What does a free home evaluation include?
A home evaluation from me is a written price range for your home, built from homes like yours that have actually sold nearby, not from asking prices or a formula. You get the range, the comparable sales behind it and my reasoning, usually within 1 business day and with no obligation to list.
A range, not a single number
Where your home realistically sits today, with the low and the high end explained, so you can plan around it rather than guess.
The comparables
The recent sales I’d point a buyer’s REALTOR® to: same kind of home, similar size, close by. What they sold for, not what they asked.
My reasoning
Why your suite, lot or updates move the number, and what wouldn’t. The part an online estimate can’t give you.
“…to make sure I understood the market, the pricing decisions and what would ensure we met the timeframe I required.”Manuela Myers, sold in Cloverdale · Google review
Why not just use an online home value estimate?
An online estimate is a useful starting point, but it has never been inside your home. It can’t see a suite, a renovated kitchen, a backyard that backs onto green space or a busy road out front, and in the Fraser Valley those details can move a price a long way.
| Online estimate | Evaluation from Caroline | |
|---|---|---|
| Built from | Public records and an automated model | Recent comparable sales I’ve chosen by hand |
| Knows about suites, updates and lot | Rarely | Yes, you tell me, and I can see it on a walkthrough |
| Explains the number | No | Yes, with the comparables attached |
| Someone to ask | No | Me, by phone, text or email |
| Cost | Free | Free, with no obligation to list |
How does a home evaluation work?
About two minutes on your side. The rest is mine.

Tell me about the home
The address and a few taps: type, bedrooms, bathrooms, condition and your timing. Anything special goes in the notes.

I pull the comparables
I look at what has actually sold near you recently, adjust for the differences, and work out where your home sits.

Home evaluation questions, answered.
Short answers, the way I’d give them in person.
Your home is worth what comparable homes near you have recently sold for, adjusted for the differences: size, updates, a suite, the lot and the street. In Surrey, Langley and Cloverdale those differences can be large, so I build a range from real sales rather than a single automated figure, and send it within 1 business day.
Yes, it’s free, and no, there’s no obligation. Plenty of Fraser Valley homeowners ask for an evaluation to plan a refinance, a renovation or a move that is years away. You get the same range and the same reasoning whether you’re selling next month or just curious, and there’s no sales pitch attached.
They are a reasonable starting point, but they can’t see inside your home. An automated estimate doesn’t know about a legal suite, a new kitchen or a lot that backs onto a busy road, and those are exactly the things that separate one Fraser Valley home from the one next door. A REALTOR® evaluation accounts for them.
Your BC Assessment is a property-tax value set at a fixed date the year before, so it often lags the market. An appraisal is a formal report by a licensed appraiser, usually ordered by a lender. A home evaluation from a REALTOR® is a current range based on recent comparable sales, meant to help you decide whether and when to sell.
No. For your first range I work from what you tell me and from recent sales around your home in Surrey, Langley or wherever it is in the Fraser Valley. If you’d like a sharper number, a short walkthrough lets me see the updates and features in person. That’s your call, never a condition.
I’m based in Cloverdale and work across Surrey, South Surrey, White Rock and Langley, and more widely in the Fraser Valley, BC. If your home is a little further out, send the address anyway. I’ll tell you honestly whether I know that market well enough to give you a useful range.
They come to me, Caroline Jeklin, REALTOR® with Royal LePage Wolstencroft, and they’re used to prepare and send your evaluation. They’re never sold or passed on. If you’d like me to delete them afterwards, email caroline@carolinejeklin.com and I’ll take care of it.
