a. Advertising Listings. Except as provided in this section 1(a), listings (regardless of the type) may only be advertised by the real estate Agent (the "Agent") who is the contracted, exclusive listing Agent for such listing. A listing may also be advertised by the exclusive listing Agent's broker owner or team lead. A broker owner or team lead that advertises a listing on behalf of the listing Agent must update their profile on the Services so it represents the team or company instead of an individual Agent. This can be done by changing the screen name and profile picture. Once a profile represents the office, permission from the listing Agent is also required for the broker owner or team lead to advertise another Agent’s listings.
b. Claiming Listings. If you mistakenly claim a listing, you must promptly release such claim on the listing. If you mistakenly claim a listing that is provided to Zillow Group via a data feed, you must promptly contact the source of the data feed to cancel the listing. You may also cancel a listing on Zillow via the My Listings section of your Zillow account. You may delete a listing from your profile on Trulia via the Claimed Homes tab of your Trulia Account. If you claim a listing that has already been claimed by another party, the original party will be notified. Please notify the Zillow Listing Support Team at listingsupport@zillow.com if you believe that someone has erroneously claimed a listing on Zillow. Please notify the Customer Support Team at customerservice@trulia.com if you believe that someone has erroneously claimed a listing on Trulia. You can also use the “Report Listing” option at the top of the property page to request further investigation.

f. New Construction and Spec Homes. Zillow Group offers a product for new construction and developments and strongly prefers that the corresponding data be provided to Zillow Group directly by the builder. As long as the builder has granted you the exclusive right to advertise a listing, you may advertise it on the Services. Zillow Group may require that you provide the listing contract(s) that verify you have an exclusive right to advertise the listing. If Zillow Group is unable to verify that you are the contracted, exclusive listing Agent, Zillow Group may remove the listing(s) and/or your claim on the listing(s). If the new construction/spec home does not have an established address Zillow Group may require you to use a third party feed provider to properly provide the listings to Zillow Group.

If you do not want to disclose the address, you must use a syndication service that allows you to opt out of displaying the address online. If you do not have syndication service, consider signing up for Postlets. If Zillow Group is unable to verify a listing with an incomplete address, Zillow Group may remove the listing at any time, without warning.
