The Lappdog Estimate

Know what your home is worth, with data from a real appraiser.

Not a robot's guess, and not a full appraisal. A California certified appraiser reviews recent nearby sales and the details you share, then sends you a clear, friendly value report.

*Available for residential properties in California only. Coming soon nationwide.

Real estate's best friend, not another algorithm.

Questions

The short answers.

Who actually does my estimate?

Ben of Ben's Appraisal, a California certified appraiser. A real person reviews your home and the recent nearby sales.

How is this different from Zillow?

Online estimates come from an algorithm that can't see inside your home. We ask about condition and upgrades, then a real appraiser picks the sales that really compare.

Can I use it for a loan, taxes, or court?

No. It's an informal estimate, not an appraisal. If you need one of those, the $49 can be credited toward an appraisal from Ben's Appraisal.

Where is this available?

Right now, Lappdog Estimates are available for residential properties in California only. We're coming soon nationwide.

Do I have to own the home?

No. Buyers, sellers, and the just-curious all use it.
