What this means for you

The updated terms establish explicit consent for Zillow to contact you through email, phone calls, text messages, and in-app features using automatic dialing systems and prerecorded voices. These communications may include advertising or marketing offers alongside transactional messages. Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier, and contact frequency will vary based on your account activity. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and calls with Zillow employees may be recorded for quality control and internal business purposes.

What you can do

Review the new Consent to Receipt and Recording of Communications section in the updated Terms of Use.

If you prefer not to receive text messages from Zillow, reply STOP to any text message to opt out of SMS communications.

Note that call recording applies to conversations with Zillow staff; declining consent is not an option, only opting out of specific SMS messages.
