WHAT IT IS

What exactly is a letter of opinion?

A letter of opinion  sometimes called an opinion of value or a comparative market analysis letter  is a written, professional assessment of what a property is worth in today’s market. It is grounded in real, recent comparable sales and my first-hand knowledge of the local area, and it gives you a credible figure, in writing, when you need to make an important decision or provide documentation to a lawyer, an estate, or another third party.

I have been preparing more and more of these for families lately, and I have the process down to something thorough, professional, and refreshingly quick.

WHEN PEOPLE COME TO ME

Life moments that call for a clear answer

These are sensitive situations. I approach every one of them with discretion, empathy and zero pressure.

Divorce & separation

When assets are being divided, both parties need a fair, defensible sense of what the family home is worth. A clear opinion of value helps the conversation move forward with less friction and more certainty.

Estate & probate

After losing a loved one, families often need a documented value of a property for the estate, the will, or simply to decide whether to keep or sell it. I handle these quietly and with genuine care.

Planning & peace of mind

Sometimes you just need to know where you stand: for financial planning, a refinancing conversation, or your own decision-making. A written opinion gives you solid ground to stand on.

WHY IT HOLDS UP

Grounded in real data, prepared personally

This is not a number pulled from an online estimator. Every letter I write is built on the same rigour I bring to pricing a home for sale, and it comes from someone who actually works these streets every day.

STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING

One clear, professional fee.

$200

per letter + Tax

A single flat fee per property: no hourly billing, no drawn-out process, no surprises. Just a polished, professional document, turned around quickly.

Already buying or selling with me? It’s on me.

If we are working together on a purchase or sale, your letter of opinion is complimentary. It is simply part of how I look after my clients.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple, and quick

No complicated intake, no waiting around. Here is the whole process.

01

Reach out

Tell me the property and a little about why you need the letter. A few sentences is plenty.

02

Share the details

Send the address and any specifics. If a quick look at the property helps, we will arrange it.

03

I prepare it

I pull the real comparables, apply local insight, and write a clear, professional opinion of value.

04

You receive it

A polished letter lands in your inbox, fast and ready to share with your lawyer, the estate, or whoever needs it.

A quick, honest note on appraisals

A REALTOR’s opinion of value is not the same as a formal appraisal completed by a designated appraiser. For many divorce and estate matters it is exactly what is needed. But if your lawyer or the court specifically requires a certified appraisal, just let me know and I will gladly point you in the right direction.
