Home Valuation Questions
How accurate are online home valuations?
Online automated valuations (like Zillow's Zestimate) can be off by 10-20% or more because they lack critical information about your home's condition, upgrades, and local market nuances. A professional CMA from an experienced local agent provides much more accurate pricing based on actual comparable sales and current market conditions.
Do I have to list my home to get a valuation?
Absolutely not! Our home valuation service is completely free with no obligation to list. Many homeowners request valuations for refinancing, estate planning, financial planning, or simply to track their home's value over time. Whether you're ready to sell now or just exploring your options, we're happy to help.
How long does it take to get my valuation?
Most valuations are completed within 24-48 hours. We'll reach out to schedule a brief property assessment (this can often be done virtually) and then provide you with a comprehensive valuation report including comparable sales data, market analysis, and our recommended price range.
What information do you need for an accurate valuation?
The more information we have, the more accurate your valuation will be. We'll need your property address, square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, lot size, and any recent upgrades or improvements. Photos are helpful but not required for an initial estimate. For the most accurate valuation, a brief property walkthrough is ideal.
