Where is my listing on Zillow?

If you don’t see your property on Zillow, the fastest way to check is with RentEngine’s Syndication Status report. It shows every listing we’ve sent, Zillow’s latest response, and what to do next.

We syndicate to all major sites, but Zillow is a key source of leads—this guide focuses on it.

Check the Syndication Status report

1. In RentEngine, go to Intelligence and scroll right to Syndication Status.
2. Set the time filter at the top (e.g., Last 7 days; expand to Last 30/90 days if needed).
3. The table refreshes with your listings and statuses.
4. Use the toolbar at the bottom of the table to adjust Columns, add Filters, change Density, and Export as PDF/CSV.

You can confirm the listing is on Zillow coming from Rentengine when you see this wording at the bottom of the description:

Why the Zillow link may not open from Intelligence tab

If the Zillow link in the Syndication Status table doesn’t take you to a live post, Zillow likely hasn’t finished updating the connection yet. You can always double-check by searching Google for:

<property address> site:zillow.com

Old “off-market” or “for sale” pages you find on Google

Sometimes you’ll find an old Zillow page in Google (often marked off market or from a prior for sale listing). That’s an archived listing Zillow keeps for every property to show Zestimate history and photos. Google frequently indexes those archived pages and may rank them highly.

Neither RentEngine nor Zillow can control how Google ranks or displays those archived results. What matters is the current rental listing status shown in the Syndication Status report and on Zillow’s live rental detail page once processing completes.

Here’s a compact summary of the most common reasons a listing isn’t appearing on Zillow, plus the fastest fix:

• Pending syndication result → Zillow is still processing.

Do: Wait ~24 hours and recheck.

• Not Posted — Duplicate → Another source is posting the same unit (PMS, MLS, owner/agent, previous provider).

Do: Find and remove the other source; keep RentEngine as the only feed.

• Not Posted — Invalid Data → Required fields missing/incorrect (address, unit #, beds/baths, rent, photos).

Do: Complete/fix fields in RentEngine; allow 4–8 hours to reprocess.

• Not Posted — Unpaid not allowed → A paid contract is required (e.g., Zillow Multifamily 24+ units).

Do: Set up/confirm contract and have it connected to the RentEngine feed.

• Not Posted — Blocked → Policy/eligibility/listing-quality issue (unsupported type, graphics in photos, repeated conflicts).

Do: Fix per Zillow guidelines and republish.

• Not Posted — Deleted → Listing was deactivated or removed during/after processing.

Do: Ensure syndication is ON and republish if needed.

• Posted, except some models (multifamily) → Some floorplans/units failed validation.

Do: Fix unit-level fields; ensure unique unit IDs; verify contract rules.

• Intelligence link doesn’t open Zillow page → Zillow hasn’t finished updating the connection.

Do: Double-check via Google search for the address; recheck later after processing.
