We're proud to share that Zillow has been named one of the 2025 Best Workplaces in Real Estate by Fortune and Great Place To Work ! Our fourth year in a row! This recognition comes from employee feedback and reflects what makes Zillow unique: a mission-driven company where talented people are reimagining how real estate works. And no one can tell that story better than our people. Swipe through to see some of the reasons why our work matters — from simplifying real estate to helping more people get home. Together, we’re showing what’s possible when innovation meets purpose.
Last week our Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders teamed up with our Engagement & Belonging team for 3 powerful days of connection, collaboration and culture-building. At Zillow, we know that when people feel seen, supported and connected, they do their best work — and that’s exactly how we’re fueling a culture bold enough to change real estate. Highlights included: 🚀 Building strategies to power employee networks 🎤 Sharpening storytelling + leadership skills 🤝 Sharing tools to help careers thrive in Cloud HQ, Zillow’s distributed workplace 🌍 Doubling down on making Zillow a place where everyone can grow By helping shape Zillow culture, these leaders are also moving the industry forward.
For the 5th year in a row, our people have put Zillow on the PEOPLE Companies that Care® list. The honor belongs to the employees who drive impact, belonging and innovation every day. At a recent zRetreat - one of our Cloud HQ in person gatherings - we asked: “Why do you love working here?” Turns out there are too many reasons to fit into one video. Here’s a short version, in our colleagues’ own words.
What happens when more than 1,700 employees hit pause on their day jobs to dream up the future? Hack Week. Zillow’s annual innovation sprint. It’s a chance for employees across teams and time zones to design, build and test bold new ideas that help movers, agents and each other. And it’s just as much about building connections and culture as it is about moving ideas forward. Big thanks to everyone who made this year’s Hack Week possible.

What does belonging mean to you? These stories are a reminder that when employees feel seen, valued and supported, they do their best work. And we’re a stronger company because of it. If you want to find out more about Zillow’s inclusive culture, visit our careers page: www.zillow.com/careers
We’re not remote-first. We’re strategy-first. Cloud HQ is our intentional, distributed model that cuts out the politics of proximity and drives deeper connection and innovation across the company. Chief People Officer Dan Spaulding breaks down why it works: ➡️ We document and share our strategy clearly, so every employee knows how to operate within it. It’s baked into our culture. ➡️ We prioritize in-person time, too. Our annual zRetreats bring teams together to build trust and alignment. ➡️ And it’s working: Business results are strong and job applications quadrupled after we moved our headquarters to the cloud.

At Zillow, remote work isn’t just supported — it’s thoughtfully engineered for performance. With Cloud HQ, our distributed workforce model, we’ve reimagined collaboration to drive real impact. • Everyone has a seat at the table (or box on the Zoom screen) • We’re investing in tools that deliver faster answers, smarter decisions and AI-powered innovation • We come together in person when it matters most: planning cycles, Hack Week, and cross-functional zRetreats that spark bold ideas As Cynthia Taylor told Inc. Magazine, this approach has helped us grow the business — and the culture behind it. The business is consistently outperforming in residential revenue and 94% of employees say they’re proud to work here. That pride shows up in everything we build.
