Cynthia Taylor

Zillow Group

Cynthia Taylor, senior vice president of agent software and advertising at Zillow, is reshaping how technology supports real estate agents in a rapidly evolving market. She oversees a broad portfolio of tools designed to help agents grow their businesses and deliver standout client experiences, including Zillow Premier Agent, Zillow Showcase, Follow Up Boss, ShowingTime, dotloop, Aryeo and rich media solutions such as virtual tours and interactive floor plans.

In 2025, Taylor led agent-focused innovation tied to Zillow’s Summer Launch, unveiling a suite of new tools designed to elevate service from first showing through final offer. A standout release was SkyTour, a cutting-edge aerial experience that provides buyers with a 360-degree exterior view of a property and its surroundings. Offered on Zillow Showcase listings, the feature gives agents a powerful new way to highlight location and context. Taylor also guided the Follow Up Boss team in launching advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, including client insights that help agents identify when buyers or sellers may be ready to act so they can engage at precisely the right moment.

Taylor’s leadership philosophy centers on the belief that technology enhances rather than replaces agents. She shares, “In 2025, we introduced tools that make agents’ jobs easier and client experiences smoother by both elevating the human touch and empowering agents to deliver exceptional service.” Her decade of experience at Zillow ensures product decisions are grounded in real agent needs and real consumer behavior.
