FREE HOME EVALUATION

How Long Does a Home Evaluation Take?

Getting a home evaluation is simpler and faster than most people think.

The in-person walkthrough usually takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of your home. During this time, one of our team members will visit your property, take notes, and ask you a few simple questions about any upgrades or changes you’ve made.

After the visit, we typically deliver your custom pricing proposal within 24 to 48 hours.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect:

Day 1- You complete the form and schedule your consultation. We’ll reach out to confirm a time that works for you.

Day 1 or 2- A Sam Valji team expert visits your home. The walkthrough is relaxed and pressure-free. You don’t need to prepare anything special.

Day 2 or 3- You receive your personalized home evaluation report, including a recommended price range based on current market conditions in your area.

That’s it. No obligations, no pressure—just clear, honest information about what your home is worth today.

What Do We Look At During the Evaluation?

Every home is different, and we treat it that way.

When our team visits your property, we look at a combination of factors that directly affect your home’s value in today’s market:

• Your Home’s Size and Layout- Square footage matters, but so does how the space is used. An open-concept layout or an extra bathroom can make a meaningful difference in your final number.
• The Condition of Your Home- The roof, windows, flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms all factor in. Well-maintained homes tend to sell faster and for more money.
• Upgrades and Renovations- A finished basement, a renovated kitchen, new appliances—any improvements you’ve made are taken into account. Even smaller updates can add real value.
• Your Neighbourhood and Location- Proximity to schools, transit, parks, and shopping all play a role. We also look at how your street and neighbourhood are performing in the current market.
• Recent Sales Nearby- We compare your home to similar properties that have recently sold in your area, providing a realistic, data-driven assessment of your home’s current market value.
• Current Market Conditions- The real estate market is constantly changing. We factor in whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market in your specific area of the GTA, so your evaluation reflects what’s happening today—not six months ago.

Every detail matters when it comes to pricing your home correctly. That’s why we never rely on just one or two factors—we look at the full picture. The result is an evaluation you can actually trust, backed by real data and decades of experience selling homes across the GTA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the home evaluation really free?

Yes, completely. There are no hidden fees, no obligations, and no pressure to list your home after the evaluation. Our goal is simply to give you an accurate picture of what your home is worth in today’s market—what you do with that information is entirely up to you.

Do I need to clean or stage my home before the visit?

Not at all. You don’t need to prepare anything special. Our team is here to assess your home as it is, not to judge how it looks on a given day. Just be yourself and let us take care of the rest.

How is this different from an online home estimate tool?

Online tools use general data and algorithms that don’t account for the specific details of your home or neighbourhood. Our evaluation is done in person by an experienced real estate professional who considers your home’s unique features, recent local sales, and current market conditions—giving you a far more accurate and reliable number.

Will I be pressured to list my home with Sam Valji?

Never. We believe in building relationships based on trust, not pressure. Many of our clients come back to us when they’re ready to sell simply because of the honest, no-obligation experience they had during their evaluation. The decision to list is always 100% yours.

How soon can I book my evaluation?
