I loaded a "for sale by owner" listing into their site, says it takes UP TO hrs to go activeThis is beginning day and no actionI have sent emails and called timesA lady named Emory called and left a mesage telling me to leave complete address and she would take care of iti called back and gave her detailed information, well nothing happened againI called back three more times and until now, still nothingThis site has incorrect and inaccurate info

In checking this address on our website, the property in question is not actively listed for sale on our siteThe status of this property is "off market" which means the home is not actively listed for sale or for rent at this timeZillow receives sales and property information from a third-party
data provider that aggregates public records and user-submitted home factsOn rare occasions, this information can get misreported to us by our data-provider which looks to be the case hereAfter verifying with county sales records, we have removed the erroneous sale transaction from our databaseThe updated information will be reflected on the property page within approximately one week as the database refreshes the live website.As mentioned above, Zillow receives property data from county records and homeowner submissionsIf the home facts (like bathroom count) are incorrect, we provide homeowners with the opportunity to edit a number of facts that appear on their property pageBy editing the home facts directly, they can ensure their home information is as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Regarding the Zestimate, this is an estimate calculated using a computer-generated algorithmThe Zestimate is really meant to be a starting point in determining a home’s valueIt is not an official appraisal or a tax assessed value as these can take into account market intricacies that the Zestimate cannotIt is simply an estimate calculated off data available for a homeThe more data we have on a home, the more accurate the Zestimate. Some of the data used in this calculation includes physical attributes, tax assessments, and prior and current transactions. Since the Zestimate algorithm does use past sales as one of the many data points in its calculation, there may be some change in this estimated value over the next few weeks.Please note that we cannot not manually change or remove individual ZestimatesWhile we monitor customer feedback for systematic issues with the algorithm, we do change individual Zestimates in response to customer feedbackWe understand that some homes may be unique in ways that are not well captured by existing dataTo provide more information on a home, we encourage homeowners to include their own estimated value in the ‘Owners Estimate’ section of the property pageThis provides the opportunity for them to explain what they feel their home is worth given its unique features. For more information on the Zestimate, we encourage all of our users to visit this link: http://www.zillow.com/zestimate/

I purchased my home in March and Zillow promptly published an incorrect sale price that was half my property's value(The house apparently is on two lots and Zillow only published the price of one so its website has an amount that is half of what I purchased my home for)I promptly contacted Zillow, asked them to remove the sale price and I told them that the published price was wrongI have now contacted them at least seven times over the last two years and they still have the wrong price up and will not take that information down
My salary negotiations depend in part on my perceived cost of living; and Zillow makes it look as though my mortgage is half or a third of what my colleagues pay in housing costs--- this is impacting my compensation and Zillow should have no right to publish this kind of personal information anyway

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Until the value is changed to correct a more accurate number nothing they say will be sufficientThe home Appraised for $386,recently and is now under contract at $385,Their unbiased value is less than 50% accurate value to my specific propertyTheir algorithm does not account for anything that puts value on this propertyIt is simply put inaccurate and causes harm, potentially monetarily to home owners with regards to selling their propertyWhen the value reflects a more accurate number then the resolve will be acceptedUntil then nothing will be sufficient.
Sincerely,

We apologize for any confusionAfter the listing was canceled by the realtor, the status on the property page changed from For Sale By Agent to Off MarketProperty data appears on Zillow regardless of if a home is actively listed for sale or not on our siteIf this individual would like to list

I am absolutely disappointed with the billing services from ZillowI signed up for a month contract and was never mentioned to me by the sales person that it would be renewed automaticallyI paid for months and though I had completed the term of my contract when I get charged again for a 7th month without my consent (I did not wish to renew)I called and they promised a full refund for not making clear that it would automatically renewThen I get an email saying that I owe a prorated amount on top of the extra month I was debited without my consentNow nobody responds my calls or emails

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
It is untrueYes, there are some "leads" in my inbox, but they are all dead that won't answer any callsI haven't had one successful lead with this company in over monthsI'm canceling regardless

I have been advertising with zillow for years nowI used to be a big fanThe past year the company has totally changedThe "leads" that I pay $1,a month for are garbageThey are all other agents or buyers with agentsThey are not actual leads at allI am tired of picking up my phone to deal with these annoying callsI tried to cut my spending down to $per month and the account executive tried to tell me that $is nothingThey had me in a month contract at that price and my contract ended days after my billing cycleI fought long enough to get them to prorate the difference and reduce my payments to $but they required me to pay in full for the $1,to have my account changedThis billing cycle they charged me the full $1,again and none of the overpayment was appliedThey write in their contracts that none of the payments are refundable and I am unable to remove my credit cardThey just keep billing and I cant get my money back!!!

In reviewing the property page in question, we have received the MLS listing feed for this home and it is currently listed For Sale by the listing agent: ***

We bought our house two years ago, and Zillow refuses to remove our home from their list of houses for sale So we have people at our home all the time, thinking our home is for sale And it's listed as a foreclosure, which it definitely isn't being foreclosed on Everyone in our tiny little town thinks we are losing our home to the bank We've tried different real estate agency to help us, but nobody can ever seem to get through to them

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:Zillow had our house listed under SAWYERSo Zillow assigned us to anot area that we are NOT part of, that is not even the TOWNSHIP.
Sincerely,*** ***
