Are you trusting Zillow’s Zestimate to tell you what your home is worth? That “free” tool could be draining an average of $47,000 from sellers—without them even realizing it.
In this episode, I break down exactly how Zillow’s algorithm misleads homeowners, why those monthly updates keep you hooked, and the hidden psychological trap that causes sellers to overprice, waste months on the market, and ultimately sell for less.
You’ll discover:
Why Zestimates are often as accurate as a broken clock
The anchoring bias that tricks even savvy sellers
How cash buyers use low Zestimates to score deals at your expense
The simple comp analysis you can do in minutes that beats Zillow’s billion-dollar system
Before you list your home—or accept that “too good to be true” cash offer—listen to this. It might save you more than a year’s salary.
