5 Ways Homebot is a Useful Tool for Homeowners
Homebot is a technology tool that helps homeowners to better assess a property. It can be used by Realtors, lenders, and homeowners to help get a better insight into the full picture of a property’s value.
It is a tool designed to help a homeowner save money and build wealth by simply being or becoming a homeowner. Homebot was first launched in 2016 and is based out of Denver Colorado.
What Can Homebot Do for You?
Give an Estimated Value of Your Home
What makes Homebot different from the ever-popular and well-known Zillow Zestimate is that it pulls data directly from the local MLS, public records, and RealtyTrac. RealtyTrac is a real estate information source and online marketplace that provides information on foreclosed and defaulted mortgage properties in the United States.
Combining information from all of these resources helps to give a much better insight into the true value of a property. A Zestimate from Zillow is well known for not being the most accurate and precise of numbers.
Homebot describes their estimate as next to the best thing, which is having a broker or lender help you arrive at the fair market value of your home. Or having an actual professional appraisal performed.
Provide Loan Balance Payoff Info
Knowing what you have paid towards the principal of your mortgage versus the amount of interest paid is important. This helps to give you a better picture of how much equity you really have in your home.
The lower the principal balance on a mortgage the higher the equity you’re holding in your home giving you higher leverage on purchasing your next home and building personal wealth.
Homebot uses public records about your home to plug in with information about your current mortgage loan to give you the most accurate calculations and find the closest and truest amount of equity you currently have.
Helps You To Discover Possible Options for Refinancing
