I love my wife. But, I suspect she trusts Zestimate more than her own trusted realtor (that would be, me). As you know, there are many online sites providing estimated home values. Are they accurate? Trust-worthy? The answer (I keep presenting to my wife) is “yes”, but only to a certain degree. They are mostly automated, numbers-based estimates based on proprietary algorithms. They can be a good starting point, but lacks qualitative factors which may end up misleading.
There are more sophisticated tools/processes available to the professionals. These tools can take into account your home’s unique features, recent upgrades, and other qualitative factors. Some even estimate your resulting net-equity so to minimize any surprises down the road. (And, “now, from our sponsor”) I provide “Free Home Value Assessment” as a Free Consultation. I call it a “consultation” since it is not a simple check-the-box type of survey questions, but more of an iterative process.
