I want to take a moment of your time today to explain why Zillow is both a really good service and a poor one as well.

Zillow is a snapshot or a summary. They are great at compiling a lot of data and putting it in front of a consumer. Zillow isn't individually fine-tuned to your specific property or needs.
For example, the margin of error for Zillow's property value estimates can be anywhere from 8% to 13%. That's not to say that it isn't a decent place to start, just don't rely on it entirely.
"Zillow isn't individually fine-tuned to your specific property or needs."Also, Zillow has the tendency to keep property information on their website that is not up to date. This probably isn't because of quality issues but instead because there is so much data that is being uploaded from so many sources. It can't be easy to sort through all the data to keep it 100% accurate.
