Users input\u00a0their own estimates, and the algorithm will weight them in determining a price, depending on how accurate the user has been in the past.\u00a0By comparing the accuracy of past quotes against realAs predictions and selling prices, buyers would also be able to form a view about the market knowledge of a particular agent and whether they underquote.<\/p>\n<p><span>We think realAs represents another invaluable, and free, tool for buyers and investors.
