StreetEasy Real Estate Listing Practices Under Legal Scrutiny
Real estate professionals and property owners who have paid for listings on StreetEasy may have been subjected to unfair billing practices. It is alleged that StreetEasy, a real estate platform owned by Zillow, has engaged in deceptive practices, including:
- Charging a daily fee for property listings while later removing or masking those listings from public view.
- Continuing to bill agents and property owners even after their listings were no longer visible to potential buyers or renters.
- Failing to provide refunds or disclosures regarding the hidden listings.
If you have listed properties on StreetEasy and believe you were charged for services that were not fully provided, you may have legal rights.
