Charlie Johnson shares exactly how to pull the right comparable sales—so you don’t overpay (or under-appraise).

– Keep it close: Within half a mile for urban, up to a mile for rural

– Keep it current: Last 6 months only—older comps can undervalue

– Match features: Square footage, beds/baths, lot size, condition

📌 Buyers: Always review the appraisal report to see which comps were used.

📌 Mortgage pros: Double-check with MLS to validate accuracy.

Run your numbers right—your deal depends on it.
