FAQs from agents in our community

Does Realm cost anything to use?

Realm is free for agents & homeowners to use. We will never charge you to use our data.

Why? Two reasons:
1. We get more value every time someone interacts with our data — it helps us to make our recommendations more accurate which helps us to grow our business.
2. We are lucky enough to have investors who believe in our vision and are paying our bills.

We make money by introducing homeowners to vendors who can help them with their projects. Currently, we only offer that particular service in California although our data is available in all 50 states.

How is your home valuation different from other real estate websites? 

Most other websites rely on publicly available data, focus on the value of the house as a whole, and calculate the value of the house in its current state. 

Realm, on the other hand, has aggregated new sources of data, focuses on understanding the potential of a property rather than the house in its current state, and analyzes the impact of the various components of the house.

Where do you get your project pricing data?

We’ve built our own model to allow us to quote projects instantly based on local price. Our project pricing is based on material & labor costs specific to the zip code where the property is located.

For each project, we’ve worked with a team of construction experts to understand the components of a particular project and translate those into a pricing template. Each templates covers the specific categories of materials (e.g. cabinets, appliances) that go into the project as well as labor (e.g. demolition, installation) and overhead (e.g. insurance).

How accurate is your data?

It’s accurate! It gets even better if our customers provide additional details about the property that we might not know about, such as a renovation that didn’t require a permit, a recently completed repair or changes to bed/bath counts.

To edit the data for a property, just look for the pencil on the property’s dashboard. From there, we’ll update your home value in real time.
