Zillow Agent Scraper

Scrape real estate agent profiles from Zillow's agent directory. Extract comprehensive agent data including names, brokerages, phone numbers, emails, websites, ratings, reviews, sales history, active listings, specialties, and service areas for any US location.

What does Zillow Agent Scraper do?

This actor crawls the Zillow agent directory for a specified US location and extracts detailed real estate agent profiles. It uses four extraction strategies (NEXT_DATA, JSON-LD, DOM parsing, and meta tags) to reliably extract data even when Zillow changes their page structure.

Use Cases

Recruit Top-Performing Agents

Build targeted recruitment lists by filtering agents by location, sales volume, and ratings. Identify the most productive agents in any market for brokerage recruiting campaigns.

Analyze Local Real Estate Markets

Understand the competitive landscape by examining agent density, specializations, average ratings, and transaction volumes in specific markets. Track how many agents serve a given area and what niches they focus on.

Real Estate Lead Generation

Build prospect lists for real estate service providers: mortgage lenders, title companies, home inspectors, photographers, and marketing agencies. Target agents based on their activity levels and specialties.

Competitive Intelligence

Monitor competitor brokerages by tracking their agents, sales performance, and market presence. Identify top producers moving between brokerages.

Agent Directory & Comparison

Build agent comparison tools, directories, or recommendation engines using structured agent data. Create "best agents in [city]" content powered by real data.

    print(f"  Sales: {item.get('salesCount', 'N/A')} | Listings: {item.get('listingsCount', 'N/A')}")
    print()

Usage with JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const input = {
    location: 'Miami, FL',
    maxResults: 100,
    includeReviews: true,
    proxyConfiguration: {
        useApifyProxy: true,
        apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'],
    },
};

const run = await client.actor('sovereigntaylor/zillow-agent-scraper').call(input);

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

for (const agent of items) {
    console.log(`${agent.agentName} (${agent.brokerageName})`);
    console.log(`  Phone: ${agent.phone || 'N/A'}`);
    console.log(`  Rating: ${agent.rating || 'N/A'} (${agent.reviewCount || 0} reviews)`);
    console.log(`  Sales: ${agent.salesCount || 'N/A'} | Listings: ${agent.listingsCount || 'N/A'}`);

    if (agent.recentSales?.length > 0) {
        console.log(`  Recent sales: ${agent.recentSales.length}`);
    }
    if (agent.activeListings?.length > 0) {
        console.log(`  Active listings: ${agent.activeListings.length}`);
    }
}

Tips for Best Results

1. Use residential proxies -- Zillow has strong anti-bot protection. Residential proxies from the RESIDENTIAL group are strongly recommended for reliable results.

2. Start with smaller batches -- Test with maxResults: 20 first to verify the location works, then scale up.

3. Location format matters -- Use "City, ST" format (e.g., "New York, NY") or a 5-digit ZIP code for best results.

4. Reviews increase cost -- Enabling includeReviews visits each agent's profile page individually, which significantly increases run time and compute costs.

5. Off-peak hours -- Running during off-peak hours (early morning US Eastern time) reduces the chance of being rate-limited.

FAQ

Q: How many agents can I scrape? A: There is no hard limit. However, Zillow typically shows up to 20 agents per page. For large cities, you may find hundreds or thousands of agents across many pages.

Q: Why are some fields null? A: Not all agents have complete profiles on Zillow. Phone numbers, emails, and websites depend on what the agent has published. The scraper extracts everything that is publicly available.

Q: How often does the data update? A: Zillow agent profiles are updated in near real-time by the agents themselves. We recommend re-scraping weekly for the freshest data.

Q: Can I filter by specific brokerages? A: The actor does not have a direct brokerage filter, but you can filter the output dataset by brokerageName after scraping.

Q: What if I get blocked or see 0 results? A: Use Apify residential proxies. Zillow has anti-bot protections that may block datacenter IPs. Residential proxies solve this in most cases.

Q: Does this work for non-US locations? A: No. Zillow only covers the United States. For international real estate agents, consider other platforms.

Q: What is the pricing? A: This actor uses pay-per-event pricing at $0.005 per agent profile scraped. You only pay for successfully extracted data, plus standard Apify platform compute costs.
