Question 1

How accurate is a real estate agent's home valuation versus a Zestimate?

Accepted Answer

An agent's expert valuation considers the unit-specific factors that algorithms miss — line and floor on condo towers, view permanence, HOA financial health, condition, finishes, and recent comparable closings within the same building or block. Algorithmic estimates from public sites can miss these factors by 5–15% in Miami's segmented submarkets.

Question 2

How long does the valuation take?

Accepted Answer

Initial confirmation within 4 hours. Full expert valuation report delivered within 24 hours of submission, with comparable closings, suggested pricing range, and market positioning notes.

Question 3

Is this a formal appraisal?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a market-based opinion of value (often called a CMA — Comparative Market Analysis) suitable for pricing strategy, refinancing conversations, divorce settlements, and estate planning. For mortgage funding, divorce court, or formal estate purposes, a licensed Florida appraiser is typically required.

Question 4

Is the service free? What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

The valuation is free with no obligation. The agent provides this service to build relationships with prospective sellers — about 1 in 4 valuation requests turns into a listing within 18 months. There is no upsell, no automated calls, and you can opt out of follow-up communication at any time.

Question 5

Can I request a valuation if I'm not selling soon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many homeowners request a valuation simply to understand their net worth, plan a refinance, or evaluate a long-term move. The 'Just curious' timeline option signals exactly that — and the agent will respect that intent without follow-up sales pressure.

Question 6

Does this work for condominiums and waterfront properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both are core specialties for Miami valuations. Condo valuations weight HOA reserve health, post-Surfside SIRS compliance status, and milestone inspection findings. Waterfront properties weight view permanence, dock specifications, seawall condition, and flood zone designation.
