Wacksman took over the CEO spot from company co-founder Rich Barton in August 2024. As the company settles into its post-iBuying era, Wacksman has emerged as the person who will continue the firm’s vision to deepen its relationship with its massive audience to convert more of them into referrals for its partner agents and to capture more of those who do transact as customers of its mortgage business. He oversees the industry’s dominant portal in Zillow, which attracts approximately twice the number of visitors each month than real estate’s next most popular portal.
