How to Appeal Your Zillow Fees Hassle-Free

Zillow is an online real estate market company that shows available and recently sold houses, apartments, and land parcels. You can browse houses for sale as well as rentals in your area when you're looking for a new home. Like most platforms, though, you’ll also encounter Zillow fees. They also offer a tool called "Zestimate" that provides information about current home values and public information such as property taxes and nearby school ratings.

People can use Zillow to list their own properties for sale or rent, as well as initiate rental agreements or start the homebuying process. However, although browsing is free, following through with some of these services has associated fees.

This guide will walk you through the most common Zillow fees and what each one costs. It will also give you options to fight and waive fees incurred when using Zillow with DoNotPay's help. We can also help you with cryptocurrency problems like Coinbase fees or Robinhood fees.

How Much Does Zillow Charge Per Transaction?

As a home buyer or renter, if you are just beginning the process of looking at homes to rent or buy with Zillow, it's completely free to use. If you are a homebuyer or are listing your home for sale on Zillow, you will not pay fees. However, the way Zillow allows people to list their homes for free is by having you agree to let them sell your information. Therefore, you will receive a lot of phone calls and emails from prospective agents and lending companies wanting to work with you.

As a renter looking for properties on Zillow, there are service fees you will pay to use Zillow tools. They include:

• A one-time $29 fee to apply for a rental property. This fee allows you to apply to an unlimited number of properties for 30 days.
• A 2.95% processing fee to pay Online Rent Payments by credit card
• A $9.95 convenience fee to pay Online Rent Payments by debit card

After some time, these fees may add up, especially if your landlord requires you to pay rent using Zillow's Online Rent Payment tool. You might even have to deal with PayPal fees if that's how you pay your rent. Living with these fees doesn't need to be a given. Below are a few ways to contact the company and try to dispute paying Zillow fees on your own.
