The Zero Upfront Listing

Most agents work alone. When a buyer wants to see your home tonight and that agent is booked, the buyer waits, and some never come back. Not with Jill. Every inquiry is handled and every showing is taken care of, right away, evenings and weekends included.

“I got an offer the first day of showings!”

Why it matters: every month a $1,000,000 home sits costs about $6,600 in mortgage, taxes and insurance.

The math: a $5,340 mortgage payment with 20% down at the 7.03% average 30-year rate, plus about $830 in property taxes and $430 in insurance. Sources: Freddie Mac, September 2026 · Insurance.com

Most homes on Zillow get a standard listing with a scroll of photos. Your home launches on Showcase, Zillow's premium listing, which gives buyers much more to explore:

• Professional, high-resolution photos, organized room by room
• An interactive floor plan that links every photo to its room
• A 3D tour buyers can walk through from their phone or computer
• Priority placement in Zillow search and map results, with larger photos
• Dedicated email alerts to serious buyers

Picture buyers walking through your home on their phones, room by room, before they ever book a showing.

Zillow reports that Showcase listings get 84% more page views than similar homes nearby and sell for 2% more on average. On a $1,000,000 home, that's about $20,000.

Getting a home ready to sell usually means calling around for quotes, waiting on callbacks and hoping the work is done before listing day. With Jill, you skip all of that. She tells you what's worth fixing and what isn't, gets quotes from painters, handymen and cleaners, and once you've picked who does the work, manages it from start to finish. You pay only for the work itself.

After 729+ homes, Jill knows which fixes pay off and which ones don't. Picture coming home to fresh paint and a finished to-do list, without calling a single contractor yourself.

Why it matters: a general contractor typically charges 10% to 20% of the job to manage it. On a $20,000 refresh, that's $2,000 to $4,000. Jill manages yours at no charge.

With some agents, you pay before your home ever sells, and you pay again if you cancel. Here's what those fees can cost, next to what they cost with Jill:

The fee	What some agents charge	With Jill
Retainer or upfront listing fee	$500 to $2,500, usually non-refundable, even if your home doesn't sell	$0
Photos and marketing, paid up front	$300 to $700 for photos, plus $250 to $1,000 for marketing materials	$0
Cancellation or withdrawal fee	A few hundred dollars plus marketing costs, or in some agreements the full commission	$0

With Jill, you pay none of it. Nothing is charged up front, because she pays for your photos, your Zillow Showcase launch and your marketing. If you want out 30 days in, you can cancel with no fee. And Jill is only paid her commission if your home sells.
