Do Realtors Use Zestimates?! - Questions With Kristen Episode 16

Lets talk Zestimate’s shall we? I get this question so often it is laughable really. So drumroll………. no. I don’t! I’m not saying there is zero value in them, I’m not! However I as a real estate agent have access to so much more helpful information to base my pricing or valuation of home off of.

Texas is considered a “non-disclosure” state, meaning, we do not have to disclose publicly what homes sold for. Typically we do in the MLS, however many agents do not go and add this information to other websites, such as the one we’re currently discussing ;). So the only information that they have to go off of is limited comps, and tax records. They never see the inside of your home, the comps not disclosed, or take into consideration, upgrades, or lets be honest, downgrades.

I have access to the MLS which holds way more accurate comparable home information. I also have the ability to meet with you, and assess the home with a trained eye and give you a professional opinion. No guessing. No assuming. Want to know how to value your home? Give me a call. I’d LOVE to help!
