How to remove yourself from HomeFacts

HomeFacts compiles property profiles that combine owner names, sale history, and tax data with neighborhood-level details. Unlike most brokers it has no dedicated opt-out form, so removals go through its 'Report An Error' contact form. Responses are slow and the site frequently pushes back on public-record data, so persistence is needed.

What HomeFacts exposes

Homeowner names, ownership records, sale/purchase history with prices, tax assessments, property characteristics, neighborhood data.

Why removing yourself from HomeFacts matters

On HomeFacts, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull homeowner names, ownership records, sale/purchase history with prices, tax assessments, property characteristics, neighborhood data. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your HomeFacts listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.

Opting out of HomeFacts is more involved than most opt-outs — it works via online form (Report An Error), and removals usually process in 10-15 minutes. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws HomeFacts has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Because HomeFacts is one of the more stubborn sites to remove from, keep a copy of your request and be ready to follow up if your profile reappears.

Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official homefacts.com opt-out before entering anything.

Watch out: HomeFacts has no automated opt-out and may refuse removal by claiming the data is public record, so requests on legal letterhead reportedly get faster results.

Common questions

Removing yourself from HomeFacts, answered

Does HomeFacts have a real opt-out form?

No. There is no dedicated opt-out page, so you must submit a manual removal request through the 'Report An Error' form.

Why was my removal request denied?

HomeFacts often argues the information comes from public records and is therefore publicly available, so a clear, persistent request citing privacy concerns is important.
