The MLS listing for a house we purchased last summer "accidentally" overstated SF by including the unfinished basement which nearly doubled the SF. I noticed that Zillow is showing the incorrect SF and even as owner I am unable to modify, "to bring you the most up to date housing information... for some off market homes, including yours, editing home facts is not currently available." It is correct in some other similar sites (and on the county site) but am I wrong to be bothered by this?

Doesn’t really matter unless you are trying to sell or refinance or lower your tax bill.

I tried submitting a support ticket to zillow but their flowery response basically said it is what it is and closed the ticket. I guess I'm just concerned that future buyers will look back and see we purchased it $x/SF and not appreciate any improvements we make (including likely finishing the basement). I feel like I will also screw up/reduce the zestimates for the same reason.

No. As long as your agent lists it correctly when you sell in the future, it’s fine. Your county site should list it as “finished sqft below grade” and “unfinished sqft below grade” and your Realtor should list it the same way. Zillow is not the definitive source of info and most people know it can be inaccurate.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
