Zillow can help you find the home of your dreams—one that contains all of your must-haves, is a reasonable distance from work, and falls (kind of) within your budget. The app offers resources for every step in the process, from attending open houses to picking an agent to understanding the intricacies of the mortgage market.

This app is so invasive that it demands all your time, Particulars for those that are more discerning in the search for life accommodations. It stays active even when you want to sleep. It pops open after you initiate a conversation with it.

Think of the most pushy car sales person you ever met who is also a dentist and learned sales on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange. If you like that kind of thing Z is your seller, but if you want support in making a difficult financial and life decision, well oops it's about the only thing available. But it will try to force you into neighborhoods wake you and put you to bed won't let you rest until you pick one and delete all remnants of it from all your devices. In that way it is satisfactory because after you make a decision you get to murder this irritating and obnoxious sales person and you will never want to make another purchase! You will also likely settle for less than you want since the irritation is constant and complete that you are imprisoned by it's overwhelming and constant presence!

I feel like I’m going crazy because this app recommends me the same apartments over and over again and I message the property owners multiple times because I never heard back from them and there is no way to report to Zillow that you are being ignored via the messages. It’s not even a property owner who hides the email or phone number in the listing, I cannot get ahold of 80% of these people.

Also, if my search says pets, I don’t want to be shown no pet apartments. It is a waste of my time to go through apartments and save them only to realize that the search filter didn’t work and is showing me apartments that do not allow pets at all.

Overall, I have only been able to visit two apartments and I have at least messaged 10 this week alone. It seems very evident that property managers are not active with this app, which means it is a waste of time for me because if I can’t get a hold of them, then I’m going to be stuck waiting and then my lease will be up. If Zillow wants this app to be better, I really think they need to add an option within the app, within the messages, that allows you to notify Zillow when you haven’t received a response in five business days or whatever requirement they didn’t fit. I have months old messages that have been ignored and I never heard back. It’s very frustrating and I’m likely going to move to other websites and apps now.
