Agent BizzUp is now Zealder

It’s a very exciting time to be an Agent BizzUp customer!

About 2 years ago we embarked on the most zealous endeavor ever! Our goal was to restructure our entire platform to overcome some of the biggest challenges real estate professionals face today. 

We realized that unmanaged real estate websites just don’t work like they use to. With competition stemming from major portals, iBuyers, and behemoth brokers, real estate professionals require a web presence that is completely different than what was required just a few years ago.

Before the industry was dominated by giant real estate portals, such as Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com, a real estate professional only required a basic website with IDX to generate leads. Not anymore. To compete with these web portals, you need to deliver an outstanding consumer experience. You need a web presence that can keep up with industry demands. One that is more personal. One that is more social and mobile friendly. One that reflects your brand and values. One that displays your connection with the local community. One that is result driven and leaves nothing up to chance.

Zealder, formerly knows as Agent BizzUp, was formed in response to the challenges real estate professionals face, and to help them navigate the new era of real estate web technologies. By researching all the components that made the major portals successful and all the areas where they were lacking, we zealously created a solution that is truly remarkable. 

Introducing Managed Services

Managed Services are completely custom solutions that are tailored to accomplish your web presence goals and establish a lasting reputation for your business brand. These custom solutions are built on top of our world-class platform, Zealder CMS, which means that the infrastructure is reliable, solid, and is continuously improving.

This new approach is more personal (you get a dedicated Account Manager that interact with you directly instead of a faceless corporation). We believe that real estate professionals will proactively take back control of the industry, and we want to be their partner in doing so.

So why the name change?

We know you have many questions and we’ve put together this summary to help you understand the transition. 

  • Is Agent BizzUp going out of business or under new management?
    No. On the contrary. We’ve restructured our business model to service the modern era of real estate web technology.
  • Will Agent BizzUp stop providing real estate website that I control?
    No. Our existing website plans are still been offered as Do-it-yourself products. In fact, our Managed Services and our Do-it-yourself products share the same underlying infrastructure. However, over the next few months we will revamp many of our existing features and introducing new ones.
  • Why “Zealder”?
    Quite simply, we wanted a shorter name that better reflect our brand and culture.

Real Estate Agents win!

Agent BizzUp has always use a form of agile development. But now we’re talking agile development to a whole new level, offering websites that continuously improve, and soon we will also allow all of our real estate partners to have direct input into our internal project management. 

We’re also opening up! In addition, we’re building Zealder CMS, a completely open source platform. We decided to go open with our technology because we believe in the power of the open web. 

We’ve developed a product that is so forward thinking and intelligent that it not only level the playing field, but also put agents in a position to outperform their competitors. 

While no change is required on your part, if you would like to take advantage of our new offerings, contact us today about migrating to a Managed Website, so you can focus on what matters most: your business and clients. We look forward to growing with you as your partner, and building your amazing web presence together.
