Realtor.com is one of the most visited real estate platforms in the United States, operated by Move, Inc., a subsidiary of News Corp. The site displays extensive property information including owner details, home values, listing photos, and transaction histories sourced from MLS databases and public records. If your home is listed on Realtor.com and you want to protect your privacy, here is how to remove your information.
What Information Does Realtor.com Display?
Realtor.com builds detailed profiles for properties across the country. Your home's page may include:
- Your property address and neighborhood data
- Home value estimates and price history
- Property tax assessments and amounts paid
- Home features, square footage, lot size, and number of rooms
- Interior and exterior photos from current or past listings
- Sales history including dates and prices
- School ratings and nearby amenities
- Nearby recent sales and comparable properties
Even homes that are not currently for sale appear on Realtor.com with property details pulled from public records and MLS history.
How to Remove Photos From Realtor.com
Interior photos are the most common privacy concern. They can reveal your home's layout, security setup, personal belongings, and daily living patterns. Follow these steps:
Method 1: Use the My Home Dashboard
- Go to realtor.com/myhome: Visit the My Home section of Realtor.com
- Enter your address: Type your property address and click the search icon to find your home
- Claim your home: Follow the verification steps to prove you are the homeowner. This typically requires confirming personal information associated with the property
- Access the dashboard: Once verified, navigate to your My Home dashboard
- Remove photos: Click the Remove Photos button to request removal of listing photos from your property page
Method 2: Contact Support Directly
- Go to support.realtor.com
- Click Contact Support or Submit a Request
- Select the category related to property listings or privacy
- Provide the property address and listing URL
- Request removal of photos and explain your privacy concerns
Six-Month Waiting Period
Realtor.com typically imposes a six-month waiting period after a property is sold before you can request changes to the listing. During this period, the property page with photos and sale details will remain visible. Plan your removal request accordingly.
How to Remove Your Property Listing
Complete removal of your property page from Realtor.com is more difficult because the site aggregates data from public records. However, you can take these steps:
- Contact the listing agent: If your home was recently listed or sold, the listing agent can request removal of the listing data from the MLS. This cascades to Realtor.com and other syndicated sites
- File a privacy request: Submit a formal data deletion request through Realtor.com's privacy policy page, citing your rights under CCPA or your state's privacy law
- Email privacy support: Send an email to Realtor.com's privacy team with the subject line "Data Deletion Request" including your name, property address, and a clear statement that you want your personal information removed

Also Remove From Related Sites
Realtor.com is just one of many real estate platforms that display your property information. To fully protect your address privacy, also remove your data from:
- Zillow and Trulia: Both owned by Zillow Group, accessible through privacy.zillowgroup.com
- Redfin: Unclaim your home through the Owner Dashboard
- PropertyShark: Focuses on detailed property records including ownership information
- Rehold: Aggregates property ownership data and sale records

Protect Your Address Across the Entire Internet
Real estate sites are only part of the problem. Your home address also appears on dozens of data broker and people-search sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, and Whitepages — where anyone can find it with a simple name search. PrivacyOn automatically removes your personal information from over 100 data brokers and continuously monitors for re-listings. With 24/7 dark web monitoring and family plans starting at $8.33 per month, PrivacyOn is the most comprehensive way to keep your address private.
Long-Term Address Privacy
Removing your information from Realtor.com is one step, but public property records will continue to be a source of address exposure. For long-term protection:
- Consider holding property through an LLC or trust to keep your name off public ownership records
- Use a P.O. box or registered agent for public filings and mail
- Use a data removal service like PrivacyOn for continuous monitoring and removal from data brokers that aggregate property records
- Set up Google Alerts for your name and address to catch new appearances online
