We’re proud to share that Julie Lai, Real Estate Broker-Associate at Partner Real Estate, was one of only three agents nationwide invited by Zillow to participate in the Zillow Product Manager Summit, held April 22–24, 2025, at Zillow’s headquarters in Seattle.
This invitation-only event brought together Zillow’s project managers, directors, and senior leadership alongside a select group of real estate professionals to engage in open, high-level discussions about the future of real estate technology.
Julie was invited to speak on an exclusive Agent Panel, where she shared frontline insights with Zillow’s product development team on how to bridge the gap between consumer expectations and agent needs across Zillow’s platforms.
The summit focused on streamlining the tools agents use daily and improving the user interface across Zillow’s platforms — from buyer and seller dashboards to agent-facing resources. The goal? Create a seamless, integrated experience that empowers agents to work smarter, not harder, while elevating the real estate journey for consumers.
“This experience was incredibly meaningful to me,” said Julie. “I’m honored that Zillow values our voices. Being part of a conversation that could redefine the way we work and serve our clients means everything.”
Zillow’s long-term vision is to eliminate redundancy, reduce the number of disconnected tools agents must rely on, and equip real estate professionals with powerful data and reporting to enhance productivity and deepen client impact.
Julie’s participation underscores our belief at Partner Real Estate that when agents are empowered with the right tools and support, they can deliver extraordinary outcomes for the families they serve.
Congratulations, Julie, on this prestigious recognition and for representing Partner Real Estate with excellence and vision!
