The best way to find out the value of your home is to talk to an ESPC agent out so they can take into account all the different factors that may affect the selling price of your home. An instant online valuation will generally be based on sold prices in the area and not necessarily take into account all the different elements that could affect the value of your property. The added benefit is that talking to an ESPC agent allows you to ask more questions about the selling process and decide whether you would like to sell your home with them.
