Meet Lori Patenaude
REALTOR® · RE/MAX Direct · DRE# 123456
Whether you're a first-time buyer, moving up, or simply curious about what your equity looks like today — every property is different, and every owner has a different story. That's why generic online estimators fall short. They don't know your kitchen was remodeled in 2022, or that your view backs up to open space.
For the past 10 years, I've been helping homeowners across Ramona and San Diego County understand what their property is genuinely worth — not what an algorithm guesses. My approach is straightforward: I do the homework, deliver the data, and let you decide what to do next. No pressure. No bait-and-switch.
Personally prepared by Lori within 24 hours.

Curious what you'd actually walk away with?
Sale price is one thing. Net proceeds — what lands in your account after the mortgage payoff, closing costs, and commissions — is what really matters. Run your scenario below.
What homeowners say after working with Lori.
Real reviews from real Ramona and San Diego County homeowners.
"We weren't planning to sell — just curious what our equity looked like after the kitchen remodel. Lori sent over a thorough report with comps and never once tried to push us into listing. A year later when we finally were ready, she was the only call we made."
"Three online estimators gave me three wildly different numbers — Zillow said $720K, Redfin said $805K. Lori's valuation came in at $782K and she sold the house for $789K six months later. The accuracy was honestly shocking compared to the apps."
"My mom passed and I needed a value for the estate. Lori walked me through it with so much patience — explained the comps, the market, what to expect if we sold versus held. She made a stressful situation manageable. Genuinely kind professional."

Questions homeowners ask before requesting a valuation.
Is this really free? What's the catch?
There's no catch. Preparing valuations is part of how I serve my community — some homeowners go on to list, most don't, and both are fine. You won't be added to a high-pressure call list. If you want to chat further, I'm here. If not, the report is yours to keep.
How is this different from Zillow or Redfin estimates?
Online estimators pull from public tax records and broad regional data. They don't know your home was updated, that the lot next door sold above asking, or that the neighborhood school just got an A rating. A human valuation accounts for all of those nuances — which is why the numbers often differ by tens of thousands of dollars.
How long does it take to get my valuation?
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours of receiving your request. Complex properties or unique locations may take a little longer — Lori would rather take an extra day and give you accurate information than rush a number you can't rely on.
Do I have to sell my home after requesting a valuation?
Absolutely not. Homeowners request valuations for many reasons — refinance planning, estate purposes, divorce, tax assessment appeals, or just plain curiosity. There is zero expectation that you'll list. The report is a free service.
What information do you need from me?
Your address, contact info, and a few quick notes about your home — bedrooms, bathrooms, recent upgrades, and anything special about the property. The more context you provide, the more precise the valuation will be. The whole form takes less than a minute.
Will my information be shared with anyone?
No. Your information is used solely by Lori to prepare your valuation. It's never sold, never shared with third parties, and never added to any external marketing lists. Confidentiality is foundational.
Find out what your home is worth today.
Most homeowners are surprised — sometimes pleasantly, sometimes not — but they all walk away with a clearer picture of their largest financial asset. Yours is waiting.

A look at what neighbors across Ramona and the surrounding area had to say after working with Lori.
"We weren't even sure we wanted to sell — just curious what our place was worth after the kitchen remodel. Lori's valuation came in $62k above Zillow's estimate, and she explained exactly why. Six months later when we did list, we sold for $8k over her projection. She knew her stuff."
"After my husband passed, I needed to know what the house was worth for the estate — I wasn't ready to sell, just figure things out. Lori was incredibly patient, walked me through everything, and never once made me feel rushed. A year later when I was ready, she was the only person I called."
"We requested the valuation thinking we'd refinance. Turns out we had way more equity than we thought, and Lori helped us think through whether selling and downsizing actually made more sense for us. We ended up doing exactly that — and netted $94k more than we expected. No pressure, just honesty."
