FAQs

How do you determine my home's value?

We provide a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), not just an automated estimate. We analyze recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood, current market trends, and the unique features of your property to determine the most competitive listing price to maximize your sale.

Is the home valuation accurate? / How accurate is Zillow's 'Zestimate'?

Online estimators use broad algorithms and can't account for your home's specific condition, upgrades, or unique lot. Our CMA is prepared by Andonia, a local expert who understands the hyper-local market, giving you a precise, actionable value.

What's the difference between this and an appraisal?

An appraisal is for the bank to confirm value for a loan. Our CMA is for you—it's a strategic pricing tool designed by an agent to attract the right buyers and get you the best possible price in the current market.

Am I obligated to list with you if I get a valuation?

Not at all. The valuation and consultation are completely free and without any obligation. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for your family.

How long does the selling process take?

A common timeline is 2-3 months from listing to closing, with strong interest often within the first few weeks of our targeted marketing. The more strategic question is: 'Is selling quickly or achieving the absolute highest price more important for your goals?' Our approach is tailored based on your answer. We will provide a personalized timeline and strategy during our consultation, balancing speed and value to get you the best possible outcome.

Is now a good time to sell?

That's the right question to ask, and with expert strategy and advocacy, the answer can be 'yes.' Real estate is defined by hyper-local 'micro-climates'—what's happening on your street matters more than a national headline. A skilled negotiator creates opportunity in any market, and there are always qualified buyers for a home that is well-presented and strategically marketed. We provide a precise analysis of your immediate area's conditions and craft a data-driven plan to position your home for maximum success, turning any climate to your advantage.

What are the costs of selling my home?

That's the most important question, because your true goal isn't to minimize costs—it's to maximize the money you keep. Our role is to be your strategic partner in achieving exactly that. Think of our agreement not as a 'cost,' but as a performance-based partnership. Our compensation is directly tied to successfully advocating for you and securing the highest possible price for your most valuable asset. We protect that asset by investing in professional marketing that gets top buyers competing, by leveraging data to price it perfectly, and by negotiating so fiercely that we often cover our fee many times over in the final sale price. Before you decide anything, we will provide you with a Guaranteed Net Proceeds Analysis showing two scenarios: one with our partnership, and one without it. This way, you can make a fully informed decision on where you'll achieve the best financial outcome.
