Hi esheer -
I do apologize for the inconvenience.
I am contacting the feed provider now as am writing this. I will post another comment once they have updated the feed that is sending this listing on Zillow.
Thank you for your patience.

I hate scam listing companies. Zillow can get the feed fixed and if the company is a scam, they can shut off their feed. I have flagged your question hoping that someone from Zillow will be able to help get it removed permanently.
As an owner, you should have the right to have you house NOT listed for sale. Hope the flag helps.

Thanks for removing it, but because of the feed, it was back in a few days. The listing agent is some sort of scam company that doesn't answer their phones. If you remove it and I list it for sale, would the feed still override that? I think it's ridiculous that a feed would list someone's house for sale. I can't imagine that there's no solution to this.

Kudos to the rep for telling you where the listing is coming from on the autofeed. Many agents, myself included, likely do not know all of the details on the feeds leading in to Zillow. I had one listing that was on here multiple times. Best of luck with getting it offline everywhere...if it's here, it's elsewhere apparently.

I wish we had a reaper with your dedication!
Sorry for all the whining over the years (sort of:-)

broker_GRI,
We have a customer service team that is dedicated to solving customer issues, but a lot of us from the product team scan through the forums to check the pulse of the site and what problems or ideas are discussed here.
Also some of us have problems distinguishing work from a hobby... :)

esheer,
I removed the listing from Zillow. This listing came to us from a feed provider that still considers this listing active and is distributing it to various real estate sites. The listing agent that you purchased your home from must have forgotten to remove it.
Here is the link to the original, you might want to check there to ensure your home is not listed on other real estate sites. I will pass it on to our feed team as well to raise this issue with the feed provider.

About 200 employees for about 12.5 million users during a month, managing about 160 million web pages. Even more if you count all the JPG photo pages.
Even if one uses the "report a problem" and a Zillow person removes the listing from Zillow, if the AutoFeed from another site is still there, it comes right back at the next AutoFeed polling (essentially every night).
They usually correct the issue without sending any notification, unless you ask for notification in the report.

I get the impression that Zillow is running on a very very lean staff, so doesn't respond to the bulk of the flags.

I was in a forum the other day with a person from Zillow and they are trying to address these types of problems. I'm sure they will get this rectified.

I flagged your thread. Lets see if they check it out, and do something this time. Good luck.
Why does Zillow ignore my flags?
I have also flagged the listing no less than 20 times over a period of two months and Zillow has not sent one acknowledgement or confirmation of receipt. This is extremely unprofessional and to a certain extent juvenile. Stop being lazy and fix my listing.
