Frequently Asked Questions
How often will my Listings update on Zillow?
Aptly has built out the ability to push real-time feed updates to Zillow. To push any updates on a Listing or to list a newly Listed property, click on the Zillow button located on the left side of the Marketing Data toggle in your Listings.
Pushing this request will notify Zillow that they need to pull that listing’s marketing data.
How do I update the notification settings for lead emails?
In the syndication settings, you can select who gets notified from Zillow.
Why are my Listings showing under a Building?
If the Unit Type is set to Apartment, your listing will show under a Building due to this unit type being a special field in the data set. If you would like to have your Listing outside of a Building, update the Unit Type to Condo.
