Editor’s note: A previous version of this story misstated the number of multiple listing services participating in the Zillow Partnership Platform. Zillow is not disclosing the number of participants.

Zillow will get listings directly from the 1,000-member Corpus Christi Association of Realtors, which has signed on to become the latest member of the Zillow Partnership Platform.

The Texas-based Realtor association joins the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR), Connecticut Multiple Listing Service (CTMLS), and Shrewsbury, Mass.-based MLS Property Information Network Inc. (MLSPIN) as members of the Zillow Partnership Platform. Like HAR, the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors operates the local MLS.

A Zillow spokeswoman said other MLSs are participating, but declined to disclose how many.

The Zillow Partnership Platform, announced last May, provides brokers and agents who belong to participating associations and MLSs with enhanced branding and other perks in exchange for direct listing feeds.

“We are very concerned about accuracy and freshness of our listings as they are displayed on public websites,” said Josh Ellington, director of MLS and technology at the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors in a statement. “We applaud Zillow’s efforts to increase accuracy by refreshing their database as often as every 15 minutes using the direct data feed from the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors.”

“The Zillow Partnership Platform strives to eliminate the confusion associated with stale data, lagging price changes and incorrect statuses,” said Bob Bemis, Zillow vice president of partner relations.

Listings fed to the Zillow program show up on the Zillow Real Estate Network, which includes Yahoo Homes, Google Now, and soon, HGTV’s FrontDoor.com

Unlike Realtor.com — which thanks to its ties to the National Association of Realtors gets listings directly from most of the nation’s MLSs — third-party portals get listing data from a variety of sources, including MLSs, brokers, agents and listing syndicators like ListHub and Point2. 

Zillow rival Trulia launched a program in 2011, in which MLS data takes precedence over other sources when discrepancies are found. Large MLSs providing Trulia with direct feeds include the HAR, MLSPIN, CTMLS, Midwest Real Estate Data LLC (MRED),  and Bay Area Real Estate Information Services Inc. (BAREIS) in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Trulia and Zillow launched programs last year that provide perks to brokerages providing direct feeds.

This week Zillow announced that Hunt Real Estate ERA is sending listings the firm represents in New York and Arizona directly to Zillow, bringing the number of firms participating in the “Zillow Pro for Brokers” program to 49.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Zephyr Real Estate just announced the debut of the Zephyr Real
Estate search app for Android. Following on the heels of the iPhone
app launch, Zephyr continues as the leader in technological acuity,
customer service and agent support. The new app is now available at
Amazon and Google.

With the new app, Android users can easily find all available
properties in San Francisco using Zephyr’s MLS-powered search. With
the GPS-enabled app, users can search for homes nearby, or enter
their own search parameters including searching by specific San
Francisco neighborhood, not just zip code. Full details on every
available property are accessible including a full-screen photo
viewer, full description and property features.

“Our marketing and technology team is committed to keeping our agents
well equipped and tech-forward in the marketplace,” commented Hud
Bixler, Zephyr’s Director of Technology. “New tools and services are
constantly under development, which is particularly critical in our
marketplace.”

Many additional features are obtainable by creating a free MyZephyr
account, such as accessing properties not listed on public websites,
getting details on pending and sold properties, receiving new listing
and price reduction email alerts, and the ability to create a custom
multi-property driving tour. All account information is fully
synchronized with website accounts, so saved information and searches
are easily accessed via app or on the web.

“Zephyr takes great pride in leading the pack by providing our agents
and clients with great service and all the resources necessary to
make their real estate experience not just positive, but enjoyable,”
commented Randall Kostick, Chief Operating Officer of Zephyr. “Our
team comes through once again.”
