Short answer: own your website, and keep Zillow only as an extra. A website is an asset you own. A Zillow profile is space you rent.
On Zillow, Zillow owns the platform, sets the rules and prices, and shows buyers other agents next to you. On your own website, you own the domain, the leads, the design, and the Google ranking for your name and market.
| Question | Zillow profile | Your own Creoa website |
|---|---|---|

| Who controls the price and rules? | Zillow can change both. | You do. Hosting and domain are yours. |
| Who else does a buyer see? | Other agents can appear next to your listing. | Only you. |
| How does it look? | A standard profile layout. | Custom design, built around your brand and market. |
| What does it cost? | Set by Zillow. | $499, $799, or $1,199 one-time. |
| When do I pay? | Set by Zillow. | After you approve the finished website. |

Yes, as an addition. Buyers still search Zillow, so a profile can put your name in front of them. The problem is depending on it. Zillow can change its rules or prices, and a lead that starts on Zillow starts on Zillow's platform. A website gives those leads somewhere of yours to land.
A Creoa website costs $499 for Starter (up to 4 pages), $799 for Growth (up to 6 pages), or $1,199 for Elite (unlimited pages). Each is a one-time price. Domain registration and MLS/IDX codes are paid separately. See the full pricing.

A website you own gives you the leads, the domain, and the design, and no one else can change the price or the rules. Zillow can still help buyers find you, so you may want to keep a profile as an addition, not a replacement.
A Creoa website costs $499 (Starter, up to 4 pages), $799 (Growth, up to 6 pages), or $1,199 (Elite, unlimited pages). Each is a one-time price, and you pay only after you approve the finished site.
You receive a mockup within 1–2 business days. Starter sites launch in about 7 business days, Growth sites in about 10, and Elite sites in about 14. Timing varies with how many of your included revisions you use (2 on Starter, 3 on Growth, 5 on Elite) and how quickly you send content and feedback.
No. Your website works alongside any Zillow profile. The difference is that the website is yours.
You do. You receive full ownership of the website when you pay, and you register your own domain.
