Leave a Review Zillow Rentals
Incorrect credit scores reflected on application
The same old story, can’t reach them and no one responds. I am a former property manager using the app for the first time as a renter and very disappointed.
After getting scammed by a fake property manager from a Zillow ad, my credit score crashed. After working on recovering from that for 2 months, got it back to where is was before the Zillow scam. Ran another application today and it was EXACTLY the same from months prior!!!! Just wasted $35 for the application, but even more frustrating I’ll probably lose another rental thanks to their inept business. And this company is supposed to be the industry standard?lShow lessThey take your money only to raise the rent
I recently started using this app to look for an apartment. I thought I was tripping when a place that I looked at seem to have increased in price after I originally paid for an application to see the property. I sense then started screenshotting properties as soon as they get emailed to me. I am now certain that they are increasing the rent after they’ve received x amount of applications / contacts.
It’s almost as if they realized they priced a property too low, and then raise it once they received so many applications / contacts.
They use specially wording that implies that you will see the property once you fill out an application, which you have to pay for. So you’re being forced to pay for this, to see that. And most of the properties don’t even get back to you or confirm if times you’ve scheduled to see a properties work for them. Since then, I’ve filed claims through my credit card company.Show lessTerrible
I find this app to be quite ineffective. When you request to view apartments, there is often no response from realtors. Recently, I finally had someone reach out, made an appointment to see two apartments. He didn't have a realtor card after I had asked for It he texted me back saying he will send one when he gets to the office. Hours later he sends me a photo of the broker he worked for. Then, he sent me an application for the wrong apartment and asked for documents such as a picture of my Social Security card, which I found unusual since I’ve never been asked for that before. It felt like this was a scam because this person didn't have the proper credentials. Please be cautious about who contacts you. Ensure they are legitimate realtors before sending any documents. I had a bad feeling about this situation, and when I confronted him, he simply said he understood and left it at that, even though I was genuinely interested in the apartment. He also mentioned that I could pay $500 to lock in the apartment, which would prevent others from viewing it, and that if my application was denied, the $500 would be refunded. This was a major red flag for me.Show less
