What is your home worth in today's market?
Request a free, no-obligation home valuation for Greater Philadelphia or South Jersey — a market analysis prepared personally by Samantha Mallon, SRES®, using recent comparable sales and what is competing for buyers right now. Not an instant algorithm guess: a number you can actually plan around, with the reasoning to back it up.
Free, private, and useful even if selling is a year or more away. No obligation to list.
What your valuation includes
This is the same analysis Samantha prepares when pricing a home for market — shared with you up front, in plain language.
- 01
Recent comparable sales
What homes like yours actually sold for nearby — not asking prices, closed prices — and why certain sales matter more than others for your home.
- 02
Your current competition
What is on the market right now that a buyer would weigh against your home, and how that shapes a realistic range.
- 03
A pricing range with reasoning
Not a single mysterious number. A range, the logic behind it, and the factors that could move you toward the top or bottom of it.
- 04
Prep worth doing — and skipping
An honest read on what would help your home show well, and what rarely returns the cost. No pressure toward projects you do not need.
- 05
Net proceeds context
A plain-language look at the costs of selling in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, so the number you plan around is the one you actually keep.
Why not just use an instant estimate?
Automated estimates are a reasonable starting point — and Samantha will tell you when one happens to be close. But an algorithm has never walked your block. It does not know that your kitchen was renovated in 2021, that the “comparable” two streets over backs onto a busy road, or that buyers in your neighborhood are currently competing over homes like yours. Those details routinely move a price by tens of thousands of dollars in either direction.
Samantha's background — a finance degree from Rutgers, a master's in analytics from Georgia Tech, and years in management consulting at Deloitte — means the analysis is genuinely analytical, not a sales number dressed up to win your listing. If the honest answer is a lower range than you hoped, you will hear that too, along with what could change it.
How it works
Tell Samantha about your home
The form takes about a minute. Address or neighborhood, plus anything that matters — timeline, condition, whether this is for you or a parent.
She prepares your analysis by hand
Samantha pulls comparable sales and current listings for your specific block and housing type, then applies judgment an algorithm cannot: condition, layout, light, timing.
You get the full picture — no strings
A clear range, the reasoning, and answers to your questions. Useful whether you sell next month, next year, or decide to stay put.

Home valuation questions, answered
How is this different from a Zillow Zestimate?
An automated estimate is a statistical model that has never seen your home. It cannot account for condition, renovations, layout, light, or how your specific block is selling right now. Samantha prepares a comparative market analysis by hand — the same analysis used to price homes that actually go to market — and explains the reasoning behind the range, not just the number.
Is the home valuation really free? Is there any obligation?
Yes, it is free, and no, there is no obligation to list your home. Many homeowners request a valuation one to three years before they plan to move, simply to plan. That is a completely normal way to use it.
What information do you need from me?
Your name, contact details, and the property address or neighborhood. Anything extra — recent updates, condition, your timeline — makes the analysis sharper, but it is not required to get started.
How long does it take to receive my valuation?
Samantha typically follows up within one to two business days. Because each analysis is prepared by hand for your specific property, it is not instant — that is what makes it worth having.
Do I need to be ready to sell before requesting one?
No. A valuation is most useful early, when you are still weighing options — downsizing, helping a parent decide, or just wanting to know where you stand. There is no pressure to act on it.
What areas do you cover?
Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey — Philadelphia neighborhoods, the nearby Pennsylvania suburbs, and South Jersey towns. Samantha is licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. If your property falls outside her area, she will say so and point you to someone credible.
Can I request a valuation for a parent’s home or an inherited property?
Yes. Samantha works often with adult children helping parents plan a move, and with families handling inherited or estate property. Note in the form who the home belongs to and where things stand — she will meet the situation where it is.
Will my information be shared or sold?
No. Your details go directly to Samantha, who reads every request herself. Your information is not sold to other agents or lead companies. See the privacy policy for full details.
Knowing what your home is worth is the first step of almost every plan — selling, downsizing, or staying put with confidence.
