The Benefits of Working with a Local Real Estate Broker on Nantucket

In today’s digital age instant gratification is king; our brains are trained to take to the internet to research nearly anything that crosses our mind. An increasingly popular search has been home valuation via sites like Zillow.com and Trulia.com. While these sites certainly serve many purposes as real estate databases, often users aren’t reading the fine print and really understanding the limitations of the algorithms as they casually search for their home’s value. Potential buyers are also often disappointed when prices significantly vary from tools like Zillow’s Zestimate. Additionally, these numbers generally don’t match an appraiser’s valuation.

Enlisting the help of a local real estate broker has many benefits, first and foremost the knowledge of the inventory and local market conditions. A broker will visit your property and make note of its special features and amenities, its condition, and opportunities to add value. We know the things that make each and every neighborhood of Nantucket special – a perspective that can never be achieved through an algorithm.
