Zillow does not only pull data from Postlets - they pull from many forms of Real Estate marketing, Virtual Tours, Real Estate Shows, List Hub and on and on.... your question about why there is no agent - is simply answered that - most of the foreclosures without an agent are not yet on the market - and companies like Realty Track, Foreclosure.com and so on want you to sign up and pay for their services.

If a property is 'labeled' foreclosure or has a link to foreclosure.com this is a paid ad from foreclosure.com. They put foreclosed properties onto Zillow to entice folks to sign up for their service.
If your agent friend wants to list a property on Zillow, they can either use a broker feed or use a site like postlets.com to get their listing on for free. They would need to have a Zillow account and use the same email address on both their Zillow account and the postlets.com account in order to edit their listing.

It depends on the Agents Profile and/or if they even have one set-up...

Because Zillow feels it is ok to show homes that are truly not on the market but that the home owner is in trouble - these home owners could very well save their homes - yet sites like this show them as for sale when in all honesty they are homes that are in some stage of the foreclosure process - they are not foreclosures until the bank takes possession of them which only happens about 50% of the time - sad but true many sites like Zillow, Realty Track feel that it is appropriate to make show these homes - when in my personal opinion it is acting like a vulture -
Why do the foreclosures not say the agent who is selling it?
