Your number, built on data. Not hope.
Most agents pull an online estimate, round it to a nice number, and call that a pricing strategy. I run the real data instead: recent comparable sales, current demand, and what is actually happening on your street right now.
There are two ways to price a home.
One takes five minutes and a guess. The other takes real work. Only one of them protects what you walk away with.
An estimate, rounded up.
- Pull a number from Zillow or Redfin and nudge it by feel
- Suggest a price high enough to win the listing appointment
- Wait a few weeks, then recommend a price cut if it does not move
- Compare your home to whatever "sold nearby" shows up first
A number, worked out.
- Pull the closed sales that are genuinely comparable to your home
- Track live absorption rate and days on market for your specific corridor
- Weigh current inventory and buyer demand, not last quarter's numbers
- Walk you through the underlying data, not just a final figure
What actually goes into your number.
Six inputs, weighed together every time. Not one figure spit out by an algorithm.
Recent Comparable Sales
What homes like yours have truly closed for nearby, not what is currently listed and still sitting.
Condition & Updates
What is original, what has been updated, and which of those updates a buyer will actually pay more for.
Current Demand & Inventory
How many buyers are active right now, weighed against how many homes like yours they have to choose from.
Timing
The season, the rate environment, and what else is scheduled to hit the market right behind you.
Your Buyer
The specific kind of buyer your home will speak to, and what that buyer is comparing it against.
Location & Lot
Two homes with the same floor plan don't sell for the same price if one backs to quiet woods and the other faces a busy road. Your exact street, lot, and setting get weighed, not just the neighborhood average.
None of this is theoretical. Below is the same live market snapshot I start every pricing conversation with.

Priced to sell, not to win your listing.
Here's a game most sellers never see coming: plenty of agents quote a high number just to win your signature, then start pushing price cuts a few weeks later once the home sits. I'd rather give you the honest number up front, even when someone down the street is promising you more.
An inflated price feels good for about two weeks. Then the showings dry up, buyers start wondering what's wrong with it, and the home sells for less than it would have if it were priced right from day one. My job is to land on the real number, not to flatter you into a listing.
If I price it too high
It sits. Buyers start assuming something's wrong with it, the listing goes stale, and stale homes sell for less. Overpricing quietly costs you the most.
If I price it too low
Price it low and that money's gone for good. Neither mistake is acceptable, which is why your number is built on data you can actually see, not a hunch.
