Zestimate

Zillow determines an estimate for a house, which it refers to as "Zestimate", based on a range of publicly available information, including sales of comparable houses in a neighborhood. Zestimate does not take into consideration home-specific factors like recent remodeling, although there is an option to update the information for a particular home. The accuracy of the Zestimate varies by location depending on how much information is publicly available, but Zillow allows users to check the accuracy of Zestimates in their own region against actual sales.  In many U.S. states, information on the transfer prices of real estate is readily available and accessible by the general public and is not exclusively held in realtors' databases.

In the Spotlight

  • Homeowner Confidence Survey: Homeowners in the Northeast were the most cynical about their own homes’ values over the past 12 months, although the region posted the highest percentage of homes increasing in value during that same time period, according to the Zillow Q3 Homeowner Confidence Survey  and the Zillow Q3 Real Estate Market Reports. Fewer than half (49%) of homeowners say their own home’s value decreased in the past 12 months; in reality, 72% of U.S. homes declined in value. More in the press release, press room, and on the Zillow Blog.
  • Real Estate Market Reports: Home values in the United States posted their 11th consecutive quarterly decline, falling 6.9% year-over-year to a Zillow Home Value Index of $190,400, according to the third quarter Zillow Real Estate Market Reports. The percent of single-family homes with mortgages in negative equity fell to 21% in the third quarter, down from 23% in the second, as home values stabilized in the short term and more underwater homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure. Foreclosure re-sales made up more than one-fifth (21.4%) of all U.S. home sales in September. More Q3 Real Estate Market Reports data in the press release, press room and on the Zillow Blog.
  • Homebuyers Negotiating Power: Buyers nationally negotiated a median 2.9% off the final listing price in September, down a bit from 3% in August. In some markets, buyers continued negotiate large discounts. The Vero Beach, Fla., market topped the list again in September, with buyers paying a median 8.1% off the final price of homes. The other top negotiating spots were also in Florida, with buyers in the Naples, Sarasota and Panama City markets negotiating more than 7% off the final listing price of their new homes.

The title stands to sound reason -- that the reason it's referred to as practice, is because it changes too often to be mastered once and for all.  Like Medicine or Law; Real Estate is truly an on-going practice that requires constant learning and dedicated aspirations to obtain the wisdom to claim a certain expertise, but knowing there is always more to learn.

       Strong Commitment to Continuing NAR Education: 

Only 22,000 to 28,000 Realtor® members (< 3%) attend the week long national convention and pre-conference educational courses of  the National Association of Realtors® to keep up to date on the real estate market.  For Nine straight years, I have increased my commitment to invest over $30,000. to further my real estate knowledge.

Good question to ask any Realtor® you are considering hiring.

 MetroStar,®  Realtors®   Relocation Creed

Providing transferees with our Independent Home Purchase Program will speed their settling into to their new location and work environment.

Since real estate Home Finding Services are Personal Service Contracts, You the transferee should be the one to choose the person you are most comfortable with to find your new home.

Each transferee benefits from the dedicated and responsive support of a single, Highly Trained Real Estate Relocation Focused Buyer’s Broker Professional, committed to finding you the best home at the lowest possible price.

Our policy of fulfilling Competitive Supplier Independence ensures that every transferee receives best-value, best-in-class service throughout the home purchasing and closing process. We provide the local expertise to make the process of settling in as easy as possible.

For Incoming Relocations:  Your employer won’t be subject to a more expensive relocation from the “too tempting for them to resist” higher owner's title insurance policy costs from the RSP’s in-house or affiliated title company, and keep repeating . . . for in-house: flood cert, surveying, broker network, insurance, mortgage loans, etc. etc.  No, greed is not good for you or your company.

The Transferees’ Freedom of Choice to Choose Their Own Selected Buyer’s Broker should enhance their regard of your corporate relocation policy as a benefit, not a burden.

MetroStar,®  Realtors®

WE PROMISE AND GUARANTEE

To put client interests before our own.  As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker: No conflict of interest. No steering towards or away from in-house listings. No hidden fees or profits. Unlike many, we don’t have in-house loans, escrows or have a hand in making money off of providing title services. We always want the freedom to recommend the best services and most competitive rates for our clients—and we do. This can result in savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars for our buyers.

 

To earn our fees, and make nothing if we cannot perform. We charge no up-front fees, no advance fees, and no transaction fees.  In 99% of the case, the seller or bank-owned servicer pays our normal buyer-side real estate commissions. We openly disclose what are being paid on each property including any selling broker bonuses that may be offered on certain properties. We pay for all our home finding costs, (gasoline, printing, ink/paper, etc.) and still search for ways to save our clients both time and money.

 

To skillfully negotiate on our client’s behalf.  For the buyer, we work hard to package financing, pricing and timing to create a successful transition into their new home. We strive to maintain our reputation for “Center-Masterpiece Transactions.”

 

To expertly manage your transaction from beginning to end.  This will include the coordination of appraisers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, escrow demands, disclosures, legal requirements and the other unexpected events to come with the territory.

 

To talk to you!  Like you, we tire of voice mail and touch-tone mazes. If you are represented by one of our professionals, you will almost always be able to speak with a responsive person 24/7/365.  It could be as simple and frustrating as a buyer who has hit a loan-qualifying hurdle.

 

We listen to you!  Give us a call and tell us where you would like to be in the next three months. We promise to listen and to help guide you toward your desired housing and home investment goals.

Explanation of "Expert" or "Master" in Real Estate:

 

I have been graciously blessed with God-given talents in real estate:

With a Servant's Spirit, We Want to Serve Your Housing Needs

As you choose professional counsel in real estate, please understand that the title of expert has been humbly pursued over the last four decades;  following in real estate brokerage with my broker father, having a certain DNA from centuries of forefathers in the building & land business, earning a University degree in Real Estate & Finance, continuing to upgrade my education with certifications and specialized training, but mostly, my expertise comes from the creator of the universe who has seen fit to bless my career with insight and wisdom to understand and navigate the purchasing process for my clients.

We work with people of all faiths in a higher being.

Statement of Faith:  [ from Hillsong Church, Castle Hill, Australia ]

Our Prayer for You is that you would come to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and friend. His life, death and resurrection represents the greatest gift of love the world will ever see.  It's a free gift for you -- all you need to do is accept it.

A brand new start to a life lived in relationship with God.

We encourage you to find the peace that comes from a personal relationship and go to a Bible believing church and ask the pastor to help you understand the God that is knocking on your door.  I personally benefit by playing the music and songs available under The Hillsong Worship Team banner.

Something each Buyer should consider:

In the case of SNIDER v. OKLAHOMA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION,

June 1, 1999

The  OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT  said:

"Sellers' agents and dual agents do not and cannot by law give a buyer the same degree of loyalty as an agent who acts on behalf of a buyer. Sellers' agents owe their allegiance to the seller. Dual agency invites a conflict of interest. A buyer who relies on the seller's agent or on dual agency does not receive the same degree of legal protection as that afforded by an agent acting solely on behalf of the buyer".
