| Intuit's Mint.com adds Zillow home-value estimates to personal-finance site - San Jose Mercury News Posted: 22 Sep 2010 10:10 AM PDT Intuit's Mint.com personal-finance website has added home-value estimates from Seattle real estate information startup Zillow.com, the two companies announced today. Mint.com users who have added their home's address to their account will see the Zillow estimate the next time they log in. Others may choose to add their property. Mint.com users can accept Zillow's "Zestimate" or enter their own estimated home value. "This will give Mint users a more complete financial picture so they can save and do more with their money," Mint.com founder Aaron Patzer, now vice president and general manager of Intuit's personal finance group, said in a statement. "Because a home is usually a person's largest asset, it makes perfect sense for us to integrate with Zillow, to help our users track their home's Zestimate in their Mint account." Mint.com was founded in 2007 and bought last year for about $170 million by Intuit, the Mountain View maker of financial software such as Quicken and TurboTax. The site helps consumers track their finances by pulling in bank account, credit card and investment information. Users must provide log-in information for their accounts to use the service. Zillow was founded in 2006 and has received $87 million funding. According to TechCrunch, its investors include Benchmark Capital, Technology Crossover Ventures, PAR Capital Management and Legg Mason.At 10:04 a.m. PDT, Intuit stock was at $45.60, down 14 cents, or 0.3 percent.
