Zillow review reply templates
Zillow is the largest real estate marketplace in the US. Agent reviews influence how prospective clients choose a Realtor. These templates help agents reply professionally while staying on the right side of confidentiality and Zillow's review policies.
Zillow reply rules
- Zillow verifies reviews against transaction records.
- Never confirm that the reviewer was your client in a public reply.
- Never discuss transaction details, property addresses, or prices publicly.
- Replies are public and visible on your Zillow agent profile.
- Report fake or policy-violating reviews through Zillow's support team.
Tone notes
Professional, grateful, and discreet. Sign from a named agent or broker. Future clients read these for trust signals, not sales pitches.

FAQ
- Can I confirm the reviewer was my client?
- No. Even if the reviewer named you or the transaction first, confirming client status can breach confidentiality.
- Can I ask a client to remove a Zillow review?
- No. Zillow prohibits review manipulation, including asking for removal or offering incentives.
- Should I reply to every Zillow review?
- Reply to all reviews when possible. Active, professional replies are a strong trust signal for prospective clients.
