The real estate Web site Zillow.com, a site that provides free valuations — which it calls “Zestimates” — on most U.S. homes, has been cleared to operate in Arizona. According to The Arizona Republic, a bill signed into law this week allows Zillow to operate in the state. Last year, the Arizona Board of Appraisal ordered the Seattle company to stop offering property estimates because it did not have an Arizona appraiser’s license.
