What Your East Bay Home Is Worth
Real comps and real data for your specific street, not a city-wide average. The way I told one seller we could get more, and her home sold well above asking.
What a Real Home Valuation Means in the East Bay
"What's my home actually worth" is a different question than what an automated online estimate gives you, especially in the East Bay, where a huge share of the housing stock is 75 to 100-plus years old and no algorithm can see inside a wall to tell you what condition it's really in.
A real number comes from real comps for your specific street, not a city-wide average, combined with an honest read of your home's actual condition, foundation, systems, additions done well or badly, that only comes from someone who's walked the property. That's the number I give every seller before we talk about listing anything, whether you're getting ready to sell now or just want to know where you stand.

How Tanja Odzak Delivers a Real Valuation
I pull real comps for your specific street and combine them with a walkthrough where I read the property's actual condition myself, not a generic checklist, because a spreadsheet comp can't see foundation work, deferred maintenance, or an addition that was done well versus one that wasn't. I tell you the number straight, including the times I think it's worth more than you'd expect.
I've told a seller we could get more for her home than she believed was possible. She didn't think I was right. Her home sold well above asking. That's not a fluke, it's what happens when the number reflects what the data and the market actually support instead of what feels safe to ask. This valuation is free, no obligation, and it's the same process whether you're listing next month or just curious.
Our Process / What You Get
Getting your home valued starts with a conversation about your property and, if you're open to it, a walkthrough so I can see its real condition, not just its square footage. From there: real comps pulled for your specific street, an honest number that accounts for the East Bay's older housing stock and whatever makes your home different from the one next door, and a straight answer about whether now is a good time to sell or whether waiting makes more sense for you.
There's no obligation attached to any of this, and no pressure to list before you're ready. If you decide to move forward, the same MCNE-level negotiation and marketing that goes into every listing I take goes into yours. Read the full step-by-step on how I sell a home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide on a listing price?
Real comps and real data for your specific street, not a city-wide average. I'll tell you the number straight, including when I think we can get more than you'd expect, the way I told one seller we could get more and her home sold well above asking.
Is the valuation really free?
Yes, no obligation. I'll give you a real number whether you're listing next month or just want to know where you stand.
How is this different from the online estimate I already got?
An online estimate can't walk your home. I read the real condition of the property myself, especially important in the East Bay's older housing stock, and that gets built into the number instead of surfacing as a surprise later.
