If I wanted the property I would be on the phone with title company and the lender or finding a new lender who would lend on this. 

You're going to have to contact Zillow by phone to solve this.

Some of them have phone numbers as well, but pretty much all of them are marked as Do Not Contact.Does this seem like an effective track to stay on?

We gave him 56k in deposits and he will not even pick up his phone or engage in a conversation.

Of course emails and phone calls are going unanswered.

I've been doing this basically my whole life and I can tell within about 5 minutes of a phone conversation if I'm dealing with somebody that I can trust and also dealing with somebody that knows how this system works.

So, you knew right away that this was something that YOU should have been able to solve over the phone by asking them to check this switch???
