Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Zillow never resolved any of my issuesIn fact, after spending days of trying to get a response from them through multiple emails, social media contact and also emailing a corporate team member, I heard back from them exactly once, in email formThis is what they said: "Thank you for reaching out We sincerely apologize for the delay I wanted to let you know that we are investigating why we are only receiving photos for this listing I will keep you posted as I learn."I never heard back from themThat was days agoI was lucky enough to have kept an old email from years ago with a corporate contact in itI emailed them and requested that they call meSomeone from their corporate office called me and then transferred me to the voicemail of the person mentioned aboveI left a detailed voicemail requesting helpNo one ever called me back.Nothing was resolved by ZillowI still have several tickets openIn fact, the only resolution I have achieved was by my own research and work into this matter - all independent of ZillowZillow never resolved anything on my behalf and for them to claim that they did is absurdAll they have done for the past two weeks is ignore my messages or stallIf you, in fact, look at the correspondence on the ticket in question, you will find my repeated and unanswered requests for help, and no resolution on their partIt was me who resolved the issue in question - not ZillowIt is still my contention that the customer service at Zillow is non-existent Sincerely,

We apologize for any confusionThe messaging shown in the screenshot provided is regarding a Video Walk-throughSince the listing does not contain a video walk through (video taken from the Zillow App), this messaging will continue to appearIf you click on the link, it directs users to a page with instructions on how to add a video walk through to their listingsAgain, we do not have a feature available to upload videos that appear on third party sites into the Video Walk-through sectionUsers can add links to third-party videos in the virtual tour section This user has already added a link to the third-party videoIf they'd like a video walk through added to their listing, they can create one using the Zillow mobile app as previously instructedThere is no further action we can take at this time

We called zillow 1-number and canceled our service Tuesday 8/15/because we could not get in touch with our agent we normally deal with Pete T [redacted] the gentleman I spoke with advised me it would be canceled, the rep we normally deal with Pete must have gotten wind that we canceled and called my husband [redacted] phone on 8/16/trying to see why we wanted to cancel and was advised we may pick it back up but it's not in our budget right nowHe advise it would be canceled and our account would not be charged and that he would be out of the office for about a weekThe next day the deducted out of our account with out permission and after we were told they would notWe did not have a contract with them and the services are prepaid so they deducted the money after being told not toI called to resolve the issue and they stated they could not do anything about it I called back twice to ask for a manager and they denied having access to one both timesThey refuse

Zillow receives past sales information from public records data and from agent-reported salesOn occasion, this information can get misreported to us which looks to be the case hereAfter verifying with county records directly, we have removed the erroneous agent-reported sale transaction from our database effective immediately Regarding the emails for this home, this individual was setup to receive periodic notifications when they claimed ownership of the property pageWe have unsubscribed this email address from receiving any new alerts about the propertyIf this individual would like to manage their email notifications for saved homes further, they can do so by logging into their Zillow account and accessing the subscription page

Regarding this complaint, our developers were able to successfully fix the bug that was preventing the removal of this listing transactionThe erroneous listing transaction from 06/15/has been remove from this property pageThe change can be viewed in the price history section of the property page ( [redacted] ) or in the attached screenshot

Information on Zillow about my property is incorrect and Zillow is not fixing it Zillow’s market appreciation rate, according to their site is “based on the last sale at fair market value and does not consider foreclosures” For my property, however, they are basing the market appreciation on a recent foreclosure sale This is having a drastic impact to my property and is causing potential buyers to go away I have called and e-mailed Zillow numerous times with no response

I signed up for Zillow thinking it would be a way to get more buyersI am being charged $320/month for basically nothingI have made many complaints to them and have asked that they cancel my serviceI keep getting told that my reviews would change the amount of leads and the quality of leadsThat wasn't explained to me when I first signed upI was asked how many homes I had closed in the last months and was told that it was a good number and that would be beneficialI was told by my Sales Rep's mgr that I would be sent work arounds for cutting and pasting past reviewsI never received itI contacted the mgr three days later and told him that I still wish to cancelI was told that someone would reach out to meNo one didI am paying to get leads from ZillowThey are not deliveringZillow, in my opinion has not held up their end of the bargainI believe that the advertising to home buyers and sellers is advertisingBuyers do not understand that it is nothing more

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: #1, in terms of reviews, their response is nonsense I have asked clients in the past to provide me with a review for my websiteOriginally I never thought of [redacted] Upon speaking to one of the reps, they told me to try to increase the number of reviewsI told them I had more, but that they were on my websiteThey were the ones who told me I should post them with the relevent information (house sold/bought, etc)Secondly, there were a number of reviews that they didn't "merge over" that had come directly from my clients and conformed with the requirementsThirdly, due to their lack of warning, there was no way for me to even know they deleted the reviewsI just happened upon itWhen I inquired, I was first told, "it's a slow process and some reviews get merged sooner and some later", then I was told they'd work on it, and finally they told me to contact my clients and request them to repost the reviewsAs I stated in my original complaint, I paid and continue to pay the same amount of money and they have the audacity to give me work! I spent more than an entire afternoon looking up clients emails and sending them a request to repost their review due to the fact that the [redacted] /Zillow merger was a debacleThey are so inept that they didn't even have the courtesy to warn me that clients couldn't post to [redacted] , but instead, now had to post through [redacted] ........which resulted in more work! This was time taken away from my work with clientsHow dare they take my money and feel no responsibility.In addition, their notification of leads is horribleAs I have indicated, they do not forward a text, but rather I receive a call, which doesn't permit me the time to pull up anything on the computer, so I can have information in front of me when I converse with themBefore this horrendous merger, I always received a text, an email and a callWhen I stated this problem, I wasn't given an answer and the problem persists.Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:I have not worked with either of the reviewers, they were not a seller or buyer and they said that in the review.I would like the reviews in questioned to be escalated to department that supervises the Zillow Ratings Review Moderations Team, as they are following their guidelines that are established by Zillow, as referenced below and apparently do not understand the difference between a buyer, seller and prospect, tenant, sales listing and rental listingOnce again the reviews in questions were not posted by a Buyer or Seller per their review guidelineCan anyone write a review?Only buyers and sellers who have communicated, or worked with an agent can write a review and submit a rating on that agentNote that we do provide a Service Provided category for "Never responded to my inquiry" for cases where a Reviewer contacts an agent but does not receive a responseSo, reviews may be left for cases of "attempted contact"Reviewers must register and create a profile on Zillow, then indicate the appropriate "Service Provided" option: the agent helped them buy or sell a home, or both, they shopped but didn't buy, listed but didn't sell, etcA review cannot be submitted for an agent "on the other side" of the transactionFor example, we would not permit a review from a home buyer left for the agent representing the home sellerZillow will determine whether such a relationship exists at our discretion and based solely on information contained in the review itself, or upon subsequent requests for clarification from the Reviewer, where we deem such clarification necessary Sincerely, [redacted]

I was under contract with Zillow for months and that contract expired I continued to use Zillow and they renewed the months contract During the second contract, my leads have dropped dramatically - I have a better profile and maintain a 5-star rating so there is no reason it should drop I asked to cancel my contract in April and it took a week to speak to my rep and he told me I had to stay until June Upon further research, I learned that I should be able to cancel with a 20% fee This was not presented and I am still trying to cancel my contract
