AVM's with Homekeys ValueKey

The interactive approach used by Homekeys to determine the market value of a property is unique. In addition to providing historical comparables, Homekeys allows the consumer to adjust property values by reflecting existing market conditions; that is, by also providing detailed info on comparable properties that are “listed for sale”. This allows the consumer to gauge the impact of “market forces”. Homekeys is the only company I am aware of that offers free online value estimation tools that include both historical comparables and current comparable listings in determining the “market value” of a property. In addition, users are guided in reflecting unique property characteristics gathered from actually being at the property site.
To round out our self service offerings Homekeys provides consumers with a plethora of real estate information and resources including rehab and income property analysis tools, calculators, step by step buyer and seller guides, tips, original content and service providers of real estate related services at absolutely no charge…no strings attached.
Homekeys is one of the fastest moving real estate space. Feel free to contact Homekeys for details on how to buy, sell and rent easier, smarter, faster and cheaper.

How to find the best real estate deals?

First it was Homekeys who provided consumers free home value estimates of their homes in Florida. Then Zillow provided value estimates for 60 million homes in the country. Recently Fidelity National has provided a new web site cyberhomes for 100 million homes in the country and I am sure others will follow.

Something else Homekeys has offered for the lst three years that can't be found anywhere else is a patent-pending technology called ValueSearch™. If your looking for a home in Florida and want to find the best deals, then ValueSearch™ is the only search today that will show you those listings in seconds. Because we have our own GIS systems, our own AVM algorithms, and we own all the code, we have been doing it better, faster, and longer than anyone.

The NAR and the local MLS boards now have their hands full with many web sites showing MLS listings illegally. Many of these sites show MLS listings without permission and knowledge of the listing agents and are not licensed. Incorrect pricing, descriptions, pictures, and detailed information never being kept up to date plague these web sites. Tie that to estimated values and value reports that take into account this wrong data and you really have a mess.

Homekeys is a licensed real estate company in the state of Florida and is bound to follow the MLS rules and regulations. You can feel secure in knowing that when your searching for an undervalued home on the Homekeys web site, it is based on the most accurate information to date. Information received directly from MLS feeds.

At Homekeys the future is now. The future is ValueSearch™.

Sell Direct with FSBO and Protect your Equity

It is difficult if not impossible to accurately predict where the market is heading. We, homeowners, cannot control the market but we certainly can do a better job in understanding what is going on so we can make "more intelligent and less emotional" decisions.
Here are a few lessons we learned from succesful for sale by owners :

1. Be realistic--- whatever happened 8 months ago does not longer reflect what is happening now. Those happy days for sellers are gone for at least for now; and nobody knows when these days are coming back.
   
   
2. Be aggressive and price to sell--- the supply is the highest in decades; thus you have a lot of competition. You need to understand not only what was sold "yesterday" but what is for sale today that is comparable to your property. Buyers have options and they will compare what you have to offer with other comparable alternatives. Be competitive and price your home at 5% below comparable listings. www.homekeys.net gives you free and unlimited access to all the information you need to price it right in several Florida counties including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Orange and Hillsborough.
   
   
3. Sell direct and save commissions--- in addition to pricing ( the obvious!), you need to reach as many potential buyers as possible. Recent surveys show that over 85% of the buyers find their properties in the Internet. Yes, over 85% of the people and the number is growing! How to maximize the EXPOSURE is critical.
