I use Zillow quite often as a way to see what a listed home asking price is and also to see value of homes in certain areas. It is a good way to search for homes for sale in a certain area before you go looking around. It gives a good look at costs in a certain area. I would give a rating of 5, but there are some errors that come up with homes that say they are in repo but aren't.

Zillow is easy to use and I like the maps and being able to see home values whether they are for sale or not. The down side of Zillow is that sometimes homes are left on the site that are no longer for sale. This is a problem when i see what i want and inquire only to find it isn't on the market anymore. Feel like it may be on purpose to increase traffic and get names to sell to relators.

The good about Zillow, it is easy to search local areas, use filters and find listings. The bad: Zillow does a poor job at keeping its listings current. If you don't filter you will find a lot of listings are aged. Many are no longer on the market and the only reason they are there, it seems, is to drive you to meet with a realtor. We found that the listings were generally no longer on the market. Agents know that most listings on Zillow are not current. There are a lot of listing directed to you that show "pre-forclosure". These are completely useless and not accurate. The main sources on Zillow appear to be new developments that are pushing new construction. For the person looking for existing homes you are better off to find a good realtor who will only show you what you are looking for. Zillow looks well developed, is pleasing to the eye and has lots of features. It is just polluted with so much duff, that we lost interest in using it as a source and went with a realtor. There are better sites where the listings are kept more current.

Our family found a house because of Zillow. Zillow is a great resource if you are looking for any houses for sale or for rent based on which location you pick. I love how we can find our agents on there. It's super neat and useful when you are house hunting!

Zillow made searching for an apartment so easy. I really enjoyed how I could easily contact the agents within the app, making searching for my next home that much simpler! Plus, the app is updated in real time with new listings, so I was always up to date.

I found my current apartment on Zillow! I really loved how easy it was to search for specific characteristics that I was looking for in an apartment. Their website is very polished and easy to navigate. I highly recommend using Zillow to help you find your next apartment or home!

Zillow gave a great overview of tons of listings within the area in which we were looking. I loved using all their filters when conducting a search so I didn't have to look through listings that didn't fit what we were looking for. Their map feature is very helpful too! Allowing us to visualize where the home was located. I found, however, that many of the listings were out of date. Some of the properties had already sold. I wish it was more current.

Thanks to the ease of use, the Zillow app makes house hunting a breeze! I can look it up on-the-go, draw a geographic area to search within with my finger, search nearby, and the filters make it easy to narrow down the results to a most consise list of my needs.

Their website sucks I tried listing my home for sale a 3bed room bungalow and I waited for like 3days without any listing showing and I have to relist. I got mailed that I should verify that I was the owner which is impressive from there and I did and nothing to showing off from it with all the paper work I did taking through stress don’t even bother to call any customer service because it sucks if I could give it a zero rate I will because it doesn’t worth my 1 rate

I find that Zillow is extremely lackluster and perhaps that's just for my area but they never have what I'm looking for, they barely have any places listed on their site or app, and I'm not even sure what they're doing trying to compete with other companies like them out there. I want to like them and I continue to use them but I close the app as fast as I open it.

Customer support is totally non-existent. Phone calls are not accepted unless you are a realtor. When you list-be prepared for constant hounding by realtors from sunup to sunset. My home racked up 2338 views with 68 saves. I wondered why no responses-to express interest you click agent where they give my email-no phone number accepted-that`s for realtors. Anyway 4 acquaintances tried to contact my email and I received a big nothing. Ripoff-pure and simple. Wrote to them concerning this issue 5 days ago and a big zero for a response. BTW Trulia is also owned by this same group. If you value your sanity stay away.

Zillow is a great cite to browse real estate to get an idea of what the market is in your area and virtually tour homes without an agent from your couch.

These people are a nightmare!! We aren't even listed with them. Our home is not for sale, not in pre-foreclosure, not up for auction!! Our home has been in loan modification, was approved by our first lender, sold to another lender and is in final review. We have been told by our lender that all is approved. Zillow and Auction.com will not remove the false listing!! They both tell us to have the mortgage company just call them...Per both of our lenders, "we don't call Zillow or Auciton.com". Both mortgage companies are saying this is a scam and will be initiating legal action. We are in contact with our attorney as well. This happened the first time in Feb 2019, and was removed immediately by Zillow. Now somehow they just can't remove it. This was re-posted a week ago and now they won't remove it!! Avoid Auction.com and Zillow at all cost. They listed this on their own, we never contacted them.

When I was looking to buy a house, I enjoyed using Zillow. The only thing I didn't like was that houses would already be sold and they would still be up on zillow's site and it was kind of frustrating.

Ziillow is a great tool to find a house, but isn't necessarily the best tool to find a foreclosed home. A lot of time, the "foreclosed" listings on Zillow are outdated or are just ways to get your to look at a house even though it is not foreclosed. Best to look at real foreclosed sites to get real information. Zillow can help give ideas and pricing though.

Pros: -Rentals and properties for sale -Customizable -Lots of details given for most properties Cons: -Default option is that they add you to lots of spammy mailing lists, and you have to unsubscribe from each of them individually -Sometimes the status of a property that shows up on a search is confusing (a dot with no details/status given)

I work as a freelance agent and I am skilled at several different things this particular job was a data entry job posting several homes for sale or rent and when trying to list the properties with Zillow I received an error message and then my account was suspended for absolutely reason. Unfortunately for me it was a Saturday when this occurred and although I sent a message straight away I never received a response of any kind. It was after I believe my fourth attempt at posting a listing when I was finally able to get customer support who were very apologetic the issue was fixed.

This company is good for an overall list of properties and open houses. Up sides; the site has many filter options, easy to use, and it offers estimates on rates. Down sides; it sonetimes provides over estimates on homes, some information can be out dated or not up to date.

This website can be useful for certain things, like studying how the housing market can be manipulated. They have access to user data which gives them inside insights into which properties to buy. Their algorithm and home-flipping strategies are unethical and play a part in making homes unaffordable and screwing us all when it comes to accessible housing.

Great for searching local area. Previously I was also able to list my home for sale by owner, which they have since removed the option to do so. Also, opened the app once while on a road trip to see the home prices in the city/state we were traveling through. I never saved any search or anything, now the app constantly is trying to get me to purchase homes 6 states over, and I cannot find any way to disable this. Lastly, Zestimates are insanely inaccurate.

I have used Zillow many times, and each time, it seems to get better. I enjoy how easy the features can be used to see a property before going there in person. It makes the experience much more real, and when I have gone to see the properties, they are exactly like the description, photos, and everything on the website.
