Begin with the current property
The address, property type, occupancy and known condition provide the starting point. Distinguish completed improvements from planned work and tell us which records or inspection reports are available.
Eddie and Raul bring different perspectives to the review: the real estate opportunity and the practical work involved in improving a property. The purpose is to understand whether an acquisition could make sense, not to apply a universal discount to every home.
Consider the project and its uncertainties
A buyer may consider relevant sales, expected repairs, carrying expenses, transaction costs and the risk of unknown conditions. A rental property also raises questions about existing income, leases, expenses and future maintenance.
These inputs require judgment and verification. An online estimate may not reflect a damaged roof, a tenancy, a permit question or the scope of work under consideration. Ask what information a proposal relies on and what is still conditional.
Review the terms as well as the price
Timing, inspections, access, possession and agreed expenses affect the usefulness of an offer. Written terms should identify the buyer and conditions. A discussion, website search or preliminary estimate is not a binding purchase offer.
805 does not display an automatic property valuation here. The next step is a property review, and any potential offer depends on the information available and further evaluation.

Questions worth asking
Do you pay a fixed percentage of Zillow’s estimate?
No fixed-percentage calculator is offered on this website. A potential purchase is evaluated using property-specific information.
Does searching my address create an offer?
No. A search or inquiry begins a conversation; it is not an appraisal, commitment or purchase contract.
