“I have known Dana and Alan for almost 10 years.
They worked tirelessly to help my daughter and her family purchase their first home.

They are people of integrity and I would refer them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home!”
Dana & Alan Burk create a custom estimate using recent comparable sales, local market trends and specific details about your home. The estimate includes your home’s condition, upgrades and location within the neighborhood. It’s not a generic algorithm. You’ll get a value range based on what buyers are actually paying in communities like Salem, Keizer, Dallas, Turner, Stayton, Aumsville, Sublimity, Silverton, Jefferson, Albany, Monmouth, Independence and more.
Sites like Zillow use broad data models that often miss critical details like remodels, views, lot size and neighborhood dynamics. Dana & Alan provide a personalized review using local knowledge of the Salem market and 23+ years of experience working directly with buyers and sellers in the area. That means your report reflects your home’s real value, not just a formula.
You’ll receive:
A detailed home value estimate
Recent comparable sales nearby
Neighborhood trends and buyer demand
Professional insights from Dana & Alan tailored to your goals
The report also includes optional next-step recommendations, whether you’re ready to list or just want to plan ahead.
Absolutely. Many homeowners in Salem ask for a valuation simply to stay informed. Whether you’re considering selling in the next few months or just want to understand your equity, Dana & Alan are happy to help.
Most home value estimate reports are delivered within 24–48 hours. Because Dana & Alan personally review every submission, you’ll receive a tailored, data-backed valuation instead of an automated reply. If additional info is needed (like recent upgrades), you’ll be contacted directly to ensure accuracy.
Dana & Alan work with clients across the surrounding region. Popular areas served include Salem, Keizer, Dallas, Turner, Stayton, Aumsville, Sublimity, Silverton, Jefferson, Albany, Monmouth, Independence and more.

Yes. Market conditions shift quickly, and an appraisal or refinance from even a few months ago may no longer reflect today’s pricing. A fresh, local estimate gives you updated insight into your home’s current market value. This is especially helpful if you’re considering selling soon or just want a second opinion.
That’s completely up to you. If you’re ready to take action, Dana & Alan can outline a custom selling strategy based on your goals and timeline. If you’re not ready, no problem. You’ll walk away with valuable insights and zero pressure to move forward until the time is right.
No pressure, just a clear picture of your home’s value.
