Zillow has announced major changes to its executive leadership team to drive the growth of its residential property super app. Finance chief Jeremy Hofmann steps into an expanded role as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, following Jun Choo's decision to step down for health reasons.

Zillow has teamed up with Blizzard Entertainment to launch a virtual property microsite for World of Warcraft fans. The project uses real-world technology like 3D tours to showcase in-game player housing. This collaboration arrives ahead of the Midnight expansion on 2 March and aims to bridge the gap between fantasy escapism and real-life home aspirations. It provides an immersive way for a global gaming community to explore virtual homes.
