to compare interest rates day-to-day so I could decide when to lock in the rate. That may not be it's intended purpose, but it worked so well. Thanks! **Aaron´s last blog post..Small Business Economic Bailout Plan

zillow is just getting too smart. but LOs are difficult to deal with and useually they can’t guarantee a rate until a property type is decided on

it is interesting…

LO's bid their best rate which is what is being done now at lending tree, LeadBull, CoreLeads and other sites.

Until they see your credit score, # of debt accounts, how long you've had them, etc..they will still bait and switch…

anonymous sounds good but the others first comers will still make hay. Borrowers don't want to have to log-in each hour and see 10 to 20 quotes..

With the others may only see 4 quotes.

You get what you pay for.

Might work for some new loan officers. But I suspect that a whole lot of lieing will be going on….. so the consumer will lose in the end.

WOW – seems like a hot topic!!! I like it as it's new and an attempt to help out consumers – one more tool is always good. I'm not to sure how long it's going to be a hit in the mortgage industry. It might end up being a lot of work for nothing…but only time will tell.

It'll be interesting to see how well this new venture goes. It's a little hard to give quotes based on information provided by consumers and not real credit facts.

[...] Response to Zillow’s launch has been fairly positive, though Joel Burslem asks whether the information the consumer receives may be too overwhelming (which just may be fitting in this RE 2.0 world): OK, so I submit a RFQ and the lenders can jump in and respond to me… but I get the sense there’s a lot of hungry lenders out there right now though. And I’m not sure I want to wade through the umpteen dozen responses I may possibly get; part of me is still wedded to the idea that I only want work with the best, most fair, most reputable lenders (is that naive?) – if I have to do too much work trying to figure out who that, is I might bail.
