In early 2021, Zillow officially switched from being a consumer portal to an IDX site. In addition to this change, they have also made the decision to manage rentals in a new fashion, through their Zillow Rental Manager product.
*** These changes have no effect on for sale listings. Those will still be syndicated to Zillow, at no cost, through an IDX feed from SmartMLS. ***
There are several steps that must be completed in order for your rental listings to appear on Zillow sites.
- The office's Broker must first opt into Zillow's Feed Connect service ( SmartMLS has nothing to do with this process). For more information, and to authorize your office's account, please email Zillow at rentalfeedinquiries@zillowgroup.com. Zillow will work with the Broker to facilitate the office's listings being displayed on their sites.
- After your office is set up with Feed Connect, you (as a listing agent) must use the Zillow Rental Manager to claim your own rental listings. Click here for more information on Rental Manager.
- Zillow rental listings are based on a subscription model and fees may apply per listing.
