**REAL ESTATE MYTH #2: "Zillow knows what my home is worth."**
I hear this all the time.
The truth? I use Zillow every single day. In fact, I maintain Zillow VIP status because it's one of the best platforms available to market homes.
But there's a big difference between **marketing** a home and **valuing** a home.
A Zestimate doesn't know your home's updates, condition, view, location within the neighborhood, or how buyers are responding to it today. It's an algorithm—and it's only one piece of the puzzle.
Whether you're thinking about buying or selling, don't let Zillow determine your home's value...or your budget.
Real estate is still local. It's still personal. And despite all the technology available today, experience still matters.
Have you ever checked your Zestimate? Was it close? I'd love to hear your experience in the comments.
