Incorrect property listing

Follow allowed a non-owner of one of my properties to take it over (on MY page), changing the picture, listing it for rent, and erasing correct historical data for the property (built in 1955, extensively renovated during COVID, and owned by my family since 1964). Contacting Zillow has only been a run around -- I made the fake owner and the rental realty company at LEAST take the home "off market" but the incorrect data still shows on my ownership page and Zillow won't let me correct it.

So -- my $1M home (which it cost me $2M to renovate) looks like a *** $1850/month rental BECAUSE SOMEONE COULDN'T tell the difference between the WEST part of the town and the EAST side.

There's a HUGE difference. Still pissed and following up with Zillow.

Pros:
  • Nice to use if when looking for views of your house
Cons:
  • Incorrect derivation of ownership data and erasure of correct data

Preferred solution: Restore the correct data about my property -- AND AN APOLOGY and explanation WHY they let someone who does NOT own the property to take control of it.

User's recommendation: Be VERY careful about your ownership page ... watch it intently. Zillow SAYS they get ownership data from county ownership records, but this is obviously not the case and they have ZERO quality controls in place.

Photo Order Display Issue on Listing

Dear Zillow Support Team,

Good day! I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to request assistance regarding the photo order on one of our listings - 11766 Rocky Hill Rd, Bristol, VA 24202.

We have already updated the photos on our end; however, the photo order is still showing the same sequence on Zillow.

Specifically, picture #2 and #3 are interior photos of the barn. They need to be moved later in the lineup to be grouped with the other barn photos.

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in refreshing or correcting the photo display order on our listing.

Please let me know if you need any additional details from my end.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

AJ Atlas

Ininformation regarding your free listing service and how I can contact interested renterded

Please communicate with me verbally.

I do not understand why I can no longer communicate directly with potential renters. I prefer to use my own lease and set up my own appointments.

I am now unable to review any credit or other information which interested people submit. I set prefer to set up as all appointments not be told when I am to show my property as the last Zillow communication stated. It was requested on the 11th and required I respond within 24 hours; however, it was sent to me on the 13th??? Why do you refer pet owners and smokers when I clearly state I do not allow these things?

I abide by all NM Statutes.

Are you charging listings now?Hiw do I communicate with a human from Zillow on the phone or text? I will recommend Zillow again once I understand the apparent changes or misunderstandings. My phone number is 505 908 ****. Thank you.

Also how do I change a listing where you put the property was 87123 when in fact it is 87122?

Help please via a human. Your listed phone numbers are not accurate.post

User's recommendation: Post a valid phone number. Explain the difference between free postings and paid postings. Let us have direct contact with potential renters without going back and forth through your agents.

Got scammed

Applied for a house for rent paid $70 application fee. Got an approval email from Zillow come to find out that particular house has been sold two years ago was not for rent and some scammer. Got my money and Zillow still hasnt contacted me about the situation, so yeah, pretty sure that I will not recommend Zillow and that it must be easy just to pick a house and make a fraudulent email with all of Zillow criteria and I mean down to unsubscribe if you would like and it also allowed me to download the app and it would take me to my new lease and yeah, it was all a scam but yet Zillow will not return my emails and there isnt a phone number to call to find out the situation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Zillow estimated my house very low. Dont understand why as brand new custom built home has to appraise for more than $150 per square foot.cost cost was ver 300k.

Older homes with less square footage on the same street appraised for more money. How do you figure that?
