Hey, great to hear from a market analyst, our newest (and fastest growing) job family within Analytics. Glad to hear you're enjoying the work and the overall culture and environment. As you've probably heard me say directly, I'm excited about the work of our pricing team in making Zillow Offers possible, as well as how the work of this team is providing insights that help us improve the Zestimate on all homes. Please let me or your manager know if there are things we can do to make things even better. Don't get too laid back though...we've got a lot of work left to do as we create delightful experiences for real estate consumers! - Stan Humphries
