• Just a starting point – not the end-all-be-all
• Recalculate when get new property attributes from listings
• Value range on each Zestimate is unique to each home, and Zestimate isnot necessarily the midpoint
• Owner or agent can respond to the Zestimate
• Publish a “My Estimate”• Accuracy table
• Less accurate on high-end & unusual homes, especially when fewer compsare selling & when that home hasn’t sold in a long time
• On listings, Zestimate comes off the map and is pushed down on listingpage.• When no Zestimate, it’s due to address-matching issue.

• NWMLS is developing their own AVM which will appear in MLSand on IDX sites that choose to add it
• Seperately, the “AVM Opt-out” DDoesn’t affect Zillow.combecause we’re not a brokerage and we don’t have an IDX feed
• Zestimates appear on listings pages on some brokerage sites(e.g., Redfin.com, ZipRealty.com)• If seller opts out of AVM, then brokerage site removes AVM from
brokerage site
• But that listing will still appear on Zillow via broker feed, and will still havea Zestimate• If no Zestimate, it’s an address matching issue

Two NWMLS AVM Topics

• Each online community has its own quirks and customs
• “God gave you two ears and one mouth…”
• Imagine your virtual conversations IRL (In Real Life)• Blog comments = crowded room full of strangers
• Community forum = you’re the new guy/gal in room full of old friends
• Twitter = talking out loud as you stroll main street USA
• The soft sell is better than hard sell. Use links for upsell.
• Acknowledge your bias
• Transparency + Consistency + Thoughtfulness = Credibility• Blogging (on your own blog) isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
• Be yourself & have fun
