Home History Search, Report and Rating System
Real Estate is beautifully complex.
Condo, apartment or home history search information has been nearly impossible to find.
Comparing and rating your next place has been frustrating and confusing. Yet that’s nothing compared to moving in and learning that the place wasn’t what you thought it was.
Until Now.
Our goal is to simplify the home history search process and help people find homes that better fit their needs.
Revaluate makes the home search more satisfying and simple. We answer the question:
“What’s it really like to live there?”
We created a very easy to identify rating for each address and provide additional information about the things in a home that matter to most people. It’s a home history report and a livability rating system, combined.
The Number in the middle of the donut graph reflects the homes overall livability rating. Livability is carefully calculated using our patent pending algorithms and process and comprised of four sub scores.
Yellow- Expenses
Blue – Quality of Life
Green – Environment
Red – Safety
If you mouse over the corresponding color on a report, you can see the score for that category. Click that color to go to the section of the Revaluate Report.
All five ratings in the report are graded on a 1-100 scale. Many people will live in very good homes that are rated between 80-89. These are quality homes with a few small issues – they would earn B grades, if they had been in school.
There are also homes with many problems – or problems that seem to indicate a trend. Revaluate calls these problems “Alerts”. Homes with many alerts would be graded very low in a category. This will impact the overall score. Multiple alerts in multiple categories will result in a very poor score, below a D grade. People moving here ought to know exactly what they are getting into.
This method and process is patent pending, so we are in uncharted waters.

[…] Review sites have gained in popularity dramatically over the past several years. Sites like Yelp! and Angie’s List allow customers to track ratings of every imaginable kind of business, from diners and bars to plumbers and car dealerships. Depending on the particular platform, viewers can search various business based on a variety of criteria, be it breakfast hours, wi-fi availability, or service range, in order to help them determine which listing best matches their needs. Ratings have been available for real estate brokerages and individual agents for years already, but not for listings. Largely because nobody is going to write a negative review about their own home, and there hasn’t been any other objective method to measure a home’s value, in terms other than numbers. It’s easy to see how big yard is, what kind of appliances the kitchen has, or what the taxes might be. But there’s been no way to gauge potential “user experience.” Revaluate is trying to change that. They’ve created a dynamic rating system for real estate listings that scores homes based on four primary criteria: expenses, quality of life, environment and safety, with an overall livability score culled from all four. They’re tight-lipped about the scoring process, but the results are interesting, and include fairly robust reports for each address. Check it out here. […]
