Why an Online Estimate Isn’t Enough
It’s never been inside. It can’t see a new roof, an updated kitchen, or the repairs you’ve been putting off.
It doesn’t know your street. Lot, view, water, traffic and which nearby sales truly compare all change the number, and an algorithm guesses at them.
It stops at a price. It won’t tell you what you’d actually walk away with after costs, or which fixes are worth doing before you sell.
Most Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater sellers end up choosing between a guess and a guess. You deserve a real local value.
Your Free Home Value Report
Here’s what’s included:
A broker-prepared value range based on recent Olympia-area sales that actually compare to your home
A net-proceeds estimate: roughly what you’d walk away with after commission, closing costs and excise tax
An optional cash-offer comparison, only if you want one, so you can see both numbers side by side
A “fix it or skip it” list: which small updates are likely worth it, and which aren’t
COST TO YOU: $0. NO OBLIGATION. NO PRESSURE.
Three Simple Steps
1. Tell me where the home is. Your name, phone, email and the property address. That’s it.
2. I prepare your value. I’ll review recent Olympia-area sales and reach out with a few quick questions about updates and condition, so your range reflects your actual home.
3. Get your report and decide what’s next. List, compare a cash offer, or simply keep the number for later. It’s your call.

WHAT SELLERS SAY
“Ryan is hands-down, one of the best realtors you could ever work with. As a first time home seller, he worked with me every step of the way from start to finish, helping to make the process stress free. I would highly recommend working with Ryan and his amazing team for all your realty needs.” — Yvonne Patnude
“We had an excellent experience with Ryan and his team. This was my first time selling a house and he made the process as painless as possible. I was in a situation where I was moving across the state before the sale of my house, so I needed a realtor that was on top of it for me. Ryan more than delivered on his promise of a quick smooth sale. I was able to close in 30 days for full asking price and that's counting the time it was on the market! His knowledge of the constraints and requirements of the various type of loans available was indispensable. This knowledge gave me an advantage, as it allowed me to make corrections to my house before it even got inspected. The increased the bargaining power I had when it was time to go on the market allowed me to get full market value for my home.” — Logan Heaton

Straight Answers
How is this different from an online estimate?
An online estimate is a computer's guess from public records. Your report is prepared by me, a licensed broker, from recent Olympia-area sales that actually compare to your home, adjusted for the things an algorithm can't see.
Am I signing anything or committing to sell?
No. This just gets you your value. You only sign something if you later decide to list or accept an offer.
Do I have to get a cash offer?
No. The cash-offer comparison is optional. If you'd like one, just tell me when we talk. Cash offers may come from Sound Home Buyer, a company I have an ownership interest in, and I'll confirm that in writing before you decide anything. You're never obligated to accept.
Should I fix anything up first?
No. Get your value as the home is today. Your “fix it or skip it” list will show which small updates are likely worth it and which aren't.
I'm not planning to sell for a while. Is this still useful?
Yes. Knowing your value and your likely net helps you plan, whether you're months or years away. Your info is only used to contact you about your home.
