Agent's Comments

From the mind of a top producing real estate agent

This is just a range of potential value — $669K to $754K. We had 8 strong comparable sales to work with, so I feel good about this range. If the property needs a lot of work, it would sit at the lower end — and we can position it for a cash investor. If it has all the upgrades — new kitchen, updated baths, hardwood floors, a screened-in porch, pool, or other features we can't see in this report — it could push the value well above this range. That's what a walk-through tells us that the data can't.

This commentary is generated from public data and comparable sales — not a formal appraisal. A walk-through and local agent analysis are always recommended.
