home value: Can You Really Trust Zestimates?
- 09/20/17 01:13 PM
Today we are talking about a topic we get a lot of questions about: Zestimates. Zestimates are Zillow’s automated home value system that will tell you what your home could sell for in the market. Is this the best way to determine value, and should you trust it? The answer is maybe, but it might not be a good idea.

- 06/07/10 02:07 AM
Whenever a member of the real estate community ever hears the term HVCC, every mortgage broker, agent, appraiser and lending firm can't help but feel a shudder as a sense of dread somehow grips them. The HVCC, which ironically stands for Home Valuation Code of Conduct, was meant to help the mortgage industry survive the real estate crisis and clean up how it does and conducts business.
