BTW, I’d love to get Amazon reviews on the book - trying to get over 100 for their algorithms. :-) 

I’m wondering if folks think emojis and all caps in listings will actually be punished in the ranking algorithm - because if not then I’m confident these techniques actively help listings in my area and are worth doing…

You don't have any past sales, but your brokerage does - take advantage of that.Regarding Facebook - you can post as often as you like about real estate and what you do, but it won't necessarily mean everyone in your SOI will see it based on the algorithms.

It's not a bad place to start to get a broad idea, but there are just too many local variables (not to mention property condition) for an algorithm to be trustworthy.

Your algorithm would favor the tenant so they should not complain.

So their algorithm has to estimate more.

I can't tell you how many times wholesalers have quoted me ARV values using Zestimates.Zestimates use an automated computer algorithm to try to determine price, the problem often comes into play when the website pulls comps that aren't really comparable. 

All of these products have their own proprietary algorithms (including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) to come up with an expected ADR or Occupancy rate (and many other valuable data points) so there is real data analytics going on with these products. 

Our team is in the process of creating an algorithm that is designed to indicate the best possible time to lock a mortgage rate determined by various factors such as upcoming economic/market data, news related volatility, duration of lock allowance, present US 10 year treasury price action etc.  

Maybe you could build a net to seller model...algorithm...but you'll always have variance based on simple things like closing date...remember, property taxes are pro-rated through the day of the sale...a simple delay in closing by a couple days may impact your costs significantly.
