Arguments

id	the property identifier. This can be a the Zillow property identifier, (i.e. a number something like 24842790 which is obtained from a previous call to the Zillow API) or it can be a character vector of length 2 giving the house number and street in the first element, and the zip code or city and state in the second element.
zillowId	the Zillow Web Services ID (ZWSID) that allows you to make calls to the Zillow API. See https://www.zillow.com/webservice/Registration.htm.
count	the number of comparables to return in the result. This should be a positive number and the current limit allowed by the Zillow API appears to be 30.
...	additional parameters passed on to the getForm call. These allow the caller to customize/parameterize the Web request, e.g. reusing an existing connection via a curl handle, changing the HTTP headers, etc.
