ALEX · Valuation

Request a valuation

Client name

Client capacity

You can request both to see how ALEX views the property from both sides.

Property address

Pick a match and the city, state and ZIP come with it. An MLS number works here too.

Not in ABOR: this is the subject’s address too. Pick a match, or type it whole: street, city, state and ZIP (e.g. 123 Main St, Bastrop, TX 78602).

Outside-MLS valuation

For a property ABOR does not cover. For the subject and for each closed sale, attach the MLS report (the PDF the MLS prints; a sold report usually carries the photos) and the county tax record. Each file is read as it is attached and fills that property's boxes; check them, correct what is wrong, and type what the files do not show. Leave a box blank when the source does not state it: blank is sent as “not stated”, never as zero.

Files

On submit ALEX finds the folder in your Google Drive whose name starts with the street number and name (e.g. ‘907 Glade …’) and reads its Target, Comp and Tax PDFs and photos. Anything you type here overrides what the PDFs say.

File names ALEX reads in the folder

(any case; space, -, _ or . between words; files at the top or one sub-folder down):

‘Target’ or ‘Subject’: the home’s MLS report; ‘Tax Target’: its tax record
‘Comp 1’, ‘Comp 2’… (or ‘Sold N’, ‘Sale N’): the closed sales; ‘Tax 1’, ‘Tax 2’…: their tax records
‘Active 1’, ‘Active 2’… (or ‘For Sale N’, ‘Listing N’, ‘Competition N’): homes for sale now; ‘Tax Active 1’…: their tax records
Sub-folders named ‘Comps’, ‘Active’, ‘Tax’ or ‘Docs’ work too. Any other file is kept as a supporting document.

In a section whose Drive box is ticked, its manual entry is an optional fallback, only for files not in the Drive folder: the folder’s files come first; an uploaded sale is added to the folder’s comps, or corrects the one with the same board and MLS #.

Manual entry: sale cards

One closed sale is enough; three or more give a measured accuracy range. Four cards to start; “+ Add a sale” for more. Every sale is used as entered and adjusted by the same engine. Concessions and repairs: blank means the MLS did not state them, not $0.

Or several sales at once, from an MLS export

For-sale listings (competition)

Use Google Drive folder for this section

Manual entry: for-sale listings

Optional. Homes for sale now that a buyer could choose instead of this one. They are shown in the report’s Competition section; they are never priced and never used as sales. Attach each one’s MLS report and, if you have it, its tax record.

Supporting documents optional

Optional. Any other file for this request: a survey, an appraisal, HOA documents, a disclosure. PDF, JPG, PNG, XLSX, CSV or DOCX, up to 25 MB each. They are kept with the request and named in the report’s sources; their figures are not read (a home’s tax record goes in that home’s Tax record slot, where it is read).

Add files

Property corrections optional

Only where the MLS is wrong. Leave a box blank to use the MLS. A figure entered here replaces the MLS figure in the valuation, and the report prints both.

Comparable adjustments and repairs optional

Optional, for a sale you know will be in the report (your own comparables, or a rebuild). Name the sale by MLS number or street address. Each $ line is added to that sale as an Additional Agent Change; a minus sign lowers it. Repairs paid by the seller: in contract (blank keeps the MLS amount), after inspection and after appraisal; the sale’s net price follows them.
