## TL;DR

Sign in to Zillow Premier Agent → My Reviews and post a public response. Never reference transaction specifics, addresses, or prices — those violate real-estate confidentiality and can trigger a MLS complaint.

## Overview

Zillow agent reviews shape lead quality more than volume. A single unresolved negative can cost thousands in commissions. Here's the confidentiality-safe playbook.

## Steps

### 1. Open Zillow Premier Agent dashboard

premieragent.zillow.com → Reviews. Reply-eligible reviews show a Respond button.

### 2. Keep transaction details out

No addresses, no prices, no timeline specifics. 'I'm sorry the process didn't meet your expectations' is safer than 'the closing was delayed by X'.

### 3. Offer a call, not an email

Real estate disputes usually need a conversation. Give a direct number.

### 4. Request updated reviews thoughtfully

Once a dispute is resolved, ask the client if they'd consider updating — Zillow allows edited reviews.

## FAQ

### Can Zillow remove a review?

Only for policy violations (spam, competitors, personal attacks). Legitimate negative reviews stay up regardless of accuracy.

### Do Zillow reviews affect lead assignment?

Indirectly — agents with higher ratings and reply rates get preferential display in Zillow Premier Agent placements.
