Zillow vs. cyberhomes. WTH happened to Zillow?

[Anonymous]

Personally I don’t really care about their zestimates one way or the other. However, I and many others would love to sue Zillow for not responding to requests to correct information on their website. My case:

1. My house has a sold for price that has been there since November 2007. I have been asking them to remove it since November 2007 and at first they responded they would take care of it, it was a technically tough thing to do. Then they never fixed it. Now they wont even respond to my request to remove information that is not true.

2. Zillows automated system keeps putting my house up for sale every month even though it is not for sale. They at firs stated it is their automated system and that they would fix it. They have not and again no longer respond to my requests so every single month I have to go in to Zillow and remove my house as showing for sale.

In my view #2 is illegal. They are not a contracted realtor with me. They have no right to list my house for sale regardless of what automated system is doing it.

Once you complain enough, their staff just ignore you and since Zillow has not phone numbers for customer service there is nothing you can do.

Where is a class action suit lawyer when you need one?

VegasBaby,
Just forget about suing them. You’ll just end up wasting your money as you have no valid cause of action.

With regard to 1, I have two basic questions: 1) did something funky happen in 2007. I believe Zillow’s just pulls public records. If Zillow’s lists it as sold in 2007 and it didn’t sell, I’d take a drive down to the county records office and make certain your title is clean. 2) If it turns out to be just a computer error, then why worry about it.

With regard to 2, I have to question why you really care. If your house isn’t for sale, then there is no listing agent for buyers to get in touch with and it just makes Zillows look bad. You also presumably don’t have a For Sale sign in front of your house nor a lock box, so people aren’t going to be stopping by to tour the house. Regardless, there is nothing illegal about them making this mistake. And, it hurts you in no tangible way.

So relax, have a beer, and watch the Ducks try and retain the Cup.

It seems like Zillow “isn’t working” only when estimates are down. How interesting. 😉

I can easily see that happening.
Since “real estate never goes down”, the specs did not require the programmers to deal with negative growth.
