Zillow Property Managers Scraper

How it works

This actor allows you to scrape property manager profiles from Zillow.com and extract important details such as manager name, reviews, contact information, and other relevant data. The scraper is designed to help you gather comprehensive data on property managers, which can be useful for property research, contacting managers, or analyzing their performance.

Features

Multiple Search Queries: Supports scraping based on multiple start URLs (just copy and paste the link/url from Zillow.com site), formatted as:

• https://www.zillow.com/professionals/property-manager-reviews/90045

How to Use

1. Set Up: Ensure you have an Apify account and access to the Apify platform.
2. Configure Proxy Settings: (Optional) For enhanced reliability, configure proxy settings, as Zillow employs anti-scraping measures.
3. Provide Start URLs: Copy the link of the property manager listings from Zillow.com and paste it into the scraper. Make sure the URLs point to property manager listing pages.
4. Run the Scraper: Execute the scraper and obtain the extracted data in your preferred format, such as JSON, CSV, Excel, or others as supported by Apify.

Besides having a darling apartment, the staff (both office and maintenance) are a pleasure to deal with. The people at the office are super friendly and they know us by name. And they give us homemade cookies and chocolate when we bring our rent into the office!! The maintenance guys are warm and welcoming and are quick to respond when we have something that needs to be fixed. The gardener keeps the grounds looking immaculate! . Long Beach Investments is a great place to rent from and I would highly recommend it!",
