I recently noticed there are 25 pictures of my home on Zillow from when it was for sale that were not removed after we bought it. We closed over a year ago. Is there a way to have the photos removed off of Zillow. Why would they still be there? It just seems weird that anyone can type in my address and see all these photos of our house.

I would recommend you talk to the listing agent that put the photos up on Zillow. That person can probably get them down.

While you can probably get Zillow to remove them, once a photo is on the internet it's not likely to ever be completely gone. Many other websites take pictures from Zillow and other sources, including county assessor sites. Google your address and click Images and see if there are any other places with pictures of it.

I dont really see the concern but its very easy theres a feature right on the page of every home this is my home remove it or something along those lines or claim ownership of your home. Could be listing agent could be former owner who put up a listing or a make me move or something. I just noticed I have pics of my rental house up on there even thogh its been rented for 2 years.

Do this ^^^, claim "ownership" of the home, then it will allow you to remove the photos.

It's easy.

The concern is people doesn't want some creep studying the inside or outside of my home from his parents basement. That's why I even have Google blur out my home in street view.

It's not paranoia. I'm not giving a criminal any help it planning his deeds. With street view criminals have the ultimate tool to study a neighborhood. No longer do they need to drive through to case the neighborhood. It's a two edged sword.
