If you want an accurate valuation hire a licensed property appraiser. I rank the three main sources as follows, with Zillow a distant third.

1. Licensed property appraiser
2. Licensed Realtor
3. Zillow zestimate
Personally, I would not pay money just to get a professional appraisal. An experienced realtor should be able to tell you the market value for free.
