homegain.com What If You Could Predict the Future

December 21, 2008 by Emma Sorensen

Almost everyone would like to predict the future, and now you can. Well, almost. You can predict what might happen to the value of your property if you altered or added to your house.

US real estate connection website homegain.com aims to connect home seekers and sellers with agents and brokers. For example, users can compare locate and compare real estate agents, research home values, and view homes for sale. Real estate agents can use it to promote their services and market their business. It also claims to have been one of the first websites that offered free online instant home valuations.

homegain.com has just announced the addition of a new “what if” feature, which keeps them ahead of the game in terms of online valuations.

The “what if” feature allows users to hypothetically add a room(s), bathroom(s) and/or some extra square footage to a home, and see what the changes would do to the value of their home. The what if function recalculates a new estimate, based on the changes.

Home Sale MaximizerTM is an additional tool in the “Get Homes Value” section that helps homeowners determine which home improvements such as home staging, landscaping or painting may best increase the resale values of their homes.

homegain.com’s General Manager, Louis Cammarosano, was quoted on RISmedia as saying:

“Our new ‘what if’ feature gives homeowners an indication of the potential value of their home before they get started on major home renovations. This enables people to make more informed decisions about their home and to plan for the future. Visitors who have questions can directly contact real estate agents in more than 2,100 ZIP codes across the country.”
