How a Real Estate Intelligence Company Made their Data Workflows 50% Faster
“Before ZenRows, we were missing up to 40% of new property listings on high-security portals. Now we capture every listing as it appears, giving our clients the first opportunity to view exclusive properties before they're widely marketed.”
Missing Critical Property Listings Due to Blocked Data Access
A mid-sized real estate intelligence company tracking property data across Seloger, Idealista, and Immovirtual was losing access to thousands of property listings weekly. With 50 data specialists supporting their market intelligence reports for investors and agencies, they were missing price trends and inventory changes because their scrapers kept getting blocked. This data gap meant their clients were making investment decisions with incomplete market information.
Constantly Fighting Anti-Bot Measures Instead of Analyzing Property Trends
Before ZenRows, the company faced real obstacles that directly impacted their real estate insights:
- Lost access to 30% of property listings when their IPs got blocked during peak market updates.
- Forced to solve CAPTCHA challenges when attempting to access property listings, resulting in missed market opportunities for their clients and incomplete pricing trend data.
- Struggled tracking pricing changes on JavaScript-heavy property portals due to detection systems blocking their scrapers.
- Missed new listing alerts for their clients because data collection was unreliable and often 24-48 hours delayed.
Their attempts with standard proxy services failed to keep up with real estate websites' increasingly sophisticated protection systems, forcing data analysts to spend more time troubleshooting than actually analyzing market conditions.
Up and Running in One Day with Immediate Property Data Flow
The company connected ZenRows to their existing systems in less than a day. What made the difference wasn't just basic proxy rotation but ZenRows' ability to handle the specific challenges of real estate websites - bypassing the JavaScript challenges and behavioral analysis that had previously locked them out of critical listing data.
Within the first 48 hours, they regained access to property listings that had been inaccessible for months. Their data pipeline began delivering consistent information from all target real estate platforms without the constant interruptions they'd struggled with before.
More Properties, Better Data, Lower Costs
ZenRows transformed their real estate data operations with specific improvements:
- Reduced data collection time by 50% - now catching new property listings within hours instead of days
- Improved property data accuracy by 30%, eliminating duplicate listings and capturing complete property details.
- Reduced data operation costs by 35% by eliminating the need for multiple scraping tools and manual fixes.
- Started collecting data from previously inaccessible premium real estate platforms, giving clients access to exclusive market segments.
"Since implementing ZenRows, we've doubled the number of property listings we can monitor daily. We're now able to alert our clients about price drops within hours instead of days after they happen."
