Selling your home starts with setting the right price. But how can you do that if you plan to sell it without using a real estate agent?<\/p>\n

The answer: a home value estimator.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for\u2014and you should be\u2014you\u2019ve come to the right place. The Homepie Home Value Estimator will not only give you an estimate of value, but also an estimated value range. That will give you the power to set your home\u2019s sale price at a level that will work for you, but also at which it\u2019s likely to sell.<\/p>\n

And, along with the Home Value Estimator, Homepie provides a comprehensive suite of tools and information to fully equip you to sell your home yourself.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s important because you\u2019ll give up to 6% of the sale price if you choose to sell through a real estate agent instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Homepie there\u2019s no need to rely on a real estate agent, or pay the 6% commission.<\/p>\n

The Best Home Value Estimator<\/h2>\n

Having an accurate estimate of the value of your home is the first critical step in the home selling process. You\u2019ll get that\u2014free of charge\u2014using the Homepie Home Value Estimator.<\/p>\n

The Homepie Home Value Estimator is a real-time pricing tool that gives home sellers the most up-to-date value on their homes.<\/p>\n

The tool uses data provided by DataTree<\/a>. That\u2019s the same pricing engine real estate agents get their data from. But unlike real estate agents, the Homepie Home Value Estimator is a truly free provider of your home\u2019s value. By contrast, when a real estate agent gets involved, there\u2019s usually a commission attached.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

How to Use the Home Value Estimator<\/h2>\n

To use the tool, you simply need to go to the Homepie Home Value Estimator page<\/a>. Getting your home\u2019s value is an easy, four-step process that can be completed in under 60 seconds.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll start the process by entering your address:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/homepie.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image.png” title_text=”image” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”Poor-Marketing” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n

The next three screens will ask for your name, email address, and phone number. Once completed, you\u2019ll receive your Automated Valuation Report instantly:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/homepie.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-1.png” title_text=”image-1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”Poor-Marketing” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Notice that, in addition to the estimated value, you\u2019re also given an estimated range.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the final sale price of any property won\u2019t be determined until the home is sold. The estimated range will give you high and low values. You can choose the listing price you want, based on how quickly you want to sell the home.<\/p>\n

For example, if you want the highest sale price, you can choose the upper end of the estimated range. But if you\u2019re primarily interested in a quick sale, you\u2019ll price the property closer to the lower end. There\u2019s even a strategy to get many more offers to bid up the price using a lower asking price!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the major advantages of the Homepie Home Value Estimator<\/a>. <\/b>It puts you in control over the pricing of your home by giving you both a likely value and a range. You can price your home at any point within the range based on your personal needs and preferences.<\/p>\n

How the Home Value Estimator Can Help California Home Sellers<\/h2>\n

Pricing your home right is the key to a successful sale. That\u2019s true whether you list your home with a real estate agent, or especially if you plan to sell it yourself<\/p>\n

Price your home too high, and it\u2019ll sit on the market for months. You may not even get any offers\u2014ouch!<\/i><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a harmless situation, either.<\/b> A property that sits on the market too long can easily be perceived as \u201cdamaged goods.\u201d While you don\u2019t want to give the property away in favor of making a quick sale, pricing it above market is a guaranteed way to not sell your home<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It may even be possible to sell your home at a higher price with a lower initial asking price. In today\u2019s market, a more attractively priced home is likely to receive more offers, ultimately resulting in a higher final sale price than you might get with a higher asking price. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key to selling your home successfully is to find the right balance that enables you to sell your home quickly, but without sacrificing equity.<\/p>\n

The Homepie Home Value Estimator will help you do just that. Providing both a likely sale price and a high\/low range puts you <\/i>in control of achieving that balance. But you\u2019ll be able to do that as an educated home seller, rather than relying on guesswork.<\/p>\n

What is Homepie?<\/h2>\n

Homepie is a free online marketplace where sellers can list their homes for sale, and buyers can browse through listings and submit offers on properties they like. Homepie features a hybrid model using a combination of artificial intelligence and live help (through a personal concierge), establishing itself as the lowest cost\/highest service option available to home sellers in the California real estate market.<\/p>\n

The platform is specifically designed for home sellers who prefer to sell their home themselves and eliminate the 6% real estate commission. Since Homepie is a licenced real estate broker, and a listing contract is signed if they choose MLS for marketing, but it is an MLS-only contract. That eliminates the need for paying a real estate commission.<\/i><\/p>\n

The platform has all the tools necessary for buyers and sellers to navigate the sale process. That includes everything from sellers listing their homes for sale, straight through to final closing.<\/p>\n

Buyers are able to communicate directly with sellers. This includes arranging showings, conducting negotiations\u2014through the Homepie negotiation tool\u2014and making offers.<\/p>\n

When an agreement is reached on a sale, sellers and buyers can prepare a legal real estate purchase contract\u00a0 <\/span>automatically through the site.<\/p>\n

A Transaction Coordinator is available to handle the details<\/h3>\n

Home sellers can choose to work with a transaction coordinator, whose services will be available at a very low, flat fee. The coordinator will handle the details of the sale. That includes opening an escrow account, providing legal disclosures, preparing paperwork for digital signatures, ordering required reports, and arranging any necessary inspections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The coordinator will also keep the process moving forward, by keeping track of contract deadlines, ensuring all necessary documents are submitted on time, and coordinating sale and closing details with all parties involved.<\/p>\n

By the time the sale is complete, the home seller will have enjoyed all the benefits of having a real estate agent, but without the 6% commission.<\/b><\/p>\n
