How It Works
A Real Number, From a Real Conversation
Online estimators can only get you so far. Amanda prepares a comparable market analysis of recent neighborhood sales, then follows up personally to walk you through what your home is really worth — and what could increase that number before you list.

How It's Calculated
What Goes Into an East Bay Home Valuation
Comparable Sales
Recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood carry the most weight — same school boundaries, similar square footage, similar lot. In markets like Lafayette and Orinda, values can shift noticeably from one street to the next.
Condition & Updates
Kitchens, bathrooms, roof age, and systems all factor in. So does deferred maintenance — buyers price it into their offers, usually higher than the actual repair cost.
Timing & Competition
How many similar homes are on the market right now, how quickly they're selling, and where interest rates sit all move the number.
Online estimators use public data and broad averages. A comparative market analysis accounts for what your home is actually like inside — which is usually where the difference shows up. Once you have a number, the selling process and preparation options are the natural next steps.
Common Questions
Home Valuations: Common Questions
Is the home valuation really free?
Yes — there's no cost and no obligation to list with Amanda. It's simply a starting point for understanding your home's value.
How accurate is a comparative market analysis?
A CMA is generally more accurate than an automated online estimate because it accounts for your home's specific condition, upgrades and recent comparable sales Amanda selects by hand.
How long does it take to get my valuation?
Amanda typically follows up personally within a day or two of your request to discuss your home and next steps.
