Does Zillow show agents the offers I've received?
I was selling a rental as a FSBO. An agent that I had no relationship with drove to my house to "help" me. She showed me a printout of my FSBO ad on Zillow and said she knew that I had received a lowball offer that, in fact, I had never received, but it was close to a lowball offer that I had received only by text. That lowball offer was from, I'm guessing, a wholesaler, and the agent wanted to assure me that it was a "scam." She said, "They sell those contracts over and over." This was how she was "helping" me. Why would she claim to know about an offer I had received, or an offer very similar to one I had received? Does Zillow make such information available to agents?

I don't think it was Zillow. My guess is the wholesaler sold you as a lead to a realtor out of spite when his lowball didn't net him a contract. Sometimes wholesalers and unscrupulous agents like to play "good cop bad cop" with the leads they pass around.
