Home valuation
What is your home actually worth?
Not an instant algorithm. Send me the address and I will pull the recent comparable sales around it, adjust for what makes your property different, and send back the reasoning — not just a number.
How it works
Three steps, no obligation
01
You send the address
Plus whatever details you have. Beds, baths, size and condition sharpen the answer; the address alone is enough to start.
02
I pull the comparables
Recent sales of genuinely similar properties nearby, adjusted for condition, layout, and how the market has moved since they closed.
03
You get the reasoning
A range with the comparables it came from, and an honest note on what would raise or lower it. Ask follow-up questions; that is the point.
Preparing to sell rather than just curious? The seller's guide covers what happens after the number, and the seller questionnaire collects the details that shape a listing plan.

Questions
Before you send the address
- Is this an instant online estimate?
- No, and that is deliberate. An instant number comes from a model that has never seen your kitchen, your street, or the condition of your roof. What you get here is a human review: recent comparable sales near your address, adjusted for what makes your property different, with the reasoning written out.
- What do you need from me?
- The address and a way to reach you is the minimum. Beds, baths, approximate size and condition make the answer sharper. If the property is tenant-occupied or has had significant work done, say so — both change the comparison set.
- Will I be put on a mailing list?
- No. You get the valuation and an answer to whatever you ask about it. If you are researching for next year rather than selling now, that is a normal reason to ask and you will not be chased about it.
- How is this different from the Zillow number?
- Zillow publishes a modelled index for whole towns and a per-home estimate built from public records. Neither one has walked through your property. A comparative market analysis starts from actual recent sales of properties genuinely like yours, then adjusts for condition, layout and timing.
