Trying to post FSBO ( for sale by owner) on Zillow but it is not allowing me?

Posted Apr 12 2024, 12:22

Ive been trying to post FSBO on zillow for 2 weeks in Central Florida. Ive submitted the Land on there website and all it says its " they will contact me in 2 business days but never get contacted. Ive apply on two different accounts and sent customer service emails and no response.

Has anyone had trouble posting a FSBO on Zillow either?

Why are you trying to get it on Zillow? Just list it on the MLS as a FSBO and it will automatically end up on all the other sites...

Have you ‘claimed’ the house as yours on Zillow. Once you own it, you should claim it. I don’t think the cross reference with public records, but maybe that doesn’t match or something?
this is just another reason to use a Realtor….or at
minimum use a flat fee service so it gets syndicated out to all the sites.

I though I can just post it right from zillow. I dont have access to the MLS but I guess I can get with a platform that post it for me for a fee.

I got it from a tax deed and propstream shows im the owner of the land already. I also didnt know I have to claim the land on zillow. I though it was just Post it and thats it from zillow. Would you  recommend a platform that would allow me to pay to have it posted

thanks for the information btw

If you're positive you want to sell it yourself then there are brokers that will let you list for as little as $99. But be sure, it is not easy and generally, a good agent is well worth it!

 When you go to Zillow, put in your address and in the upper right corner you have "edit, save, share & more", click on more and then a drop down menu has 'claim as your home'. 

Call Rob at Sandollar Realty in Orlando, he does flat fee listings and can help you out, he is an extremely seasoned investor and broker. Just noticed that you are saying land, so there is no home? that could be the issue, but not sure. I've got several land investors that I could probably get it sold for you. PM me the details and I can send it to a few people.

I just went through this today. You have to submit a ticket with Zillow and hope they reach out to you. They will want you to provide information that can't be gotten online and unfortunately, most things related to deeds/tax bills in Florida can be gotten online. Also, Zillow places FSBO listings in a hard-to-find location on their website (separate tab). You can list on websites like HomeCoin for $95 and that'll put it on the MLS and therefore Zillow for you.

In addition, I'd post on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, LandSearch, LandCentury.  All have free options to post your property.
