Under his leadership, we will expand the integrated transaction experience to more customers–agents, movers, and industry professionals–and offer them a better way to transact in real estate.”
Throughout Choo’s tenure at Zillow Group, he has propelled the company’s mission forward, creating the integral Connections platform, inventing Premier Agent market-based pricing, and spearheading the ideation, development, and nationwide launch of the unparalleled Zillow Showcase product.
“I’m honored to step into this role and continue supporting our company’s growth. With more than two-thirds of U.S. homebuyers on Zillow, we are seizing our incredible opportunity to deliver a more tech-enabled and integrated experience to get more people home,” said Choo. “Our industry software offerings are unmatched, and we will continue to invest in new solutions that help modernize the real estate experience through Zillow’s housing super app.”

“We’re grateful for both Susan and Matt’s many contributions and leadership over the last 12 years,” said Wacksman. “They’ve each had a tremendous impact on Zillow’s growth and success, and we wish them all the best.”
