How we arrive at a price, in writing
What goes into the price range we send after we walk your house, what we leave out, and why we do not use an automated estimate.
When someone asks what their place would sell for, we walk the house first. Then we write it down, so you can read it again later and hold us to it.
The homes behind the number
We start with what has closed nearby in the last six months, and we say which sales we used and why. A house two blocks away can be a better match than the one next door, if the one next door has a new addition.
What we would fix, and what we would not
Paint and a clean yard usually pay for themselves. A new kitchen right before a sale usually does not. We put both lists in the letter.
A range, not a promise
You get a low number and a high number, and the reasons for each. No one can tell you the exact price of a house before buyers have seen it, and we would be wary of anyone who says they can.
