My home is listed through a realtor, he needs to be taken off! Please see below!

Profile picture for jkzimm04
We listed our home back in July of 2011 through a realtor. We found some very shady things out about this realtor and we pulled out house off of the market within a month. He for some strange reason (possibly to keep tabs to see if we were going to list it through another agent??? I just am not sure why) the listing on zillow was removed when we pulled it in August of 2011 but it is relisted through the same agent in October 2011.When I logged in and was looking over my home on Zillow I noticed a link that lead to a virtual tour and showed this realtor as a listing agent and I was going to remove it and could not because this realtor relisted it when in actuality my house is NOT for sale!!! Strange thing is, I remember logging onto Zillow and all of the pictures in the virtual tour were listed directly on Zillow. Now the pics are gone except for one on Zillow and I need to click on the virtual tour to see the pics!! Help!! I want him off of my zillow account ASAP!! I ALSO would like any input as to why you think this realtor would do this! To me it's confirming that he is a sheister!! Thank you!!!

He was probably just to lazy to remove it from all of his automatic feeds....seems like realtors do this a lot. So houses are removed from the market (sold or just removed) and the unprofessional ones don't check to make sure EVERYTHING was taken care of. I'll flag your post, so a Zillow employee can help.

I agree with quinton.cindy, probably just lazy and he forgot to remove it from the data feeds that go to Zillow.   If you go to the bottom of the home details page, you can find the listing website in blue.   Contact the agent and ask him to remove it from the listing website (don't even mention Zillow).   Without removing from the listing website, it will just keep popping up everywhere.  (Have you googled your address recently?)

So basically if they don't remove it, the status will change from "listing removed" to "listed for sale" two months later, just because the realtor did not follow up with Zillow?

The issue isn't about the agent not following up with Zillow - the issue is whether or not their feed is active.   Some agents appear to make their feeds temporarily inactive, and then after a month or three it reactivates automatically.     Consider it like a radio station sending out signals.  My radio will pick up the signals as long as the station broadcast, but the radio is simply receiving and not the source.      Similarly,  Zillow will pick up the feed as long as it is broadcast. 

If I were in your shoes, I would google my address first thing because it is very rare that a feed goes to Zillow only.   Hence, it is critical that the feed be cut off at the source (totally deleted) rather than made inactive.

Zillow can block feeds, but it doesn't inactivate the feed source.  The feed will still send out the info to all and sundry.
