The majority of new job opportunities will be focused on supporting Zillow Offers, which is the company’s home buying program that gives homeowners an innovative and easy way to sell their existing residence to Zillow.
Multiple other business lines will have a presence in the metro Atlanta area, including Zillow Closing Services, Zillow Home Loans, Zillow Rentals, Zillow’s Premier Agent team, as well as Bridge Interactive, a B2B software business that has been headquartered in Atlanta for the past 14 years.
“Our skilled workforce is a great fit for a company like Zillow. We are excited about the new energy Zillow will bring to the Dunwoody Perimeter Market,” said Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch.
