Yes, but Zillow and Trulia use the word "our agent" all over as well.
> Would you say that BestBuy is just like Google Shopping Search -- it puts you in touch with electonics sellers. But BestBuy tries to connect you with its own internal sellers?
Sure. You can buy a TV from bestbuy.com or amazon, or whatever comparison you want to make and from GSS. Two ways to the same means.
> Anyway, Zillow has no incentive to provide high quality data / shopping experience
I don't completely disagree, but it's incorrect that they have NO incentive. There are plenty of reasons to provide accurate data. There's a reason we spent 10s of millions at Zillow each year trying to get better data. It certainly matters.

If Zillow cared about getting quality data, they would've become/integrated a brokerage, as its the only way to get the most up-to-date real estate data. Redfin's data is much better because of this, and it shows.
