Best Home Search App, by far

I’m in the real estate business (mortgage side), so I have a lot of experience using MLS-type services and apps, but they all leave a lot to be desired. Now that I’m looking for a new home myself, Zenlist has been an invaluable tool in my personal home search. Most people default to the Zillows/ Redfins of the world but fail to realize that those websites/ apps don’t show ALL the homes available on the market. Zenlist does. But by far the best feature of Zenlist is the ability to be able to view Private Market listings. This is huge for everyday people, as usually only real estate agents are the only people who have access to these listings. Quite frankly most agents don’t have time to show you each and every private listing on the market, and understandably so, so to be able to view these listings on your phone is huge. Really loving Zenlist so far, great interface and easy to use. Highly recommend!

Makes searching and collaborating a dream!!

This is way better than Redfin/Zillow because it not only has just as good a search system but even better because of the level of detail on the filters. It’s also got the fastest alerts. But honestly it’s the collaborative features that make it next level. Everything is in one place so it makes communicating with my agent way easier and saves everyone time. Highly recommend.

Most useful app in 2023 for Realtors and Clients

Zenlist is awesome. It allows me to connect my clients to a Private MLS activity. Unpublished anywhere else, I would normally have to check the MLS for each and every client daily to stay on top of it. With Zenlist, they get that info the moment it’s available. It’s also a dream to search with and the chat streamlines communication with my clients. Five stars!

Wish it was a bit more robust

It is a great tool to see some Private listings however you don’t see all of them - only the ones associated with relators paying for this app. I wish it was a little more robust of a search like Redfin/Zillow where you can search with different criteria without messing up your custom search. Search criteria is also very broad. In general, App just feels very basic. I do notice that it does shoot listings a few minutes before Redfin for whatever that’s worth! And in today’s market for a buyer, very much desired to be the first to know.

Decent. Map sometimes off. Picture handling slow

Seeing the private listings is nice and being able to use the app for tours and communicating with my realtor is really helpful. There’s a lot that’s pretty good. There are some odd things. Picture handling is slow especially when rotating the phone. It seems to lose the place of what picture it’s on for a bit. It eventually figures it out but if pictures of the property are oddly rotated, this can be a pain. I’ve seen places where the map is off when multiple properties are right next to each other. It does make clicking the property easier so just something to note when visiting the property. When viewing multi family properties, other apps have a section that list current leases that this app does not show.

Screen view

My only complaint about this app would be that on my iPad I can’t rotate my screen when I use my keyboard. So when I am looking at anything within the app it stays vertical. I would like for the app to rotate to a horizontal position when I have this on my keyboard attachment so it’s much easier to navigate. This will help prevent me from having to remove the tablet off of my keyboard to navigate the app.

Good app!

Our realtor shared this with us. Has been our primary app while house hunting. Good app for seeing the latest listings and overall easy to use. I like the option of the dollhouse view when viewing homes, and the virtual tour function works well also. My buddy’s realtor also uses the app. Seems to be popular among professionals.

Solid but needs tweaks

Overall, the app works really well and does a nice job mirroring the desktop information. The only complaint is that it doesn’t support an in-app map. When you try to see the surrounding area for context, it automatically reroutes you to Google Maps or Apple Maps. It would be better if they had an in-app experience and integrate a neutral map like HERE maps.

Condo Journey

I have been searching for a condo in Chicago for the past 1.5 years. Zenlist app list for been a great choice for keeping on top of what the market is offering. The private feature is my favorite and makes me feel like I am getting insider info on properties that people can’t see on other apps.

Nice but would love another feature.

We like the chat and notes that can be done within a listing. An amazing feature would be the ability to add properties to a separate last so one could plan a day of open houses and showings with our agent. Now it's a bit rough to scroll through our saved list and find the ones we are heading to in a given day.

Fix pet issue please

When looking through any options, it does not mention whether or not is pet friendly. Needs to be fixed because it can get confusing for my clients.

Emails are nice

Somehow I signed up for email notification and I get dozens of listing notices a day in all the areas I set up. It’s a little tricky figuring out how to refine your search and edit it but I seem to get it to work but not sure how it happened. The information shown with each listing is very nice. I especially like the street view option and the school listings.

Nice interface but buggy

This app is slick and has a very nice interface. That said, there are a couple bugs. For one, the filters frequently don’t work, especially with square footage and year built. Also, when you scroll down and hide a property, the view jumps up to listings you already scrolled past. This is very annoying when you’re trying to weed through listings.

Makes me enjoy working on buy sides again

Simple to grasp for agents and clients, intuitive interface, quickly save searches, add clients, and see what they have looked at, saved and showin interest in. I like the build a tour option. Really excited to see this develop.

Very good, some tweaks still remain

Unless something has changed the invitation process should work directly with your contacts on your phone or tablet. Also I should be able to use the app in landscape mode on my tablet. Other than those tweaks pretty solid app.

Way easier than other platforms

Really been enjoying zenlist. Good interface, easy to filter and see all the stats, take notes, and I love the mortgage calculator, demystified the process!

Very intuitive

The app is very easy to use, photo display runs smoothly. The ability to draw boundary on the map is helpful. Easy to save properties and share them with your realtor

Glitches

After saving a home while searching - and when returning back to the search it kicks me back to the beginning of the search - not saving my place. It’s really annoying and has been happening for over a year now with no fix

The best buyer search

This is the best search app available for both consumers and real estate agents to collaborate when searching for pre-list and active listings.

Apple calendar glitch

Hard to sort things into the “folders” as a buyer. Also, app glitches and shuts down when I use the feature to add events to my apple calendar

Great product

As a first time home buyer, the app has been invaluable to us and our realtor to stay on top of this incredibly difficult market. Please add the ability to calculate PMI when customizing your Mortgage Details

Incredibly glitchy

Imagine scrolling through hundreds of houses, then sporadically the app kicks you back to the beginning. This won’t once, this will happen repeatedly and in an unsuspecting fashion. Sound like torture? Good, because that’s what you sign up for by using this app. Realtors are glorified door openers, this app is the only value they bring… when it works.

Customized Tabs not able to close

1. When we search and save a particular area and it’s storing as a separate tab but when not needed there is no option to close that saved tab 2.

Multiple matches

With combining private and live MLS listings, I found myself almost overwhelmed with all the snatch results from just 2 clients. Hoping it will give us an advantage when it comes to bidding on the preferred property.

Neat tool

I love having access to exclusive listings and being able to focus my search. I’m not sure how my clients can directly open the link that I share of listings…?

It’s a extremely helpful app in finding a good home. Especially with me being a first time homebuyer.

You’ll see some homes you won’t see elsewhere, but too many listings are just of the exterior, which is annoying. Also, major facts like age of home, tend to be missing.

Crashing, unable to open

For two days the app crashes on opening. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not change behavior. No information on their website about system problems.

2 years ago, Lilypad33480

Unpleasant to use

The app is unpleasant to use. 1/3 of the screen and the bottom has a window that you can’t get out of plastered over the map as you search. So 1/3 of the map is obstructed by this useless window. Also forced portrait orientation.

Pretty good, but map interface needs work

Pretty good, but map interface needs work. Also picture scrolling and zooming can be wonky.
