🐶 Zillow Gave You a Home Estimate? Not So Fast, Fur-iend!

Hey hey, Becky here—your loyal Barketing Manager with A Notch Above Group and full-time fetcher of real estate truths. 🐾

Let’s talk about something a lot of humans fall for…

“If Zillow gives you an estimate, it must be 100% pup-proof, right?”
Not so fast, fur-iend!

That Zestimate might look all official and shiny, but there’s a lot it doesn’t take into account. So before you go pricing your home based on a number from the internet, let’s dig in (and you know I love a good dig). 🐾

🐕 Why That Zestimate Might Be Ruff Around the Edges

Zillow’s algorithm can be a helpful starting point, but it’s not a substitute for a real, local expert. Here’s what it misses:

1. Recent Updates and Renovations

Did you upgrade your kitchen? Add a new roof? Put in floors that are fancier than my favorite treat jar? Zillow doesn’t know that. A fresh remodel can majorly impact value—but only a local real estate pro (like my humans) will factor that in correctly.

2. Curb Appeal and Condition

Zillow hasn’t sniffed your yard, seen your flower beds, or noticed your brand-new front porch. It also doesn’t know if the neighbor's house has a dozen flamingos in the yard. (No judgment—but buyers do care.)

3. Local Vibes Matter

Neighborhood energy, school districts, views, trail access—all of that impacts value, and all of it flies under Zillow’s radar. We live and work here, so we know which streets are hot and which are not.

4. Interior Details & Layout

An open-concept layout, a mudroom that’s actually functional, or a bonus room that’s perfect for Netflix and naps—Zillow doesn’t peek inside. But we do, and we know how much those details matter.

🐾 How to Get the Real Value of Your Home

For a paw-thentic price, you’ve gotta call in the pros. 🧠🐶 Here’s what we do instead of guessing:

✅ We analyze recent comparable sales in your exact area
✅ We tour your property and note upgrades, condition, and layout
✅ We consider market trends, buyer demand, and local quirks
✅ We give you a custom, no-pressure pricing strategy designed to fetch top dollar

Bottom line?
👉 We sniff out the truth better than any algorithm ever could.

💬 Becky’s Final Bark:

Zillow might be helpful for curiosity’s sake, but when it comes to actually selling your doghouse (er, home), don’t let a robot do the pricing.

Let’s talk about what your home is really worth—and how to get it sold quickly, smartly, and with as many tail wags as possible.
