What Happens Next After You Ask for a Home Value Report

by Joe Johnbosco

You took the first step. You clicked that “Get My Home Value” button, filled out a quick form, and now you're wondering—what actually happens next?

That’s a great question, and it shows you’re thoughtful about your biggest investment. Whether you're just curious, planning a future move, or ready to list, here's what you can expect after requesting a home value report.

1. Your Info Is Received—By a Real Human

Once you submit your request, your name and property address land directly in the inbox of a local real estate professional (hi, that’s me 👋). Unlike those automated "Zestimates," this isn’t just a computer crunching numbers from miles away. Your report is reviewed by someone who understands your neighborhood, local trends, and the story behind the stats.

2. We Begin the Research

This is where the magic starts. Using a combination of MLS data, public records, and recent sales in your area, I’ll analyze:

Comparable homes (comps) that have sold recently
Homes currently on the market (your competition)
Properties that are pending or didn’t sell (important insights!)
Your home’s unique features, upgrades, or condition

We also consider factors like market demand, buyer activity, and even seasonality.

3. You’ll Receive a Custom CMA Report

Within 24–48 hours (depending on the depth of analysis), I’ll deliver a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This isn't a generic ballpark estimate—it’s a clear, tailored report that gives you a realistic picture of what buyers might pay today.

The CMA includes:

Price range estimates based on comparable homes
Days-on-market averages
A breakdown of how your home compares
Next-step options if you’re considering selling

4. We Follow Up—With No Pressure

I’ll follow up to walk you through the report and answer your questions. This isn’t a sales call—it’s a consultation, and the goal is simple: to help you understand your home’s value and what it means for your goals.

If you're thinking of selling now or in the future, we can talk about:

Pre-listing prep
Timing the market
Upgrades that add value
What a realistic sale timeline could look like

And if you're just curious for now? That’s completely fine. I’m here when you're ready.

5. You Have a Local Expert in Your Corner

Here’s the best part—you’re no longer guessing. You have a trusted expert you can reach out to anytime. Whether you decide to sell in 2 weeks or 2 years, you’ve started the conversation with someone who knows your local market and has your best interest at heart.

Bottom Line

Asking for a home value report is more than just getting a number—it’s the beginning of a smart, informed plan for your future. Your home is likely your biggest asset, and it deserves more than a guess from an algorithm.

Let’s work together to understand your equity, explore your options, and plan your next move—on your timeline.
