We've all heard the
buzz about Zillow.com - the online estimation tool that has gathered
tax information to create "Zestimates" of what a home
is worth in just about every part of the US.
The real estate agent
community was upset with this new website, with good reason. The
"Zestimates" were not always accurate and if you put
this powerful tool in a buyer's hands, it could hurt your
chances of selling a property if the facts on Zillow were just
not right.
So, what's new?
You can now not only post your listing for sale (for FREE) on
Zillow, but you can also update the "Zestimate" by
adding facts and improvements as well as comps on why they should
update the "Zestimate". Just by putting it on this
site "for sale" will get ride of the glaring and most
likely "underZestmate", and replaces it with the for
sale price. Whew, that is an improvement and a relief.
You can also customize
your account so that your agent information is displayed on all
your listings... maybe you'll find your own buyer!
Another cool feature
is that they give you a hit report to see how many people viewed
the home. Nice to add to the seller reports you must be doing
(If you're not currently sending weekly or monthly reports to
your seller, enlist the help of RealSupport! We are sending out
weekly and monthly reporting for several of our clients. We find
that sellers LOVE to see the marketing results first hand).
Adding your listing
to Zillow and updating the "Zestimate" could be a
huge benefit to you and your sellers.
We would love to help
you get started!!! We can:
1) Set-up your account
information in Zillow, add your contact info, etc.
2) We can post your
current active listings with photos and update any bad information
(beds/bath/sq.ft/)
3) After we have it
all set-up, you can go in and justify the increase or communicate
the information to us and we'll do it!
4) Don't even
know what the "Zestimate" is for your listing? We
can look them all up and create a spreadsheet for you so that
you can figure out which ones need to be updates.
We can help! Send me
an email or give me a call!
Make it a great day,
