Zillow

Zillow has had inaccurate information about my home on their website for almost a year. I have written to them on four (4) separate occasions to get it corrected. Every time they reply with the "there's nothing we can do" response.

I even sent screen shots showing how the search results don't even match the address entered, but the "Help" people again said, "Nothing we can do about it."

So the data they have is incorrect, unreliable, not factual, points to the wrong addresses, and they can't do a thing about it.

Recommend you use other resources.

The customer service is a little iffy. There are many scams to watch out for. I find myself constantly reporting obviously fraudulent listings. The private listers are so much more professional than the realtors that list. The feature for renters to pay fees thru the app does help with the legitimacy of each rental.

Zillow leaves a lot to be desired but it's a good place to start researching. The visuals alone do that.

I wish they would add a feature that allows searches by the number of levels a house has--one story; two stories (or more); unfinished basement; finished basement, etc.

The thing is, a LOT of us are getting older and only want to consider a one-story home. Falls are a concern, but even more than that is the day-to-day difficulty of climbing and going down stairs.

Zillow is a great site for finding out area property information and values. The data regarding taxes and sales dates, etc. is very informative, however, their valuation of properties can be a bit off. Most likely they base their valuations on previous sales and their estimates are general. If you are looking for property valuation use Zillow for information and then check with several local real estate professionals for the true estimates of valuations. If you are searching for increasing values in a depressed market, the market can change for the better much quicker than reports on Zillow.com. Zillow does eventually catch up though.

There are A LOT of lazy real estate agents on Zillow. I would never contract with an agent that doesn't take the time to take pics or takes dark or lousy pics. If a Zillow listing does not have pics, I (and many others) will not even consider the property and will move to the next. Also, the lazy agents don't take the time to describe the home and instead say something like agent, see notes. What good does that do the average home shopper that doesn't have an agent yet? If there is a HOA fee or lot rent fee, Zillow always avoids revealing this info even though it is significant toward the true price of the home. And if you try to look for a house in FL, you will have to go through thousands of manufactured homes that lazy real estate agents should have listed in manufactured home section. Lots of room for Zillow improvements.

All of the real estate referrals for rentals, Vacation homes, and furnished apartments are extraordinarily expensive for what you get. In almost all cases tenants pay between six and 18% premium plus a 2 1/2% deduction for Credit card payments after the property owner pays $400 to advertise on their site. Zillow is the last of the free sites that operates just like a classified advertisement. So save yourself 10% on every vacation booking I'm getting contact with the owners directly via Zillow

Horrible customer service. I listed my rental on Zillow and started getting calls the same day. 48 hours later I had my rental secured with a new tenant! Great! So now I have been spending the last two weeks trying to remove the rental so people stop calling me. I have contacted Zillow corporate in Seattle three times and all you get is an answering machine telling you to leave a message and I'll call you back. They never called back. There is no Tab for landlords on their website! Oh we can a half later, I am giving up. The thing is, that this is going to reflect negatively on Zillow because when people don't get return phone calls for me, they will blame Zillow, not me.

Upon trying to review an agent who failed miserably in working as my listing agent It appears that Zillow is shielding this agent from some negative reviews. I submitted my review about a month ago and haven't received any feedback rather it was accepted or not. Chances are it was flagged since it rated the agent with one star and recommended against his services. It was an honest review of his overall lack of efforts and bad attitude towards us, his clients. I'll likely stop using Zillow all together. It likely won't affect them but I'll be satisfied by just not using them.

Zillow is a terrible website to use when searching for a place. Why is it that you can't put 1-2,3-4, just 1, just 2 bedrooms, etc.? It always has to be X+ whatever you're looking for. Why is it that when I put the maximum willing to pay for rent at a certain price point the right side consistently comes up with things WAY out of my price range? Or homes that are 6 bedrooms when all I want is one or two? Don't even get me started on how badly it "sorts" the homes/apartments, also. "Low to high" is a lie. Scrolling down I see 1, 386, 1, 209, 1690, 864. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm sure I'm not using the site wrong, I'm sure it's just a terrible site. I've had better luck just looking at Google maps. Seriously.

$2500 a month for 1.5 leads a month. 4 actual leads and the rest should never have been transferred. Dog walkers looking for her clients, a dad checking to see if his son got a good deal on the house he bought, a guy from out of town who needed a tour guide, none of these should have qualified as "leads" each cost me $2500 - Run screaming and go get your own leads. One thought comes to mind "class action lawsuit"

Our home value has, according to Zillow, steadily decreased, while homes all around us have increased. Why? Who knows! I sent an e-mail to Zillow about this; they told me that they use "neural networks" to appraise homes. What BS! On our block alone, they have missed several homes that have been torn down and rebuilt to a much larger size. Houses in our area routinely sell for prices ~50% higher than shown on Zillow. Don't bother with this silly website.
