Home Value
What’s My Home Worth?
Request a sharper Tampa Bay home-value opinion grounded in comps, condition, seller net, and actual local market context.
How It Works
A sharper process than an automated estimate
A portal estimate can be a rough starting point. It is not a strategy. The value conversation needs to account for condition, likely buyer demand, neighborhood context, and what you would actually net after the sale.
Micro-market pricing
Value in Tampa Bay changes fast by block, school zone, product type, and condition. This process starts with real comparables, not a generic nationwide formula.
Prep and positioning
The price is only part of the answer. The better question is how condition, presentation, and likely buyer profile affect what you can actually net.
Strategy, not just a number
Sometimes the right move is to list immediately. Sometimes it is to improve, hold, rent, or sell later. This page creates room for that conversation.
What Automated Estimates Miss
Why local pricing guidance still matters
Condition and prep
Two homes with the same square footage can perform very differently once condition, updates, and presentation are factored in.
Buyer fit
Some homes attract owner-occupants, some investors, and some both. That changes pricing, marketing, and the right timing strategy.
Seller net
The useful number is not just price. It is what you likely keep after commissions, taxes, title, payoff, and prep decisions.

Value opinions should be backed by actual closings and seller outcomes
Automated estimates cannot show how local pricing, seller strategy, and real public results fit together. This section should.

Dillon was great throughout the whole sales transaction of one of my rental properties that was a little difficult, but he was very knowledgeable and found solutions to every problem that came up. He made a difficult transaction feel manageable and really took the stress out of the entire process. He is very knowledgeable at what he does and very professional. I will definitely be contacting him for other transactions in the future.
Request
Tell Dillon about the property and timing
Use this page when the question is not just, “What does an automated estimate say?” but “What is my property likely worth in the current market, and what should I do with that information?”
A good home-value conversation includes comparable sales, neighborhood demand, likely buyer profile, prep decisions, timing, and the seller net after real-world costs. The point is to start with a sharper local opinion than an anonymous portal estimate can provide.

Seller Questions
Questions people usually ask before they request pricing help
How do I buy and sell at the same time?
It is a juggling act, but it is doable with the right plan. The key is timing your sale and purchase so you are not stuck paying two mortgages or left without a place to live.
Sometimes that means listing your current home first with a flexible closing date. Other times it means making the purchase contingent on selling your current home. There are also options like rent-backs, short-term rentals, or using equity to bridge the gap. I walk clients through each scenario and the numbers behind it.
How long does it usually take to close in Tampa Bay?
Most closings in the Tampa Bay area take 30 to 45 days from contract to keys in hand. Cash deals can close in under two weeks, while VA, FHA, and conventional loans often take closer to 45 days.
The biggest factors affecting the timeline are financing, inspections, repairs when necessary, and appraisal. I help keep the process moving by coordinating directly with lenders, inspectors, and title companies.
What closing costs do sellers usually pay in Tampa Bay?
Sellers generally pay 6% to 8% of the sale price in total transaction costs, with the bulk being the real estate commission. Other seller costs can include owner's title insurance if agreed in the contract, documentary stamp tax on the deed, HOA estoppel and payoff fees when applicable, prorated property taxes, and any outstanding liens or mortgage payoffs.
I provide both buyers and sellers with a net sheet early in the process so they can see an accurate breakdown before we are under contract.
