Here in Santa Clara County, Zillow has dozens of inaccurate “Reported for Sale” listings and they also have “For Sale By Agent” listings assigned to the wrong agents. It’s a nightmare!

Jay,
I’m swiping this to run with, too. I have to run a few reports, but I won’t be surprised to see a similar result. Of course, I think it will tick someone off…

That makes me happy.
