Zillow allows fake brokers
While the Zillow platform is very good for finding properties, and specifics of same, their security and vetting of brokers is simply horrible. I was approached by a “broker” listed on Zillow. He wanted to buy vacant land. Did a Docusign, he never placed the EMD, never made closing, and then (after tracking him to the cell phone repair store he owns….) I learned he had been arrested overseas. I followed with the state licensing department, to learn he is not licensed, yet Zillow allows him to list himself as a “broker”. I tried, four different times, to put a truthful review on the guys Zillow page, but the moderators won’t allow you to speak unkindly about any broker on their site. People Should be aware that Zillow has zero safeguard against fake brokers, and they won’t even follow with this guy to ask him about licensing, which every state requires.
