CMA

What Is a CMA, and what are the shortcomings?

A CMA, or Comparable Market Analysis is the standard evaluation method taught in Real Estate School on the 1st day! It's a very basic tool used by most Realtors to estimate property values. It offers a guestimate at best, a simple snapshot of the market. The lack of detailed pricing analysis can often lead to properties being seriously over or under priced. When this happens either the property will sell for less than it's worth, or it may take many months to sell, if it sells at all. Either way, the seller suffers.

Is there a better way?

Absolutely, though it takes a lot more work to complete. I call the system I've developed the Average True Value pricing model. When correctly and properly assembled and analyzed, Average True Value is a powerful tool that helps establish the accurate market value of your property.

This proprietary system offers a four pillar approach to pricing. I assemble price and sales data from four different and separate locations, creating a pricing framework that is reliable, factual, and achievable. As a result, virtually none of my listings expire without selling, and my sales price to list price ratio is one of the highest in the industry.

How Do You Benefit?

Firstly, you have objective, independent data to help you correctly price your home to sell. You won't have to rely on 'expert' advice from family or friends. Secondly, other Realtors who are working with buyers, trust my listings to reflect accurate market values, and won't hesitate to show your home. Thirdly, when you receive an offer to purchase from a qualified buyer, we'll have irrefutable data to support the asking price. This will help you negotiate a better sale price.

My Average True Value pricing model will help you select the right market price.
