In the information age, accuracy has become increasingly important. Here’s where you can find the most accurate information about your home’s value.

Homebuyers and home sellers can become very frustrated with some of the numbers that they see online. I get people asking me all the time about homes that actually aren’t available for sale. Some prospective buyers think that a property is available because of what they see online, but that information isn’t always accurate. Sites like Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com don’t get updated every day, or even every week in some cases.
On the other hand, my website pulls from the direct MLS feed every 15 minutes. By utilizing this kind of search site, you will get the most updated information available on the properties you’re looking at.
Double check any information you get with a professional.
Another thing you want to look out for as a seller is the estimates that these sites give you. Studies show that Zestimates from Zillow can be anywhere from 10% to 20% off. That’s a huge margin of error, especially in our market. Double check any information you get from a site like this with a professional like myself. I can come out to assess the true value of your home and determine a pricing strategy where we can get it sold in the shortest amount of time.
Finally, make sure that you’re pre-approved or pre-qualified for the properties that you're looking at online. Talk with a lender first. If you need a recommendation for a good local lender, I’d be glad to help out.
These are a few of the biggest pieces of information that you’ll likely want to get from a professional instead of from an online algorithm. If you have any questions for me in the meantime about buying a home, selling a home, or about real estate in general, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.
