‍

Say goodbye to wasting hours manually inputting property details, such as address, price, and amenities. With this automation, you can quickly gather accurate information, allowing you to analyze and organize properties efficiently.

‍

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with all the Zillow properties you want to save.

‍

‍

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Zillow property page and save information like location, price, features and details, number of bathrooms, number of bedrooms, square feet, price, days listed, and management information. It will then save this information to your Airtable once the setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and scrape data from Zillow

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

‍

Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. If it’s your first time using Bardeen, you will be redirected to install the extension.

‍

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

‍

You will be asked to specify an Airtable to save your information. After you choose the database, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

‍

‍

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!

‍

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Run the automation to scrape Zillow property to Airtable

When you want to save a Zillow property, navigate to the Zillow property and activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. 

‍

‍

It will capture all the information from the page and save the information to the Airtable that you specified in Step #1.

‍

‍

This automation is fantastic for real estate agencies. Real estate agencies can utilize this automation to streamline their property management processes. By automatically scraping property information from Zillow and adding it to their Airtable database, they can quickly update property listings, track property details, and keep their records up to date. This saves time and minimizes errors in data entry, allowing agents to focus on client interactions and closing deals.

‍

Property investors can also leverage this automation to conduct efficient market research. They can scrape property data from Zillow and import it into Airtable, enabling them to analyze and compare potential investment opportunities. With accurate and organized information readily available, investors can make informed decisions about property acquisitions, rental yields, and property value trends.

‍

Real estate analysts are another group of people who can greatly benefit from this automation by automating the data collection process. They can gather relevant property details from Zillow and integrate them into their Airtable database, facilitating comprehensive market analysis. Analysts can easily track property sales, monitor market trends, and generate reports, enabling them to provide valuable insights to their clients or stakeholders. This automation simplifies their workflow, allowing them to focus on analyzing data and making strategic recommendations.
