ZillowReviews of zillow.com

After using it for a few weeks it became more and more frustrating. There are genuinely decent listings but you have to scour through so many terrible or fake listings, they don't seem to get removed either. Just an unpleasant experience.

I've used Zillow multiple times to look for listings and it has always been a very mixed and poor experience. The listings are poor quality, a lot of them lead nowhere and the customer service is completely useless.

Lots of false info man, can't recommend it. Customer support isn't good either. You can find some good property but either way I'd rather use something else.

No one updates listings!!!! All these landlords and companies are completely PRICE gouging renters because they can. Paid zillow for a service 1 month ago, and only one lead. Prices aren't worth the areas or unit, for the sanity and peace of mind you forfeit. Also the race to view and apply for a unit has never been more ruthless and competitive.

Listings often outdated. Contacted a few places that were already off the market.

I work for a property management company that uses Zillow and honestly, Zillow is crap. First, it's confusing. People think they can book a showing through Zillow for our properties. We don't see any showing requests. Second, people think applying on there means we receive their application. We don't. They have to apply directly through our website and if they apply through zillow for one of our properties, they are wasting their money on whatever Zillow charges. Again, confusing for potential renters. Third, when someone calls us directly, the annoying "This is a Zillow lead" automated message plays, which sounds like a telemarketer call, which prompts us to erroneously hang up immediately when we hear that automated message, thinking it's a cold sales call. Fourth, potential renters do not understand that while their inquiry feeds through to our system, we get tons of those inquiries and do not have the staff to respond to each one, which is why we have an automated response email that many of them don't see. Fifth, when we remove a listing from our website, which should automatically remove the listing from Zillow, it doesn't happen. We've had people call about properties that we haven't managed in years saying they saw the property for rent on that site. Finally, we have an automated response email (as previously mentioned) that prospects are supposed to receive when they make the inquiry, but it often goes to their spam folders and they don't see the message with our phone number to contact us. Zillow is the worst out of all the mass rental websites.

The app itself is ok but Zillow need to stop promoting some of this nonsense these landlords need to be ashamed for putting some of this junk up for rent then have the audacity to ask a arm and leg Attention All Landlords no one wants to pay 1000.00 to live in a home where the windows haven’t been updated since 1960, and no one uses dirty funky brown carpet anymore,update your cabinets were not in the 1950’s my god ,and paint all your damn wall one descent color , put some good flooring down ,and have the house cleaned before a showing Some of you are terrible and down right cheap the law needs to crack down on landlord abuse then about 80 percent of you swindle people out of deposits people should start suing you all you should have your properties the way you would want to live 50% of the homes in stark counties look like abandoned homes on these rental sites and the city should be notified but this is what Zillow is getting paid to promote shame on you all.

5506 Seldomridge Rented a very old home for $2200 in addition to 2x year $500 for propane& electric bills over $400.! bc landlord converted heating system. Home is an old farmhouse with fields plowed several times week, thats no issue, its a farm...,expected that.....but Landlord said would be " some activity" on property. Beautiful piece of property, but in NO way should be rented for " Residential use." Day 1& EVERY DAY since we moved in, landlord,w/ young kids, dog..., many unknown adults, etc. were ON property, either outside, Very close to house, OR Inside Constantly.... converting heating system, etc, on roof, as he decided as we were LIVING there to replace roof,which took week, Constant Banging & workers. Replaced heating system while living there( another 4 days) which increased our electric bill over $180-$200 month.( dont forget you need propane since he converted,$500x2 Winter mths) He cuts grass which is Very short at....Least 2-3x week for ...Hours, absolutely Ridiculous waste of gas & time! Totally Distruprive to quiet& peaceful living. And Totally Unecessary. Plus constant weed wacking, .up on porch we sit on, with snow blower up against house,Why? We swept porch daily. He rents out the barns to contractors, who pull in loudly day& night very large trucks.His Buddies& they pull in driveway Minimal 3x day, huge, loud trucks, sit there over 45 min loud as Heĺl, on cell phones super loud, especially early a.m. Landlord tore up steps & lawn last June...& Again this Spring. No need !!! Pulled perfectly healthy beautiful bushes out this Spring as well,creating More water when rains downstairs, & More rodents easily getting down in there...Reason for this??? No reason. He tore down (3) silos that took 4 days complete One for $ He had a cat colony living on property, Constantly attacking My cats, we spent over $ 500 get them RESPONSIBLY neutered,rabies, etc. Helping hands( Megan) ,bless them on Their own time. One poor guy had tapeworms, infection, infected hole in his neck. Landlord has Zero regard for cats, ...nor residential tenants. In addition, our dryer broke w/ in one month of living there, dishwasher Sooo old, ⁸uses immense amount of electricity. Havent even mentioned Amish across street, down DAILY,banging on door or doorbell repeadedly, ask for favors, constantly , rides, food, charging their generators... ringing our doorbell repeatedly at 11 p.m!!! Called 7x..on Easter( have saved calls); no emergencies..then came to door! Weed whacking( theres No weeds against the home, or really...anywhere soo close to deck, home...?? Yet, soneone up on deck, immediatly by front door& deck, blowing who knows What? Nothing, 3-5 times week, forget about sitting outside on deck. Other than high end Country clubs, whom cuts their Short grass 3x week? NOT by any means, no matter how pretty property is this rental peaceful place to live, especially for $2300,CONSTANT loud noise, constant trucks and large machinery daily flying through driveway,CONSTANT landlord either on immediate rental property outside near home, or inside or on top of roof...which took Over a week While we lived....in home replace, had bats coming into home at night & water pouring into bedroom, literally OVER my bed! Landlord doesnt care about paying,Residential renters, he is sooo invasive& on property DAILY. For $2300, in....THAT area...with landlord on property Daily, as well as his commercial renters pulling in Constantly& Highly Rude, I HIGHLY suggest interested renters to Severely rethink. Plenty of quiet, non invasive homes/ landlords, Far lower price for what you get there... no quiet, Respect,a Garage, updated, efficient dishwasher, no feral cat colonies, Constant big trucks sit there forever. NO WINDOW SCREENS in downstairs windows. Fridge was Filthy when moved in& is old& VERY, Very tiny. Water gets all over basement floor even with untorrential rain. Its been (20) days, NO security deposit given back as of yet; house Far better condition as we left it than when we moved in. Dont get drawn in by the beautiful property view, So, so Not worth the $ or the daily Intrusions, you will have NO privacy& Constant loud noise& and zero peace.Are we renters not permitted or be able to enjoy privacy& peace,quiet??? And bc we took video/ photos day we moved in& day we left,showing home Far cleaner than when we moved in, this landlord either Produce full deposit, prorated minus week tops,..OR... will Go to court, fight bc we take supurb care of everything& Will not have a terrible& Highly Disrespectful Invasive landlord KEEP OUR $.HORRIBLE year living there.
