Why Comparable Sales Matter More Than Appraisal Promises (Tomadakis’ Vendor Education)

September 21, 2026

Michael Tomadakis believes comparable recent sales are the true north when selling property. He cautions sellers never to choose an agent based on the most flattering price quote. His process involves supplying full, transparent lists of sold properties nearby (with clear images and contract details). He weighs each comparable on relevance: same street, similar lot size, style, upgrades, age, and even micro-location factors like noise or orientation. Michael’s education campaigns for vendors are honest about market conditions; if several comparable properties recently sold for less than your expectations, the market is telling you something important. Michael’s service includes providing unedited feedback from serious buyers and evidence-led reasoning for price guidance. He advocates against over-promising on price: in his view, it only leads to disappointment and underwhelming campaign results. Recent sales act as guardrails for price setting, negotiation, and even settlement risk. This transparency has earned Michael vendor trust.
