The Numbers

Don't list at Zillow's number.
Here's why.

Zillow's Zestimate misses hyperlocal nuance, exactly the things that price your home above the algorithm. The Lakewood median is $839K, but your home's real value depends on comp set, condition, and timing. Most agents use Zillow as a shortcut. I don't.

Manual CMA, not algorithm

14-comp analysis weighted by recency (last 90 days), proximity (≤0.4 mi), and condition. Lakewood-specific, not a national model.

Strategic list-price psychology

Listed below CMA mid-range to trigger week-one offer pile-up. Buyers price the home up to its real ceiling, not down to Zillow's floor.

14-day window discipline

First 14 days are everything. Pre-marketed to buyer list, weekend open houses, "highest and best" mechanic by day 5. Eliminates tire-kickers.

Real example: $42K over asking

Whittier seller. Zillow said $735K. Three other agents quoted $729-$745K. We listed at $799K and closed at $841K in 8 days. Read the case study →
