Competitive Market analysis

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) involves collecting information on real estate activity in your area so you can arrive at a fair market value or listing price for your home. It is a key service your realtor provides to help you price your home competitively in the market. Most notably it would include looking at recent sales of properties similar to yours, though looking at recent expired listings and other properties offered for sale is also important to determine what price may be too high and what the competition is looking like.

Preparing a CMA is not just about collecting recent activity in your neighborhood; it requires carefully selecting comparable properties and using good judgment when comparing and interpreting the data and information.

Preparing to sell

You can do a lot to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.

The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

1. Curb Appeal.

Keeping your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard, such as

colorful annuals, will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential

buyers.

2. Property Repairs.

Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat

of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten up the property.

3. Cleanliness and Staging.

Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom.

Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned.

Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.

4. Disclosures and Inspections.

We are very familiar with the legal procedures involved in disclosures and are ready

to help you develop a thorough disclosure statement beneficial to both you and the

buyer, as well as suggest home improvement measures before placing your property on the market (such as termite and pest inspections).

5. Showtime.

Presenting your property to potential buyers is a job that we will take care of for you. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the agent, if you are not there. Moreover, your agent will know what information will be most useful in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers.
