As of April 2011, Postlets was acquired by Zillow. We will no longer be posting to this blog. If you have a customer service inquiry, please ask it in Zillow Advice or check out the Postlets FAQ. For the latest Postlets news, stay tuned to the Zillow Blog.
final Postlets blog post
August 4th, 2011Postlets PRO now free for everyone!
July 13th, 2011Today, I’m thrilled to announce that the Postlets Pro program is now free. That’s right — we are opening up this program, which was previously a paid, subscription-only program, to everyone, for free!
That means that starting today, all new for-rent and for-sale listings on Postlets are free and will include:
- up to 18 large photos
- a rich listings template with multiple tabs
- the ability to embed community information (i.e. Walk Score, school data)
- video capabilities
Previously, these enhanced listing features were only available to paying Postlets Pro subscribers. And, of course, Postlets is still committed to listing syndication, which distributes your listings across 13 real estate and social media websites.

Real estate agents, landlords, and property managers, we hope you are as excited about this announcement as we are! Continue to look to Postlets and Zillow for innovative tools and resources to market your listings and grow your business.
server maintenance
June 8th, 2011We apologize for the late notice on this, but we will need to do some server maintenance this afternoon. We expect to start at 3pm PT and go until 6pm PT. Logging in will be unavailable and you won’t be able to manage your postlets during this time. However, all existing active postlets will remain available and publicly viewable.
postlets joins zillow!
April 11th, 2011We’re thrilled to announce that Postlets has been acquired by Zillow!
Our goal over the past several years has been to develop simple yet innovative products that redefine real estate marketing and search. We did our best to listen to your feedback, but being a lean, bootstrapped company, we could only do so much. This deal represents a fantastic opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people in the industry and build all of the things we said we would — and much, much more. We’re extremely excited that Zillow shares our vision and is committed to invest in Postlets to deliver tools that will further help you build your business.
We’ll have more details in the coming weeks, but rest assured that Postlets will continue to function the way it does today — and remain free. A huge “thanks!” to our loyal users for all of the tremendous support and encouragement we’ve received over the years.
For more details, check out the announcement from Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff on the Zillow Blog.

no kid hungry pledge
December 8th, 2010Back in June we announced that we would donate $1 from every sale of Postlets PRO to a group of non-profit organizations working to solve hunger and homelessness issues. We’re pleased to report that with your help, we have already donated several thousand dollars to Shelter Network and the National Center on Family Homelessness during the past six months.
Today we’re happy to announce a new addition to the list: No Kid Hungry Pledge. Led by Share Our Strength, the campaign seeks to end childhood hunger — which affects 1 in 4 children in America — by 2015. Please join us in this fight by advocating and supporting these causes any way you can.
