What one needs to understand is that real estate agents do not do appraisals.
They do market assessments based on what previous sales dictate. There is a difference. If an appraisal is desired there are people who actually do appraisals. They do not do these for free. Usually well worth the money.

A comparative market analysis by a realtor is of zero value in a court case.

Courts require reports / testimony from a trained, licensed specialist, a real estate appraiser.
