While platforms like Zillow and Redfin provide estimates, they are often inaccurate—on average, they can be off by 7%, with some estimates missing the mark by even more. This margin of error can lead to costly mistakes, leaving money on the table due to incorrect pricing.
Many realtors fail to provide a truly accurate comparative market analysis (CMA). Too often, they act as “yes men,” telling you what they think you want to hear, knowing that once they secure your business, it’s difficult and costly for you to switch. This can result in poor pricing decisions that cause your home to sit on the market for too long, leading to multiple price reductions and attracting lower offers.
We believe that every home is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. That’s why we offer an honest evaluation backed by data, with multiple pricing strategies tailored to your specific property. Our comprehensive CMA goes beyond the basics, using every available market trend, statistic, and data point to ensure you’re positioned to sell confidently. With our accurate pricing, you’ll avoid the pitfalls of over- or under-pricing and maximize the value of your home.

Contingencies are contractual conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. Common buyer contingencies include approximately 7-10+ days for home inspection & investigations, 10-17 days for appraisal & 17 days for financing (for a buyer to secure their loan). Buyers have the right to back out penalty free (or request repairs/credit) due to findings during the investigation period, if the home does not appraise or if they can not get their loan for any reason. A buyer’s contingencies can impact the timeline and certainty of the sale.
