No direct lead capture independent of Zillow and the portals
When every buyer and seller lead is routed through Zillow, Realtor.com, or Redfin, the portal owns the relationship. You pay per lead or lose the relationship to whichever agent the portal recommends next. Your own website should generate direct inquiries through IDX property search, neighborhood pages, and an appraisal tool, so that the leads who come to you directly are yours without a referral fee or a platform sitting in between.
