Methodology
A home-value estimate tells a homeowner what a property may sell for. Get Ready. Sell. Go. is designed to help the homeowner understand what they may actually walk away with after likely costs, preparation, timing, and transaction tradeoffs.
Depending on the property and available information, the Seller Decision Engine can compare selling directly for cash, selling on the market today, and preparing first. The preparation path can model targeted and fuller scopes when useful. Each scenario separates the estimated sale price from preparation, repairs, commissions, seller closing costs, concessions, holding costs, timeline, effort, and certainty.
Estimated net proceeds = sale price − preparation − repairs − commissions − seller closing costs − concessions − holding costs − other selling expenses
Photo-informed observations can be mapped to DO, CONSIDER, or SKIP recommendations. Cost ranges use Capital Region planning assumptions, and potential value effects vary by repair category rather than applying one universal return percentage.
Projected improvement effects are limited by the property’s prepared-value ceiling. Malformed or unavailable photo analysis is not converted into findings; the original estimate remains intact and a local review can verify uncertain assumptions.

The starting value range is based on available market and property data plus the condition information provided. It is a starting point, not an appraisal.
Each selling path may include different preparation, repair, commission, closing, concession, and holding-cost assumptions.
Estimated proceeds compare what may remain after the sale price is reduced by scenario-specific costs and obligations.
Confidence improves when property facts are corrected, useful photos are provided, or a local review confirms assumptions.
