Over the last 20+ years of helping people buy and sell homes across DFW, I’ve seen it all—nail-biting inspections, tough negotiations, the pure joy of handing keys to first-time buyers, and the thrill of finding that perfect “this is it” home for even the pickiest clients.

And along the way, I’ve had more than a few run-ins with Zillow’s “Zestimates.” Sometimes they’re close, but other times… not so much. I’ve seen them miss the true market value by tens of thousands of dollars. I’ve come across listings with the wrong photos, outdated details, or even the wrong address altogether.

The thing is, Zillow doesn’t know your street, your neighborhood, or what makes your home special. Their numbers are based on algorithms and averages—not the upgrades you’ve made, the care you’ve put into the property, or the little things that make it stand out to a buyer.

Here’s another piece most people don’t realize: Zillow isn’t really in the home-selling business. They’re in the lead-selling business. Their goal is to get your contact info so they can sell it to agents, lenders, and other industry folks. That means their priority is clicks and sign-ups—not making sure their estimates are perfectly accurate.

That’s where I come in. My job isn’t to “sell you” on anything—it’s to give you the real picture so you can make smart, confident decisions. I dig into local market trends, study actual comparable sales, and look at the unique details of your home (or the one you want to buy) so the numbers we’re working with reflect reality, not just a guess from a website.

When it comes to something as important as your home, “close enough” just doesn’t cut it. Before you make a move based on a “Zestimate,” give me a call or text at 817-658-2477. I’ll make sure you have the facts, not just the fluff—so you can protect your investment and make your next step with confidence.
