He then served as vice president of lodging for Expedia before co-founding Zillow.

At Zillow, Rascoff held multiple leadership roles, including chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and vice president of marketing, before being named chief executive officer. As CEO, Rascoff led Zillow’s growth into a major residential technology platform, expanding consumer access to home listings and price information. Under his leadership, Zillow acquired 15 companies, including Trulia, and grew from 200 to 4,000 employees, with annual revenue increasing from $30 million to $1.3 billion. The company received recognition as a top workplace and achieved significant market capitalization. Rascoff has been recognized by Fortune and Forbes as one of America's most powerful CEOs under 40 and is a recipient of the Ernst and Young National Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Glassdoor's Highest Rated CEO recognition.

Rascoff is also known for his work as an author and thought leader in the technology and real estate industries. He co-wrote the book "Zillow Talk: Rewriting the Rules of Real Estate," which became a New York Times bestseller. Rascoff is a frequent guest on CNBC and hosts the podcast "Office Hours," where he discusses leadership, company culture, and product strategy with other executives.
