What's Your Home Worth?

How Our Free Home Value Estimate Works

Wondering what your home might be worth in today’s market? When you enter your address, our system instantly generates a free report using recent sales, market trends, and local data — and emails it straight to your inbox.

It’s a great starting point, but like any algorithm, it can miss things that truly affect your home’s value — like renovations, unique features, road access, or even demand shifts in your neighborhood. That’s where we come in. If you want to fine-tune your estimate or understand what today’s buyers are really paying, our local team is here to help.

This estimate works great whether you're in Escanaba, Gladstone, Rapid River, Bark River, or anywhere else across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

What’s Included in Your Report

• Your estimated home value range
• Recently sold homes near your address
• Local market activity and pricing trends
• Experts available if you want to chat and hone the numbers

Our Expert Team Can Help Increase The Accuracy

Big national sites use automated algorithms that can miss important local factors — like upgrades, road access, waterfront features, or even how hunting season affects demand. At State Wide, we’ve helped thousands of U.P. homeowners get real answers, not just ballpark numbers. We combine data with boots-on-the-ground knowledge to give you a clearer picture of what your home might actually sell for.

Who This Is For

Whether you’re just curious, planning to sell soon, or need to understand your home’s value for future planning — this free estimate is a smart starting point. It’s fast, secure, and backed by real people who know the U.P. market inside and out.

Serious About Selling Your Home?

With roots dating back to 1958, State Wide is the most experienced real estate team in the Upper Peninsula. We know this region — every township, trail, and turn — because we live and work here. With 12 offices across the U.P., our reach is both local and regional. We’ve paired that expertise and reach with the most advanced real estate marketing techniques in the business — from targeted social and Google ads to pro photography, video, and listing strategy that gets attention (and offers). We treat your home like it’s our own — with care, honesty, and a clear plan. That means giving you real guidance (not fluff), staying in constant communication, and building a game plan that fits your timeline, goals, and priorities. From day one to closing day, we’re in this together. 

Why Go With State Wide?

Our Promise: Deep experience. Modern approach. Outstanding results.

When it comes to selling your home, two things matter most: speed and price.  At State Wide, our listings don’t sit — they sell fast. Our listings move in about 30-40 days, while the market — and our competitors — sit at 60, 70, even 90+ days. Our listings close at 99% of asking price — better than the market average (96.0%) and even higher than other well-known brokerages in the area (97.8%). The reason? We don’t leave anything to chance. We build a pricing plan that’s sharp, strategic, and built to perform --  and combine it with teamwork, process, and experience you can only find at State Wide. It’s an unbeatable combo that wins every time.

Our Process: 6 Steps to Sold

Selling your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming — especially when you’ve got a clear plan and an experienced team behind you. Here's how we make it happen:

1. Walkthrough & Consultation

We start with teamwork, not guesswork. Before listing, our entire team walks your property together to spot selling points, figure out opportunities, and build a sharp, strategic plan. More eyes = smarter pricing, faster results.

2. Pricing Strategy

What automated valuations miss — we don’t. We don’t throw out numbers based on hope and algorithms, or worse, name a sky-high price just to win your listing. Because our full team has walked your property, we price with total clarity — factoring in upgrades, layout, land, and condition, not just square footage. Then we combine that insight with real market data to hit the sweet spot: fast sale, strong price, and zero guesswork.

3. Prep & Staging

First impressions lead to offers. We’ll walk through simple ways to maximize appeal — from cleaning and decluttering to furniture layout and curb appeal. Whether it’s full staging or just the right tweaks, our advice focuses on what moves the needle. 

4. Photos & Listing

Digital curb appeal is our secret weapon. Before a buyer schedules a tour, they scroll — and your listing has to stop them in their tracks. We use professional photography, image enhancement, virtual tours, drone footage, and compelling listing copy to make your home shine online. Listings with high-quality photography sell 32% faster and for $3,000–$11,000 more on average. Great listing copy drives emotional connection, leading to stronger offers and quicker contracts. 

5. Marketing Launch

This isn’t just a listing — it’s a launch. Big exposure. Smart targeting. Fast traction. The moment your listing goes live, we hit the ground running with a campaign no other agency in the U.P. can match:

• Instant exposure on Zillow, Realtor.com, and all national sites
• Exposure to 1,500 buyers every week on statewidemi.com
• Social media network touching 5,000+ active followers
• Facebook & Google ads reaching 30,000+ potential buyers
• Local radio promotion on RRN morning talk shows
• Direct outreach to dozens of hot buyers in our team pipeline

6. Showings, Offers, & Closing

Strong negotiation. Smooth closing. Serious results. When offers come in, our experience makes the biggest difference. We analyze every term, create leverage, and protect your price. That’s how our sellers consistently close at 99% of asking price — outperforming both the market and competitors. From offer to close, we coordinate everything behind the scenes so you stay informed, but never overwhelmed.
