What's my home worth?
An online number is a guess. A real estimate is a strategy.
Automated estimates can't see your new kitchen, your quiet street or the work you've put in. My free estimate looks at what really drives value:
- Recent comparable salesSimilar homes nearby that actually sold, not just asking prices.
- Condition & updatesKitchens, baths, systems, roof and the care you've taken.
- Location & lotStreet, schools, transit, lot size and setting.
- Current marketActive competition and buyer demand right now.

FAQ
Questions I hear every week.
How much is my home worth?
The most accurate answer comes from a comparative market analysis: I look at recent nearby sales of similar homes, then adjust for your home's condition, updates, lot and location. Online estimates are a useful starting point, but they can't see inside your home. Request your free estimate above and I'll prepare one personally.
What does it cost to sell a home in New Jersey?
Typical seller costs include the real estate commission (always negotiable), New Jersey's Realty Transfer Fee (paid by the seller), attorney fees, and any agreed repairs or credits. On sales over $1 million, the seller also pays New Jersey's Graduated Percent Fee (1%–3.5%). The Net Proceeds calculator above gives you an estimate in seconds.
Do I need an attorney to buy or sell in New Jersey?
Most New Jersey buyers and sellers use a real estate attorney, and residential contracts prepared by agents typically include a three-business-day attorney review period. I'm happy to coordinate with your attorney from contract to closing.
How long will it take to sell my home?
It depends on price, condition, location and the season. Homes that are well prepared, accurately priced and professionally marketed generally attract the strongest interest in their first weeks, which is exactly what my plan is built around.
Should I renovate before I sell?
Usually not a full renovation. Small, smart improvements such as paint, lighting, minor repairs, decluttering and staging often matter more. I'll walk through your home and tell you honestly what's worth doing and what isn't.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes. I'll explain every step, from mortgage pre-approval to inspections, attorney review and closing, so you always know what's next. Download the free First-Time Buyer's Guide to get started.
