Zolo is where you browse active MLS listings, sold prices, and saved searches. Pin.Casa is what watches for you — including homes that aren't listed yet, aren't officially for sale, or are outside the exact search you set up.
What Zolo does well
A comprehensive, map-based search across active Canadian MLS listings.
Saved searches with email alerts for new listings and price drops.
Sold price and listing history on homes across many markets.
A home value estimate tool for ballpark pricing.
What Zolo can't do
Alert you to a home before it's officially listed — a saved search only matches homes that are already on the market.
Track price changes on one specific address you care about, rather than a list of active results.
Watch an entire school catchment, subdivision, or postal code for anything new that lists inside it.
Notify you the instant something changes — it requires a matching saved search to already exist.

Why Pin.Casa is free forever
Pin.Casa is free for the same practical reason most useful buyer tools are: local real estate agents and businesses advertise on the map, not buyers paying a fee. No premium tier, no credit card, unlimited pins and alerts — for as long as you use it.
Common questions
Is Pin.Casa affiliated with Zolo?
No. Pin.Casa is an independent service. We are not owned by, operated by, or affiliated with Zolo or Zolo Realty.
Can I use Pin.Casa and Zolo together?
Yes. Zolo is great for browsing active MLS listings. Pin.Casa's job is different: it watches addresses you care about — including ones that are not listed yet — and tells you the moment something changes, instead of you having to keep checking back.
Is Pin.Casa really free?
Completely free. No premium tier, no credit card, unlimited pins and alerts. Pin.Casa is funded by local real estate agents and businesses advertising on the map, not by charging buyers.
Does Pin.Casa replace my real estate agent?
No. Pin.Casa works independently of any agent. You can still work with one — we just make sure you never miss a listing before they call you.
How is this different from a saved search on Zolo?
A saved search only matches homes that are already listed. A Pin.Casa pin can watch a specific address that has never been listed, a school catchment, a subdivision, or a postal code — and alerts you the instant anything inside it lists, changes price, books an open house, or sells.
