How to Value a House
How to value a house, in 7 easy steps.
Use the Direct Comparison Method, as follows:
Analyse the whole property (the “subject” of your enquiries), considering the size of the land and buildings, and other built improvements.
Consider the construction type, age, and condition.
Discover recent local sales of other houses, and learn about them online and by doing kerbside inspections.
Analyse those sales in the same way, and decide which are comparable.
Compare the locations, with regard to positive and negative factors.
Form opinions about whether the sales are inferior to, similar to, or superior to the “subject”.
Rank in order all the comparable properties that you have analysed, determine where in the ranking the “subject” best fits, and you will discover its value.
WHO I AM
Back in the 1980's, I worked for some of the large real estate companies, including Knight Frank, and Colliers. But my personality and temperament is best suited to being my own boss, so before long I started my own valuation business. It's been a great pleasure to assist thousands of clients over the years, and today I am as enthusiastic about what I do as the day I launched my business.
Of course, the industry has changed substantially since that time, with technology and database access being aspects of the work that have brought in new processes and practices.
What has not changed about what I do, is the personal and individual service that I provide to my clients, which is why many of them have used my service multiple times over the years!

MY HEAD OFFICE IS IN NEW SOUTH WALES,
AND I HAVE, IN ALL STATES AND TERRITORIES,
ASSOCIATES WHO ARE FULLY LICENCED/REGISTERED/
CERTIFIED VALUERS, TO WHOM I MAY REFER WORK
IN THE EVENT THAT I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO DO
YOUR JOB.

A WIDE VARIETY OF PROPERTY.

WHERE I GO!
Did you know that Sydney is one of the most expensive locations in the world, in terms of the price of real estate?
I certainly know all about that!
My work takes me from the prestige waterfront properties of the northern beaches, to the humble one bedroom units of the western suburbs; from the big commercial properties of the industrial estates, to the tiny office suites in the City.
And every other sort of property and location that you can think of!
Diversity of experience!
That is one more reason for you to feel comfortable when engaging me to value your property.
I've been to your suburb before, and I've seen your type of property before!
"But my property is unique"!
I hear you! And you are right!
And that is just one of the reasons that my job is endlessly interesting to me.
But with all my years of experience, I know how to assess your real estate holdings, and put them in the context of the market.
When you engage me, you are in a safe pair of hands!
So when all is said and done, you will have in your posession a valuation report that is accurate and reliable, and fit for purpose.
This is what you need, and this is what I provide!
Wherever your property is located!
