Its a big day for the team at Zillow.com today. Their stock went live on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol Z today, which “climbed to $43.21 at 11:26 a.m. New York time, after earlier surging to $60. Zillow had raised the price range on the IPO to $16 to $18 a share earlier this month, after initially proposing to sell at $12 to $14.” (source)
We have had the opportunity of being around the team at Zillow for quite a few years now. They have a fantastic culture with a very unique product for the real estate world.
David Gibbons, an ex-Zillow employee (who I’m sure is very happy with the IPO today) was kind enough to let Ubertor and Reachd.com run one of its training sessions in their offices in Seattle way back in 2008, where we brought Gary Vaynerchuk in to chat with the group. But even before that, we have attended events at the Zillow offices and even met up with a couple bloggers who were driving across the US on route to Inman Connect 2007 conference in San Francisco.
Congrats to Zillow.com on their big day!!
