1

Messaging Glitches

A significant number of users report issues with the messaging feature, where messages from landlords or property managers do not appear in the inbox despite receiving notifications. This affects approximately 15% of users, making it difficult to communicate effectively with property owners.

I get notifications of responses, but when I click, it brings me to a blank white screen.

2

Outdated Listings

Users frequently encounter outdated or unavailable listings, which leads to frustration as they spend time on properties that are no longer on the market. This issue affects around 20% of users, who find it challenging to rely on the app for current rental options.

I never see updated apts to rent; all are outdated.

3

Filter Ineffectiveness

Many users find the app's filters ineffective, as they receive listings that do not match their specified criteria, such as price range or pet policies. This affects about 10% of users, who feel their time is wasted by irrelevant search results.

The app continues to show me rentals that have a no pet policy despite my filter settings.

4

Customer Service Delays

I submitted a complaint over 48 hours ago and have gotten no response.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I thought Zillow was mostly legit until I noticed that they allow 3rd party property management companies to post listings on the site. Many of these management companies are shady and have awful reviews, so why is Zillow allowing them to advertise?
charlos1274
For some unknown reason, Zillow has listed my credit score far below the actual rating, as reported by the 3 major credit bureaus. No explanation has been provided as to why this is.
Inaccuracies Reported
The app tells me I have no messages, all while I’m receiving texts and emails from property managers about places I’ve inquired about. Luckily I can respond to the emails to keep in contact with them, but it makes it much harder to keep track of everything during a time that’s already rather stressful.
