For sellers
What is my home worth?
Start with an automated estimate, then get a real comparative market analysis. They are not the same thing.
The estimate
An automated valuation uses public records and market data to produce a number. It is a starting point and nothing more.
Why it is not enough
An automated estimate cannot see your kitchen, your roof, your view, your flood zone, your association fee or the three comparable homes that just listed down the street. It is not an appraisal, only a licensed appraiser produces one of those, and it is not a comparative market analysis.
The comparative market analysis
A CMA is prepared by an agent who has seen the property. It looks at recent sales, current competition and pending activity, adjusted for condition and features. That is the basis for a pricing strategy. Schedule a seller consultation to get one.
We cannot promise a specific sale price or a specific number of days on market, and we would be suspicious of anyone who does.
Where to check current property details
This marketing site does not host MLS listing data. Reproducing listings here would mean showing prices and statuses that go stale, which is bad for buyers and a compliance problem for us. Live, accurate listing data is on nexthomeshoresuccess.com, our property search website, where it is updated with the multiple listing service.
Ask what is behind the number
When reviewing an estimate or market analysis, focus on the comparisons and assumptions as well as the result. Ask why each property was selected, which differences matter, and what information about your own home is still missing. A useful discussion should make it possible to understand how the conclusion was reached.
Prepare a short property summary before that conversation. Note the rooms you use differently from their original purpose, changes made during your ownership, and features that may not be clear from an exterior photograph. Include approximate dates where you know them and mark anything uncertain. The aim is an accurate starting description, not a polished sales pitch.
Keep the value discussion separate from the decision about how to present the home. A proposed asking price, preparation choices, and the timing of a listing are related questions, but each deserves an explanation. Ask what would prompt a reassessment and which comparisons would be revisited. You can then explore the listing marketing plan or arrange a seller consultation to discuss the property in context.
