Zillow Offers to launch in Denver this fall

Zillow has launched a new program designed to give homeowners another option when selling their house.  Zillow Offers will allow homeowners to ask Zillow to make a cash offer on their home.  Within two days of receiving a request from a seller, Zillow will make a no-obligation cash offer or it will say pass. If an offer is made and accepted, Zillow will buy the home, prepare it for sale and then list the property. The timing of the transaction is at the discretion of the seller.

Amanda Woolley, a spokeswoman for Zillow, said the Seattle-based company has purchased dozens of homes in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Some of those homes are close to being resold.  Zillow Offers is available in Phoenix and Las Vegas and is rolling out in Atlanta. Denver will be the fourth city added.
