Locally owned · As seen on HGTV
You're backed by HGTV's Luke Caldwell
Your valuation comes from a team locally owned by Luke Caldwell, star of HGTV's Boise Boys and Outgrown, who has restored 100+ Treasure Valley homes. That is a designer-builder's read on what your home is really worth.
Price it right
The right price attracts the right buyers
Homes priced to real, local comparable sales draw stronger offers and sell faster than a hopeful guess.

The process
What happens after you send the form
No mystery and no call centre. Here is the whole sequence, including the part where you can stop at any point without owing anything.
- 01
You send the basics
Address and property type to start, plus anything you already know about condition, recent work, or your timeline. It takes a minute and nothing is shared outside the team.
- 02
An agent reviews it, usually within one business day
A licensed agent on the team picks it up personally. There is no call centre and no lead routing to a stranger, so the person who contacts you is the person who would represent you.
- 03
We pull and read the comparable sales
Recent sales near you that genuinely compare on size, age, condition, and location, read against current buyer demand rather than a valley-wide average. This is the part an automated estimate cannot do, because it has never seen inside your home.
- 04
We walk the property where it helps
Condition, layout, updates, and the things photographs miss all move the number. For some homes a conversation is enough; for others, seeing it in person changes the pricing materially.
- 05
You get a price range and the reasoning
Not a single number with no explanation. A range, the comparable sales behind it, and what would move you toward the top or bottom of it.
- 06
We talk through strategy, if you want to
Pricing, preparation, timing, and a seller net sheet showing estimated proceeds after costs. No cost, and no obligation to list with us or anyone.
What you get
What a valuation actually gives you
- A price range with the comparable sales it is based on
- What specifically about your home moves it up or down within that range
- A seller net sheet estimating proceeds after commission, closing costs, and payoff
- A realistic read on timing for your price point, community, and season
- A preparation list, prioritised by what actually changes the outcome
An instant estimate and a valuation are different things
An automated estimate is a statistical guess built from public records and past sales. It is a useful starting point and it is genuinely instant, which is why it is offered below. What it cannot know is the condition of your kitchen, the work you did last year, how your lot compares to the one that sold two streets over, or what buyers in your price band are currently competing for. A valuation is an agent reading those things against real comparable sales. The gap between the two is often the difference between a home that sells and a home that sits.
Before you send it
Questions sellers ask first
An agent normally responds within one business day. How quickly you get the finished valuation depends on whether a walkthrough helps for your property and when it suits you, so it is worth saying in the form if you are working to a deadline.
No to both. There is no fee and no obligation to list, with us or with anyone. Sellers regularly ask for a valuation a year or more before they move, and that is a sensible way to use it.
Automated estimates work from public records and past sales. They cannot see condition, updates, layout, or how your specific lot compares, and they do not know what buyers in your band are competing for right now. Those factors are exactly what an agent valuation reads.
Not always. For some properties the comparable sales and a conversation are enough. For others, especially homes with significant updates or unusual features, seeing it in person changes the pricing materially. We will tell you which applies to yours.
That is a normal reason to ask. A valuation tells you where you stand and what would improve the number before you list, which is more useful early than it is the week you put the sign up.
