Why a Realtor’s Report Beats Online Estimates

Online tools like Zillow, Redfin and OpenDoor give quick home value estimates, but they can’t tell the full story. These estimates are based on basic math and can miss the details that make your home special, like recent upgrades, unique features, neighborhood nuances, or even the view from your backyard. That’s where the Klapper Group's expertise comes in.

A Neighborhood Market Report gives you an overview of your local housing market. It shows what homes nearby are selling for and general trends, like whether prices are going up or down. It’s great for understanding the big picture in your area.

A Custom Market Analysis (CMA) is all about your home. Our team compares your house to similar ones that recently sold, taking into account everything that makes your home unique—like your updated kitchen, new flooring, or prime location near great schools. This creates a more accurate value tailored just for your property. Keep in mind: the South Bay, especially the Beach Cities and Palos Verdes, is very unique and values can differ greatly from street-to-street and lot-to-lot.

The difference? A neighborhood market report is broad and gives you general info about the area, while a CMA digs deep and focuses on your home specifically. Realtors who are local experts also understand what buyers want and what’s happening in your market right now, so their reports are exceedingly more accurate than what an online tool can give you.
