🏡 Quick question: Is a Zestimate the same as an appraisal? 📊

Short answer? Not quite.

Online estimates can be helpful for a general idea—but they don’t see the upgrades, condition, craftsmanship, or unique details that make your home your home.

A professional appraisal looks deeper, using local market data and real property insight to provide a clearer picture of value.

Because when big decisions are involved, accuracy matters.

🏡 A home’s value is shaped by more than just location. 📊

Sometimes, the smallest things can have the biggest impact.

Things like deferred maintenance, outdated systems, curb appeal, and even over-customization can influence how a property is viewed in today’s market.

The good news? Knowing what matters helps you make smarter decisions for the future.

Because understanding value starts with understanding the details.
