Most agents already use some kind of home value tool. Here is how the main approaches differ from a Truppraisal Estimate — in one place, by approach rather than by brand, so you can match it to whatever you use now.
The whole argument in one line. Any of these can put a number in front of a homeowner. The question that decides whether they believe it comes next — “where did that number come from?” A Truppraisal Estimate answers it with the actual recorded sales, each scored for similarity and adjusted line by line in dollars — Truppraisal makes all the adjustments automatically, and on every plan you can make it your own CMA. Truppraisal: the new way to CMA.
Each of these is a full side-by-side, not a summary.
Nine rows — the ones that decide whether a homeowner believes the number, and whether it is your CMA or someone else’s.

The same house, as each kind of tool typically presents it to your client.

| If the client asks “which houses?” | Usually nothing to show them | Usually nothing to show them | Every sale, with its address, sale date, recorded price and rating |
| If the client asks “but mine has a pool” | Usually no answer | Usually no answer | The dollar line for the pool is already on the page |
| What it does for a listing appointment | Not built for one | A number to quote | Your CMA, prepared by you — the document you put on the table |
