Don’t Let Zillow Dictate Your Listings: How Agents Can Stay in Control in 2025

Zillow’s latest listing restrictions have left many real estate agents frustrated. If you've recently had your listings removed off of Zillow, you're not alone. But here’s the good news: RealTrade is stepping in to give agents their power back.

Zillow’s Restrictions: What’s Happening?

Zillow has introduced new guidelines that limit agents with any property listing that has been publicly marketed to consumers — whether through yard signs, in social media posts or on a brokerage website — but not listed on the local MLS within one business day, will no longer appear on Zillow or its daughter company, Trulia. See recent USA Today Article.

This policy has made it harder for agents to:

• Build personal brand awareness
• Receive direct buyer and seller inquiries
• Fully control their own listings

For agents who rely on online visibility to grow their business, this is a significant setback.

RealTrade’s Response: Empowering Agents, Not Limiting Them

At RealTrade, we believe your listing should mean your lead. Unlike platforms like Zillow that reroute buyers and seller leads to the highest bidder and remove your brand from your own content, we’re doing the opposite.

RealTrade is a free real estate platform that gives agents the exposure and tools they need — without sacrificing control or visibility.
