THE 8 QUESTIONS

Eight questions. Thousands in unlocked value.

We only ask what we need to give you an accurate number. Here's what each question tells us about your home's value, using a $500,000 home as an example.

01
Your property address

So we can pull local sales and market data for your specific neighborhood.

02
Beds & baths

Public records are wrong about 20% of the time — we double-check.

03
Selling timeline?

Calibrates the estimate to today's market or next spring's.

04
How's the kitchen?

Highest-impact single room in almost every market nationwide.

05
Bathrooms?

Buyers notice these more than sellers realize.

06
Main living space?

Beautifully updated or a little tired? Living rooms really set the tone for your home

07
Curb appeal?

First 8 seconds of a showing. Drives offer strength.

08
Upgrades & extras

Solar HVAC, deck, smart appliances can add a lot of value that AVMs don't see.

THE FINAL WORD

Our estimate gets you a starting point. A top local agent closes the rest.

Every estimate comes paired with a free intro to a top 5% agent in your zip code — someone who knows your block and what today's offer looks like.
