What is your home actually worth?

Not an automated guess. I pull the comparable sales myself, adjust for what makes your house different, and send you a written opinion of value within one business day. No obligation to list.

Why the online estimate is wrong

Automated valuation models are useful for a rough range and nothing else. They work off public records and recent sales, which means there is a long list of things they cannot see.

What the algorithm cannot see

  • Whether your kitchen was updated in 2009 or last spring
  • Roof age, HVAC age, foundation history
  • Which lot backs to a greenbelt and which backs to the road
  • Floor plan quality and how the space actually lives
  • Pool, shop, acreage, or anything else non-standard
  • What comparable homes sold for after concessions

Why it matters in North Texas

Our neighborhoods are not uniform. A tract of homes built by the same builder in the same year can span a wide range depending on lot, upgrades, and condition. Automated models smooth right over that, because averaging is all they can do.

Price a house off a bad number and one of two things happens. You list too high, sit, and take a price cut that costs you more than the original gap. Or you list too low and hand money to the buyer.

This is a comparative market analysis prepared by a licensed REALTOR®, not a formal appraisal. If you need an appraisal for a loan, estate, or legal matter, you need a licensed appraiser and I can point you to one.

What you get

A written analysis, sent to you. Read it, use it, ignore it. There is no presentation you have to sit through.

  1. A price range, with the reasoning

    Not one number pulled from nowhere. A supported range, and a plain explanation of what pushes your house toward the top or bottom of it.

  2. The actual comparable sales

    The specific homes I used, what they sold for, when, and how I adjusted for the differences between them and yours. You can check my work.

  3. Current competition

    What is active and pending near you right now, because that is what a buyer will weigh your house against.

  4. What would move the number

    Where repairs or updates would pay for themselves before listing, and where they would not. Sometimes the honest answer is to do nothing.

  5. A net sheet, if you want one

    Estimated proceeds after payoff, commissions, title, and typical seller costs, so you know what would actually reach your account.

Request your valuation

I will have it to you within one business day. If I need to see the inside to give you a real number, I will say so rather than guess.

I prepare these myself and I do not sell your information. Asking what your home is worth is not a commitment to sell it, and "just curious" is a perfectly good reason. By submitting you agree to be contacted about your property.
