Scout Upends Zillow; Connects Sellers, Buyers With Better Real Estate Agents

The site is making it easier than ever for consumers to get started with the real estate process, reports Scout.

New York, NY – October 21, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Scout, a real estate technology company providing buyers, sellers, and renters with data-driven insights into the performance of over 2 million real estate agents nationwide, announced a new brand identity today (the company was formerly known as Top Agents). Following a successful pilot program, Scout will continue to expand its free-to-use service to all major US cities.

“We want to empower clients to make critical decisions around the engagement of real estate service providers quickly, yet thoughtfully, based on the best data available,” said Drew Fabrikant, CEO, and founder of Scout. “Our new brand image reflects ease of use, as well as our core values – knowledge, transparency, reliability, and trust.”

Until this point, agent and broker performance has been hidden behind lead generation platforms like Zillow’s controversial Premier Agent, or peer review sites like Yelp, which make it difficult or confusing for consumers to find the right service providers. Scout takes a more objective and client-centric approach, matching a user’s criteria to local expertise, based on performance and relevance, rather than ad placements.

In addition, Scout also provides a secure and private messaging platform to address concerns regarding the increasing volume of cold calls, as municipalities regulate agent conduct to protect homeowners from unwanted, intense and repeated solicitations.

“Our mission at Scout is to help our clients feel more comfortable about starting the real estate process,” said Fabrikant. “We’ve seen too many people end up in nightmare scenarios, with half of their savings on the line, because they received poor real estate advice, and we’re helping to correct that.”
