Most online estimators give you one number — a guess at what your house might sell for, ignoring every cost between sold-sign and bank deposit. The Equity Map gives you three: 1. **Net sale value.** The realistic list price for your specific Port Coquitlam address, set against current PoCo comparables (not a national algorithm). 2. **True available equity.** Net sale value minus mortgage payout, commission, legal, PTT, prep, and any payout penalty. The number that actually lands in your account. 3. **Realistic next-home ceiling.** What that equity, plus your current borrowing capacity, lets you buy in your target market — Burke Mountain, Heritage Mountain, Coquitlam, somewhere else. If you’re a move-up buyer, the third number is the one that actually shapes your decision — and the one most evaluations don’t deliver. Three steps, one business day ## How the evaluation actually works. 1. **Submit the form above.** Address, name, email, phone (optional). Takes 60 seconds. 2. **Craig does the work.** Pulls every Port Coquitlam comparable sale within 800m, last 3–6 months. Walks the active competition. Calculates your true equity and your next-home ceiling against your target neighbourhood. 3. **You receive the Equity Map.** One PDF page, by email, within one business day. Optional 20-minute follow-up Strategy Call to walk through it if you want. No obligation either way.

One business day. Craig personally pulls every comparable Port Coquitlam sale within 800m of your address, walks the active competition, and sends a one-page Equity Map with net sale value, available equity after mortgage payout and selling costs, and your realistic next-home ceiling — typically within 24 hours of your submission. ### Is the evaluation really free? Yes. No charge, no obligation, no auto-list. Craig delivers the Equity Map because it’s how he earns the listing when you’re actually ready to sell. About 60% of evaluation recipients never list; that’s fine — the evaluation is still useful for refinance, estate planning, or just knowing where you stand. ### What’s the difference between Craig’s evaluation and a Zillow estimate? Zillow / HomeWise / AVMs typically run 5–15% off actual Port Coquitlam sale prices because they can’t see suite legality, basement potential, exact catchment (Citadel vs Riverside vs Terry Fox Secondary), lane access, or corner-lot premium. Craig’s evaluation is a real estate professional opinion based on current PoCo comparable sales — the same method appraisers use, but free and turned around faster. ### Do you need to come inside my home? Not for the initial evaluation. Craig can produce a solid 24-hour read from desk research plus an exterior drive-by. For the most accurate final list-price strategy he typically asks for a short interior walk — 30–45 minutes — before you commit to the strategy. That’s scheduled only if you choose to move toward listing. ### What’s my Port Coquitlam home actually worth in June 2026? GVR® June 2026 benchmarks: detached $1,322,600 (−4.2% YoY), townhome $877,300 (−7.1% YoY), apartment $582,600 (−8.3% YoY). The benchmark is the typical home; your specific home trades above or below it based on lot, condition, suite, catchment, and pocket. The evaluation gives you the exact number for your address. ### Do I have to sell after I get the evaluation? No. There’s no listing agreement attached to the evaluation. About 6 in 10 recipients use the Equity Map to decide “not yet” and check back in 12–18 months. Craig’s view: the right list date is whenever your life situation requires it, not whenever the market is technically perfect. ### How is Craig’s home evaluation different from an appraisal? An appraisal is a paid, formal report (typically $400–$700) usually ordered by a lender for financing. Craig’s home evaluation is a free real-estate professional opinion based on recent comparable sales — the same method most sellers use to set their list price. For setting a list price, the evaluation is what you want; appraisals are required only for specific financing or legal situations. Keep exploring ## Related guides.
