HomeGain Press Release
December 17, 2008
Emeryville, CA - December 17, 2008 - HomeGain, the first website to offer web-based free instant home valuations, today announced that it has added a "what if" feature to its instant home values tool that provides valuation estimates on residential properties.
The "what if" feature allows users to hypothetically add a room(s), bathroom(s) and/or some extra square footage to a home. Using the provided "what if" data, the HomeGain instant home values tool recalculates a new estimate.
HomeGain's instant home values tool is found under the center section, "Get Home Values", on HomeGain.com. Here consumers can find real estate information, connect with local real estate agents, receive an instant home valuation, read agent blogs, review agent profiles, and view featured listings - all in an advertising-free environment.
"Our new 'what if' feature gives homeowners an indication of the potential value of their home before they get started on major home renovations," stated HomeGain's General Manager, Louis Cammarosano. "This enables people to make more informed decisions about their home and to plan for the future. Visitors who have questions can directly contact real estate agents in more than 2,100 ZIP codes across the country."
Home Sale Maximizer™ is an additional tool in the "Get Home Values" section that helps homeowners determine which home improvements such as home staging, landscaping or painting may best increase the resale values of their homes.
