Zillow expands direct home purchase program to Portland, four other markets

Zillow, the online real estate and rental marketplace, will expand Zillow Offers to Portland, Oregon, and four other markets in 2019, citing strong demand for the direct purchase program.

Zillow Offers allows home sellers to request a no-obligation cash offer from Zillow to buy their home, removing “the hassle and uncertainty of selling a house,” according to the Seattle-based company.
