MyHouseValue.com.au

They got back to me! My house is worth - ummm well it's not very clear. Their response gives the fascinating statistic that the average value of houses sold in my postcode last year was $920,000, and of flats the average was $614,500. How that helps me determine the value of my particular house is not clear.
I suspect that soon I will be contacted by a real estate agent who will ask to come and see my house to discuss its value. This is what other real estate agents do all the time, for free, without needing to go through this complicated process. It just seems unethical to me to make promises on the internet about "we will value your house" when all they really mean is "please invite me into your house so I can do an appraisal like any other real estate agent".
Interestingly, when you Google "ethical real estate agents Beecroft" the only genuine local agency that turns up on Page 1 is Ray White Beecroft.
