How to get a property value?

[Tim Mitchell]

Is there an easy way to found out real quick what a property is worth besides looking up the assessors office page?? is there software others are using to figure it? or ?? While I was at a property for another business that I operate doing a insurance inspection, a daughter informed me their mom passed away last week and wanting to sell house NOW, she informed me her mom paid $40,000 4 years ago, I said, I'm an investor, she ask what I would offer, I told her $11,000, she accepted, I was blown away, I see on assessors page it's worth 78,000... NOT wanting to over pay or under pay for a property, how are others figuring what to offer? and what it's worth. Thanks
