🏠 Three Reasons Not to Trust Zillow

Zillow might be the first app people turn to when they start browsing for homes — but here’s what most buyers don’t realize:

1. 💸 The Home Values Are Often Way Off

Zillow’s “Zestimates” are based on national algorithms, not local expertise.
They often misjudge pricing by tens of thousands — especially in neighborhoods with unique layouts, remodels, or updates not reflected in public records.

🛠️ Example: Zillow doesn’t know about that brand-new roof or the unfinished basement — it’s just guessing based on nearby averages.

2. 📞 They Sell Your Data

When you use Zillow, you’re not just looking at homes — you’re becoming a lead.
Your clicks, searches, and contact forms are shared with multiple agents, lenders, and third parties.

That’s why users often report being bombarded with calls, emails, and messages — even after they stop searching.

3. 🤷 “Find an Agent” Isn’t What You Think

Clicking that button doesn’t connect you to a local expert.
Instead, Zillow sends your inquiry to several agents — many of whom paid for that visibility — not necessarily the best match for your needs.

You’re not choosing your agent — you’re being sold as a lead.
