Today's Net Sale Value
A comp-backed range — high case, mid case, low case — built from homes that actually sold (not just listed) in your catchment in the last 60–90 days.
I'll send you both — your true net sale value and your real next-home ceiling — within one business day. Comp-backed. Mortgage payout, commission, legal and PTT included. No Zestimate guesswork.

A Coquitlam home evaluation is a REALTOR®-prepared estimate of what your home would sell for in today’s local market — based on recent comparable sales, condition, lot, and location, not on a generic algorithm. Online estimates like Zestimate or HouseSigma use machine-learned models against data they don’t have full access to; a real evaluation reconciles those with active listings, sold comparables, and the specific micro-market your property sits in. Craig delivers Coquitlam evaluations as an Equity Map — three numbers (net sale value, true available equity, realistic next-home ceiling) on a one-page brief, free, no obligation, usually within one business day.
A list price doesn't help you make a decision. What you actually need is the difference between today's net sale value, your real available equity, and the ceiling on your next home. Here's what's on the sheet.
A comp-backed range — high case, mid case, low case — built from homes that actually sold (not just listed) in your catchment in the last 60–90 days.
Net of mortgage payout, real estate commission, legal, staging budget, and the three to five items the pre-listing inspector almost always catches.
The actual purchase price you can support — Property Transfer Tax, closing costs, and overlap-month carrying costs included. At today's rates.
Address, property type, timing, contact. Two minutes. No mortgage broker handoff, no auto-listing trigger.
I pull your real comps personally — same catchment, same layout class, last 90 days. Then I drive by your block and price-test the range against current active inventory.
A 15-minute call (in person, video, or phone — your choice) plus a one-page PDF with all three numbers and the assumptions behind them. The sheet that ends up on the fridge.
A starting-point calculation so you can stop arguing about the down-payment number at the kitchen table. The Equity Map (above) replaces these rough numbers with comp-backed ones — but if you want a same-screen estimate first, here's the ballpark.
Rough numbers are fine. Calculation assumes 5% all-in selling cost (commission, legal, staging) and 3% PTT/closing on the next purchase. Updates automatically.
For accurate numbers — including overlap-month carrying costs, bridge financing, and current-rate stress test — request the full Equity Map at the top of this page.
Automated value tools lag the market by 30–90 days. In a moving Coquitlam market, that's enough to mis-price by 5–8%. Every evaluation I send out is sense-checked against this week's accepted offers across the Tri-Cities — and against the move you're actually planning.
Most sellers don't make poor moves because they're careless. They make them because they started with the wrong number. Four ways that goes sideways:
You list high "to test it." Two weeks of no traffic, you reduce, buyers smell a stale listing, you reduce again. Final sale price ends up below what an accurate launch would have produced.
"Price low to create competition" only works if the launch actually generates competition. Without a real marketing plan and showing schedule, low pricing just leaves money on the table.
You assume your home is worth what your neighbour listed at and shop a $2.1M next home on that basis. Sale comes in $80K lighter, financing breaks, and the dependent transaction collapses.
PTT on a $1.8M home in BC is over $34,000. Add commission, legal, moving, and overlap-month carrying costs and the "comfortable" budget evaporates. The Equity Map prices all of these in.
"Craig sold my property in just 6 days, which is an incredible feat. After receiving one offer, he quickly reconnected with all the other realtors who had viewed the property, and before I knew it, we had multiple offers — all over asking price."Heather Fox
"We received seven offers, and Craig held firm on our priorities: no subject to sale and achieving our price. We took the home off the market over Christmas, but behind the scenes Craig continued working. When we re-listed in January, it sold in just three days to buyers he had been nurturing — at the price we wanted."Jim Turnbull
"Craig is a true professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. His approach is clear, data-driven and resulted in multiple offers for our sale."Robert Shin
Online estimates use a generic algorithm against MLS data they don't have full access to. My evaluation is built on a real comp set — homes in your specific catchment, with your specific layout class, that actually sold (not just listed) in the last 60–90 days. I also account for your mortgage payout, commission, legal, staging and pre-listing inspector items so the number you see is your true net equity, not a list price.
Submit the form before 4pm Pacific on a business day, you'll have a personal call or video call with me before end of day. The full one-page Equity Map document follows within 24 hours.
No. Most of the families I do this for are 6–18 months out from a move. Knowing your real numbers early is the point — that's how you avoid making decisions on assumptions.
Yes. There's no fee, no obligation, and you don't sign anything to receive it. If you decide to list later, that's a separate conversation.
Address, property type, rough timing, and the best way to reach you. If you want a more accurate move-up ceiling, your approximate mortgage balance helps — but it's optional.
That's fine, and you should still know your number. Equity is one of the largest pieces of your household balance sheet; getting an accurate read on it once a year is good financial hygiene whether you move or not.
No spam. No auto-list. No pressure. Just the cleanest read on your equity and your move-up ceiling that you'll get this year.
