Betterment and Zillow Partner to Create Financial Education Videos on Home Buying

Zillow is the most visited real estate website in the United States. It is a service that allows you to find, buy, rent, and sell your home. Zillow has been in the spotlight in recent weeks due to the fact that they buy and sell homes directly. Long story short – they lost millions trying to flip homes. As a Zillow customer myself, I listed and sold my home through Zillow without an agent and saved over $15,000 in agent fees. Betterment is a smart money manager. They are one of the earliest adopters in robo-advising. They offer Traditional and Roth IRA’s, SEP IRA’s, Trusts, Individual Brokerage Accounts, Health Savings Accounts, Cash Accounts, and more. Join Betterment here and get your $5000 managed free for a year.

Answering Your Questions

Zillow and Betterment have put together a financial education video series based on your most asked questions on real estate. Yesterday, on November 17th, Ask Zillow Anything, launched their first of many video’s. Presented by Betterment, their first video titled “The Money Filter: Shop for a Home with Your Wallet in Mind” discusses how to search for a home within your budget, home values, and pitfalls to avoid. Their next video “When to Consider New Construction” will be published on December 15th, 2021. Right now they are publishing videos on a monthly basis. You can see what videos are coming up in a 6 month pipeline. I think it’s great that Zillow and Betterment have partnered on this topic. Financial Education is very important for us to function as a society. It is unfortunate that financial education is not a part of the syllabus in most schools. If you have kids, encourage them to subscribe and read my content on college savings, careers, investing, and saving.
