How reliable is Zillow for a Seattle apartment search?

For the unclear transaction step, I’d use a simple sequence: discover, verify status and unit, clarify who is responding, request the relevant property details, then arrange the next step. Don’t submit sensitive information merely because a contact button makes the process look continuous.
 
One caveat on map-pin accuracy: a pin can still be useful for neighborhood-level filtering without being dependable at building level. Use the written address or details supplied during contact before making any location-sensitive decision.
 
Noor’s grouping idea is the best duplicate compromise. Let people expand a group and compare conflicting fields rather than choosing one entry as authoritative. Differences in price, area or status are exactly what a buyer needs to see.
 
Kenjip, based on the issues you found, I wouldn’t rely on one feature to establish trust. Use Zillow for coverage and alerts, then maintain a short verified list with exact unit, floor area, current status, map location and advertiser response. That keeps the useful reach without letting stale or duplicated entries drive the decision.
