Easy Zillow Reviews

Display Zillow reviews for agents, teams, and lenders.

How it works

1. Connect your Zillow profile. A setup guide walks you through getting a free Bridge API access token, then tests it.
2. Pick a layout: list, grid, or slider (Premium).
3. Add reviews with a block, widget, or shortcode.

Reviews come from Zillow’s official APIs: the Reviews API (through Bridge Interactive) for agents and teams, and the Mortgages API for lenders (Premium; requires a Zillow Mortgages Partner ID). The plugin does not scrape Zillow pages and does not save review data to your WordPress database.
