Scan Zillow for fix-and-flip deals under $250k
An agent scans Zillow for listings under $250k with 50+ days on market and flags same-day updates, replacing manual checks several times a day. ·
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The poster set up a Hyperagent workflow to watch Zillow for homes under $250k that had been on market 50+ days, then flag them the same day Zillow data changed. The agent replaced manually checking listings 2–3 times a day with a prefiltered list the poster reviews in about five minutes; the human still evaluates properties, runs comps, walks houses, and manages renovations.
- How it went
- It cut a task that used to take about an hour a day down to a 5-minute scan. The poster says they have not closed a deal from it yet, but it surfaced two properties they do not think they would have found manually.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is that the source gives no build details beyond using Hyperagent, so you can copy the filters and workflow goal more than the exact implementation.
