Zillow is mostly accurate, not always, but mostly. Sometimes, transactions and transactional information disappears completely, and it is impossible to find it, get it back or verify what happened. Sometimes, I have filed a rating for those they push and promote, and Zillow trashes any ratings that aren't 4 or 5 star ratings. Zillow is very biased and sells out. Overall, Zillow is very useful and a bit better than any of its competitors.
Zillow is really easy to use, and I like to use it for fun to look up some of the prices of houses, apartments, etc in my neighborhood. Great for when I am curious about real estate.
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.
Great Wonderful People! Look forward to always working with them on finding locations. Cindy Crutcher is a wondeful person. :)
They do list all homes on their site. They do not include Redfin homes. If you want to know what what really on the market, use another site.
7603 Vicar Street, New Carrollton, MD Rental Property: Attention new Rental Seekers. When reviewing this property, with interest to rent, please get clear information on the lease and the expectation of the lease information after a year. The renewal process will be your biggest focus point. I requested, after my year lease was fulfilled, about a month to month new lease and I was denied. Dont assume this rental will be month-to-month after the year lease has ended. Do your research on this property realtor Glenn.
Posted a home on Zillow that contained NO red flags, and after 72 hours and numerous emails... NO RESPONSE!. An auto message tells you the staff is reviewing, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach a human for help, and it's obvious staff did NOT review the home I listed for sale or it would have been published immediately! Over 72 hours... no response... still not listed. RIDICULOUS! Customer service couldn't be worse!
Zillow has only replied with computer generated reply when attempting to contact them to resolve their error in placing our home on their site with two different addresses. The correct address has no tax information and their zestimate pulled from thin air is 200,000 less then the one with the incorrect address listed off market with the tax information. The house two doors down, older and less square footage was listed correctly the same day and is already pending. Our home has had no showings due to the incorrect information on their site. There is no way to contact Zillow support in person to get this corrected in a timely manor.
Zillow is a site for buying and selling real estate and has a section to review restate agents. However, if the agent in not employed by you you cannot write a review, even if the other parties agent costs you a sale as recently happened to me.
Also today I find the listing for a neighbor's house up for sale includes a photo of my house. Totally incompentet.
Not recommended.
3 times I have requested to get more information on a property. 3 times a Zillow Rep called me, asked me if I was ready to be connected with a Realtor. 3 times I was disconnected. Terrible service a complete fail and a waste of my time.
Had an issue with an agent neglecting to submit an offer to seller. Wanted to protect other buyers from using her in the future and Zillow would not publish my add simply stating the offer and how agent not only did not submit it but never even returned my calls.
Zillow is just another mega company with poor customer service. I tried to list my house as a FSBO and was told I had to produce the title.
I can list it with a real estate agent without producing the title. I truly wish there was a better option than Zillow.

Got their service 2 months ago since my husband wanted a place near Bloomington. We are searching online for a real estate company and found Zillow. Actually Zillow is not new to us since one of our relative introduces them befire and I heard that they are the real deal when it comes to real estate. Now, I can attest that they are indeed reliable and trustworthy company. They have showed us the best choices and offered us the best value for money. They gave us a clean title and we really love our new house here in Bloomington. Thanks you so much and hope you keep helping more people achieve their dream home.
Think about it. Artificial Intelligence used to place valuation on your property. Then, would-be buyers look at the price and take it as gospel because, "I read it on the internet".
Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia... and all the rest. They are more than happy to publish a number they won't stand behind. At the peril of a seller losing money because overzealous agents in a local real estate mafia use the hammer to favor buyer advantage of setting the price.
This truly is anti-trust violation. Price fixing. Given the "over the phone" conversations each website has with paying agents who advertise with the websites, is a clear breeding ground for dishonesty and deception.
Sellers are getting screwed, and people just walk away pissed off.
Zillow can't seem to get my home listed for sale, even after several attempts with Zillow support. They are very ineffective at what they do per my experience.
I have used zillow for over 4 years- I have located out of state rentals, land and single family investment homes. Zillow continues to improve their platform making it easy to find real estate agents
Rick and Heidi Remakel worked with us very diligently in the Prescott, AZ area to help us find our new home. We really appreciated their dedication and all of the great assistance before and after the purchase. They are now friends and also our new neighbors. We highly recommend using Rick and Heidi to find your next home.

Don't just give a bad review, file complaint with Trade Commission. Zillow does serious harm to people. With me Zillow publishes their market value of our home-for-lease at $2,900 per month, when it is currently rented for $5,800 and has been appraised at $6,900! Yet they claim "it is just an estimate" and that they have no way to correct it. Apparently their employees are mindless automatons serving an algorithm. It is not just an estimate, it is a misleading published valuation of a private asset. Trade Commission, now. Get rid of these morons/crooks.
Zillow has stolen $500 from me by getting my debit card information without my consent, I never gave them my new debit card information, they have found a way to hack me and get it somehow. Until this day I have never received my refund and they have contemplated a way to prove that what they did is legal. Each "customer care" agent working ofr zillow are just trying to make commission out your zip code purchase. Please do not fall for the zillow premier agent. AVOID THIS!
While my house goes down in value, my neighbor has gone up in value. In fact, the zestimate value exceeds the highest range value, check it out for yourself 3870 Woodvale Dr, Carlsbad, CA *******. Zillow is garbage.
Answer: All Zillow does is collect your information and when you stop paying or refuse to pay for awful service they send fraudulent trolls pretending to be a potential tenant, buyer, seller that provides no identification to post negative reviews! Zillow is a terrible website!
Answer: Why would you expect a call from the buyer. All buyers, if they want things done proper way, their lawyer/rep/realtor will call you. So, when you do a for sale by owner, you are saying, you don't have a lawyer to represent you, but the buyer will.
