YES! I want my Rental Listings off of ZILLOW and TRULIA! They are providing INCORRECT Information!

By
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

I have stopped using my postlets account because they took my $250 and then "disappeared" $$$ and offered me something that I do not need as a rental agent.  UGH!

Now that our area rental market is so tight, rental prospects are branching out and searching on Zillow and Trulia and those listings are INCOMPLETE and they have the SALES information for the property.  DOUBLE UGH!

This listing has been placed through my website host under a "partnership" agreement and I have asked them to remove Zillow and Trulia from my migration sites for my listings.

Wallace - I hear you loud and clear!  These two monster sites are a pain to me also.  I will get a call on something they has as a listing at $1500. a  month and some person thinks it is for sale.  DUH!  I get calls on homes that have been sold months ago.

Zillow, Truilia and REALTOR.com are all coming under fire as the syndication issue is heating up. Our MLS is thinking of not allowing agents to post listings on these sites. It's because of the outdated and incorrect information. REALTOR.com is one of the biggest offenders. They are also selling our information. It will be interesting to see what happens as more people become aware of what posting your listings on these sites really means.

Wallace - how does this happen, I wonder? I have seen pictures on my for sale listings show up in a different order, but changing figures is an issue. As Debbie points out above, our MLS is changing our default syndication partners....

I'm REdirecting these inquiries 1X to my website and the contact/inquiry option and if they don't contact me from that, I am ignoring them....the sooner these sites are discredited, the sooner they will clean up their act!

Hi Wallace - The syndication issue is a big problem in the USA but not as big an issue in Canada ... yet.

I have changed my response to these inquires and am actually mentioning the fact that there is incorrect information on these sites.
