Not an algorithm's guess. Real sold comparables from your street, adjusted for the things public records cannot see, with an honest range and my reasoning behind it.
Automated valuation models are built on public records and neighborhood averages. That works reasonably well for a subdivision where every home was built in the same three years from four floor plans. It works poorly almost everywhere else, and Central Florida is full of everywhere else.
An algorithm cannot tell that the kitchen was redone two years ago, that the roof is at the end of its life, that the lot backs to a retention pond, or that the two closest sales were both distressed. Those are exactly the factors that move a number by tens of thousands of dollars.
What you get back: an honest range rather than a single flattering number, the comps I used and why, and a straight read on how fast it would likely move at different price points. If the market is not where you need it to be, I will tell you that instead of talking you into a listing.
Address is all I need to start. I reply personally, usually the same day.
They are a starting point, not an answer. Automated estimates work from public records and broad patterns, so they cannot see a renovated kitchen, a failing roof, a busy road behind the property, or a lot that backs to conservation. In neighborhoods with varied housing stock the gap can be significant in either direction.
Recent sold properties that are genuinely comparable to yours, adjusted for the differences: square footage, bed and bath count, lot, age, condition, updates, and location within the neighborhood. It also looks at what is currently active, since those are the homes a buyer would weigh yours against, and what expired without selling, which shows where the ceiling is.
No. Plenty of the valuations I run are for people who are curious, refinancing, planning a year or two out, or settling an estate. If you are not selling, that is fine, and I would rather be the person you already know when the time comes.
Usually the same day. I need the address to start, and I may follow up with a couple of questions about updates or condition, since those are exactly the things public records get wrong.
Listing already came off the market? Here's what usually went wrong.
Call, text, or send the form. Either way you get a real answer, not a pitch.
