Over a month ago, I wrote about Zillow’s transformation from a portal to a regulator when they announced the new Zillow Listing Access Standards (ZLAS). I have been complaining about and asking for the actual policy language, because if you’re in the policy game, news announcements, blogposts and podcast appearances are not enough.

Zillow finally released the policy language so now we can appropriately look at what the policy says, what it might mean, and analyze it. Zillow also released a guide for agents including a FAQ. While that isn’t policy language, it can help inform what the language means, similar to legislative history informing the meaning of the words in a statute.
