The agent assembled a comprehensive overview of Zillow's business model, pricing, and competitive position by relying entirely on web search and third-party analysis, since Zillow's homepage was inaccessible (403). The site is effectively invisible to direct machine navigation but well-documented in external sources.

• ›Zillow's homepage returned 403 Forbidden, blocking direct access to primary company positioning. The agent recovered by using web search results, which included Zillow's own /news/about/ URL (from search snippet) and external comparisons.
• ›Step [2] search results included Zillow's official 'What is Zillow?' page via search link, but that page was not directly fetched (403 on attempt [3]); the agent used only the search snippet text, indicating search-result content substituted for site content.
• ›Pricing information came entirely from third-party cost-tracking sites ([5] search results). No pricing page was fetched from Zillow itself; the agent constructed pricing from aggregated external guides (latestcost.com, listwithclever.com).
• ›Competitive differentiation ([6] and [7]) was sourced from external bloggers (homelight.com, rentalrealestate.com) directly comparing Zillow to Redfin and others. The agent did not fetch Zillow's own comparison pages.
• ›The agent correctly identified and disclosed that Zillow Offers (iBuying service) was shut down in 2021—this appears in search results and external analysis, not in any live Zillow page, and represents an important contextual gap that the site itself could not answer.
