Remove "Auction" from my new property on Zillow

[Peter Wisber]

Hi folks,

I recently (December 31, 2020) purchased a home that was listed as "Auction" on Zillow. I'm now trying to figure out how I can remove the property from being listed as "Auction" on Zillow so that I can use the Zillow rental manager to re-list. I attempted to "claim" the property and edit on Zillow, but was hit with this message:

Since your home is listed by an agent, you will not be able to make changes to it. Please ask your listing agent to make any desired changes.

Yet, there's no contact of a listing agent. I believe this property was listed by a Zillow bot that identified it was going to auction through the MLS.. I spoke with my agent who helped me with the the short-sale and he was scratching his head. Let me know if anyone has experience with this as I would love any advice.

Thanks in advance!
