Value Estimator Code

(Browsers using the code must have Javascript enabled.)

The Value Estimator Code below will allow you to place a button on your web site
that will provide a mathematical estimate the value of a home in your town.


The Assessed Value field requires the curious customer to enter the assessed value of a property.
Once they hit enter, a "Value"will magically appear based on how you modify the code below.
By the way, all true real estate professionals know there is much more to correctly valuing a property
than a simple programmer's math equation can interpret.
However, many surfers are looking online for a quick estimate of value
and this estimator is both as good and as bad as the other estimators are.
Plus, when it is on your website, you will keep their attention longer.

So, here is what you do:

1. Copy the script below into a text editor like “Notepad”, and save it for future reference.
(If you keep the "developed by" statement when you add the code to your pages, the back-link helps REindex with SEO. You do not have to keep this in the code for it to work if you choose not to. This VEcode is intended to be free to any agent or broker who wants to use it. Happy listing and selling!)

2. Replace the 1.35 with your own multiplier. (No negative numbers, but choose some number you decide on
more than 0.00, that when multiplied by the assessed value gives an "estimate" of value in your town that you are comfortable with.)
This value can be changed as often as your market conditions change.
(Keep in mind that I don't think this is very accurate. Other sites are using one, so I created my own version.)

3. Change "My Estimate of Your Current Value is",
to "Your Name or Company's Name Estimate of Your Current Value is".

4. Save the changes.

5. Copy and paste the code where you want it to appear, in the page you want the value estimator on.
(You can see the Cape Group Value Estimator page here: http://www.capegroup.com/CapeGroupestimateofvaluecode.html - which does not use 1.35 by the way)

6. Tell people about it! Now you can be the local “Value Estimator” for buyers and sellers.
