I’d Like to Get My Home Valued, But I’m Not Ready for a Full Valuation—What Are My Options?

Thinking about moving but not quite ready to take the plunge? Or maybe you’re just curious about what your home is worth in today’s market?

Many homeowners hesitate to book a valuation because they worry it will lead to pressure to sell—but that’s not how it should be. At Olivers, we believe that understanding your home’s value is an information-gathering step, not a commitment.
That’s why we offer three flexible valuation options, so you can get the insights you need—on your terms.

1. Instant Online Valuation – A Quick Starting Point
💻 Best for: Homeowners who want a ballpark figure instantly.
⚡ Pros:
✔️ Quick and convenient—get an estimate in seconds.
✔️ No appointment needed.
✔️ A useful first step to see if selling is worth considering.
❗ Keep in mind: Online valuations are based on automated data and don’t consider recent renovations, unique features, or local market trends. For a more accurate figure, consider a desktop or in-person valuation.



2. Desktop Valuation – A More Tailored Estimate Without a Visit
📝 Best for: Homeowners who want a more accurate valuation but aren’t ready for an in-person appointment.
✅ What it includes:
✔️ A professional review of recent sales data and market trends.
✔️ A valuation based on the property’s history and online information.
✔️ No need for a home visit—just provide a few details.
💡 Perfect if you’re in the early stages of thinking about selling and want a more realistic idea of what your home is worth.

3. In-Person Valuation – The Most Accurate, No-Obligation Option
🏡 Best for: Homeowners who want the most precise valuation and expert advice on preparing for a sale.
✅ What’s included:
✔️ A full walkthrough of your property to assess condition, improvements, and unique selling points.
✔️ Expert advice on small changes that could boost your property’s value.
✔️ A realistic pricing strategy based on current demand and local competition.

🔹 There’s no pressure—just expert insight to help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
Not Ready to Sell Yet? That’s OK.

A valuation isn’t a commitment to sell—it’s a helpful tool to understand your home’s potential and plan for the future.

📊 Curious about your home’s value? Choose the option that works best for you:
📍 Get an instant online estimate
📍 Request a desktop appraisal
📍 Book an in-person valuation with no obligation
