Who these terms are between
These terms govern your use of this website and the valuation tool on it, between you and Trusted Local Realtor, 881 W Lombard St, Baltimore, MD 21201. Using the site means you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the site.
A valuation is an estimate, not an appraisal and not an offer
The number the valuation tool returns is an estimate. It is generated from property data, recent nearby sales, and the information you provide about the property, and the information you provide is not independently verified before the number is produced.
It is not a formal appraisal. A formal appraisal is prepared by a licensed appraiser who inspects the property, and it carries legal weight that an automated estimate does not. Lenders, courts, and estates require an appraisal, not this.
It is not a binding offer to purchase. No number on this site obliges us to buy anything or obliges you to sell anything. An estimate can change once the property has been inspected and title has been reviewed. How a house gets priced is explained on what your house is actually worth.
How an offer actually becomes binding
A purchase becomes binding only through a written contract signed by both parties, on terms stated in that contract. Nothing on this website, in an email, in a text message, or in a phone conversation creates a binding agreement to buy or sell real property. The process from valuation to signed contract is set out on the how it works page, and you can start it from the cash offer page.
Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice
This site publishes general information about selling property in Maryland, including material on foreclosure, probate, liens, and taxes. It is information, not advice. We are not your attorney, your accountant, or your financial adviser, and reading this site does not create any of those relationships.
Your situation may turn on details this site cannot know. Speak to a Maryland attorney or a licensed tax professional before making a decision you cannot reverse.
No guarantee of any price, timeline, or outcome
We make no guarantee of any particular sale price, net proceeds, closing date, or result. Timeframes described anywhere on this site, including references to closing in as little as 7 days, describe what is possible when title is clear and the parties are ready. They are not promises. Title problems, liens, ground rent, probate, tenants, lender payoffs, and third party delays all affect timing and are outside our control.
Statements about beating a verified written offer refer to our willingness to review a genuine competing written offer and respond to it. They do not guarantee any specific number.
What we ask of you
Give us accurate information about the property, and confirm that you have the legal authority to sell it or are acting for someone who does. Do not use this site to submit false information, to interfere with its operation, or for any unlawful purpose. Details you leave out about condition, occupancy, or amounts owed will change any number we give you.
Calls, texts, and email
If you provide a phone number and agree to be contacted, we may call or text you about your property. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to end texts. What we do with your details is set out in our privacy policy.

The text, layout, and materials on this site belong to Trusted Local Realtor unless stated otherwise. You may read and share them. You may not republish them as your own.
Where we link to outside websites, including government resources, we do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or accuracy.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of this site or reliance on any estimate it produces. This does not limit any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
Which law applies, and changes to these terms
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. We may update them, and the current version is always the one posted here. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated version.

Before you act on this
This page is general information about how these processes work in Maryland. It is not
legal, tax, or financial advice, and your situation may turn on details this page cannot
know. Talk to a Maryland attorney or a licensed tax professional before you make a decision
you cannot reverse. If you are facing foreclosure, you can also speak with a HUD approved
housing counselor at no cost.
Questions people ask
Is the valuation a formal appraisal?
No. It is an estimate built from property data, nearby sales, and what you tell us about the house, and none of that is independently verified first. A formal appraisal comes from a licensed appraiser who inspects the property, and that is what lenders, courts, and estates require.
Does getting a number commit me to selling?
No. Nothing on this site binds you or us. A purchase becomes binding only through a written contract signed by both parties. Emails, text messages, phone conversations, and numbers shown on this website do not create an agreement to buy or sell real property.
Do you guarantee I will close in 7 days?
No. Closing in as little as 7 days describes what is possible when title is clear and both sides are ready. Liens, ground rent, probate, tenants, lender payoffs, and third party delays all move the date, and none of those are within our control.
Is anything on this site legal or tax advice?
No. The pages about foreclosure, probate, liens, and taxes are general information about how those processes work in Maryland. Reading them does not make us your attorney or accountant. Speak with a Maryland attorney or a licensed tax professional before deciding anything you cannot reverse.
