Over the years I have helped thousands (seriously) of sellers through our website instaMLS service. A buyer who purchased one of our sellers homes spent months trying to get the listing photos removed from 3rd party partner sites like Zillow, Realtor, Trulia. This buyer was extremely concerned about privacy. He was relentless. Contacted me monthly. I contacted all the people I could to resolve the issue. He was grateful that I pushed things along but I personally felt sites like Zillow were unhelpful and somewhat disrespectful. For anyone who wants help getting listing information removed from Zillow. Please see a copy of the agreement zillow makes agents agree to. Jump down to the 5th paragraph in bold to learn how to get listing information removed.
