Do I need a paid ChatGPT account to use the Zillow integration?

No. The Zillow app inside ChatGPT is live for all logged-in U.S. ChatGPT users on Free, Plus, and Pro plans as of October 2025. You do not need a Zillow account to view listings inside ChatGPT, though you will likely need one to save searches or contact an agent through Zillow.

How do I trigger the Zillow app in a ChatGPT chat?

Start your prompt with the word Zillow. For example, Zillow, find me 3 bedroom homes in Northwood Irvine. ChatGPT recognizes the trigger and routes the query through the Zillow integration. You can also continue the conversation conversationally, refining filters in plain English.

Can ChatGPT see photos of an Irvine listing?

The Zillow integration displays photos inside the chat, but ChatGPT does not interpret or understand them. AI relies on the written listing description text. This is why specific descriptive language about views, layout, condition, and upgrades matters more than ever for Irvine sellers.

Will ChatGPT show me listings outside of Zillow's database?

Inside the Zillow app, no. The results are limited to Zillow's IDX-compliant listing dataset, which mirrors Zillow.com. ChatGPT can answer general questions about neighborhoods or affordability using its own knowledge, but the property search itself stays within Zillow's data.

Should I, as an Irvine seller, rewrite my listing description for AI?

Yes, or work with an agent who already does. The shift from photo-first portal browsing to text-first AI search means listing copy is now a primary visibility lever. Every Irvine listing description should include village name, tract, schools, layout specifics, HOA structure, and amenity proximity in plain text.
