Three paths. One recommendation, built around your property.
Every Seattle property has a different answer. The development-value analysis tells us which of three paths is most likely to support your price, timing, certainty, privacy, and convenience goals — then we execute the one you choose, start to closing.
Want more detail on a specific path?
VWP gives you all the information — what your home is worth as a listing, to a builder, or after prep — then executes the path you choose, start to closing. We usually begin with the development analysis, since it's the piece most sellers never get — but it's your choice.
From a light rehab to a multi-lot plat — see the full range of what a development sale can mean for your parcel.
See the playsHow VWP brings positioning, prep, marketing, and negotiation to a public market sale that deserves the highest level of execution.
Listing strategyIf selling now isn't the right move, we'll evaluate prep ROI, market timing, and repositioning options before you commit.
Schedule a reviewA standard valuation prices the house. We also price the land.
An automated estimate values your home as-is. It can't see what your property is worth to a builder — and for a lot of Seattle parcels, that's the bigger number.
- Bed, bath, square footage, and nearby sales
- A generic neighborhood multiplier
- Blind to zoning, lot utility, and builder demand
- Values your home as a house and your land as a development site
- A licensed advisor pulls the parcel and visits in person
- Models highest-and-best-use against live builder demand
- Recommends the sales path that nets you the most
Every review runs the same five disciplines.
Site analysis
Zoning, overlays, lot dimensions, and environmental layers — what your parcel can actually support.
Infrastructure & constraints
Side sewer, stormwater, tree code, and MHA fees — the real costs that move the number.
Market read
Highest-and-best-use, off-MLS land comps, and live builder demand — what it's worth as land.
On the ground
Block permits, inbound builder interest, and condition — what an algorithm can never see.
Strategy & recommendation
A clear sales path, a qualified builder shortlist, and tax & timing flags — your best move.

A real, anonymized VWP review — the same five-discipline analysis, run on one Madrona parcel. Your numbers will be your own.
The right path starts with the right analysis.
You don't have to choose a path before we look at the property. A VWP review evaluates all three side-by-side and recommends the strongest for your goals — without locking you into any of them.
