What Made Her Different
A standard CMA from a REALTOR is a useful tool — but it's an opinion, not a certified valuation. Jean Hunt brought both: the REALTOR's market intuition and the certified appraiser's objective precision.
That combination gave clients the full picture — not just what someone hoped their home would sell for, but what the evidence said it was worth.

Understanding Appraisal
A certified appraisal is a formal, documented opinion of a property's market value — prepared by a licensed appraiser, following standardized methodology, and meeting the requirements of lenders, courts, and government agencies.
Unlike a CMA, an appraisal carries the weight of state licensure and professional liability.
"Knowing the difference between what you hope your home is worth and what it's actually worth — that's where the dual credential made all the difference."
