What is a CMA? Simply put, a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA, is a report used to determine the fair market value of a home. Based on local market data, a CMA takes into account recent and pending sales as well as current listings. From this information, we can establish an appropriate listing price for your house. This price may need to be adjusted as the market changes to ensure that your house remains competitively priced. The fair market value of a home is determined by the dollar amount a knowledgeable buyer and seller would agree on within a reasonable amount of time (usually within 90 days). The fair market value is only an estimate. It also takes into consideration such things as location and home condition. Price adjustments are based on fluctuations in the market, interest, and motivation. This CMA report includes information on current local listings and other recently sold (or pending sales) in your neighborhood. Although no house is exactly like yours, these are the most similar properties and are often the ones that appraisers use to determine home values. Also factored in are things such as: square footage, location, amenities, property condition, and existing financing. All included data has come from the most reliable sources: local real estate firms, title companies, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Why you need a real estate professional Selling a home requires a great deal of information and resources, especially if you want to get top dollar. Hiring a real estate professional helps the entire process go smoothly and provides you with the most valuable resource you can have. As such, here are key areas where a real estate professional earns their commission:

Pricing When pricing your home, it is extremely important that the price not be set too high or low. Undervaluing or overpricing can slow down or impede the sale of a home. Real estate professionals have access to neighborhood information and pricing trends and they are experienced in the home selling process.

Marketing When you first list your home for sale, your agent has the skill and experience to recommend repairs and cosmetic work that will help enhance your home's appearance and marketability. Next, your agent will advertise your property. Most buyers go to the Internet first when searching for a home so that will be a big focus. A real estate professional will also provide exposure to other industry professionals and the public. It has been shown that many home sales come about as a result of previous relations with a client and client referrals. It is important that there is not an overexposure, too. This may cause buyers to see the property as distressed or to assume that the seller is desperate.

Security When selling your house, your agent will ensure that home showings are supervised. Buyers must go through your agent to schedule a showing, thus being prescreened. This gives you time to prepare your house and gives you a peace of mind knowing that buyers are chaperoned in your home.

Negotiations Your real estate agent acts as an objective middle-person. They are perceived as unbiased professionals, and buyers often feel more comfortable negotiating with them. Your agent will help with your initial agreement by writing a legally binding contract to have both parties sign. Then, they guide you through the processes of appraisals, financing and home inspections - all necessary to complete the sale of a home.

Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing/Settling There are many steps involved between a sales agreement and the closing or settlement of a sale. An agent has many industry contacts who can be used every step of the way. Your agent will help you navigate through the steps and complete required paperwork. They ensure that as issues arise, problems get resolved and the intimidating amounts of paperwork get completed accurately.

Intelligent Pricing and Timing Competitive pricing attracts more prospective buyers.

Based on the price pyramid, it is clear that more prospective buyers are brought in when a house is listed at a fair market value than if it is listed at a higher than market value. Additionally, even more buyers are brought in when a home is priced below market value.

It is imperative to price a home right from the beginning. Interest in a particular home peaks when it is first listed. This is when the greatest number of real estate agents and prospective buyers come to see a home. Therefore, the highest chance to sell a home at a fair market value is when it first goes on the market.

First Impressions are Lasting Exterior • Curb appeal is important! Most buyers make a decision about a house at first sight. Buyers will respond best if your home has been meticulously maintained. • Landscaping: Be sure lawn is mowed, edged, watered. Prune trees and weed flower beds. • Driveway: Keep garage closed and driveway free of cars and debris. • Roof: Repair/replace damaged/loose shingles. • Walkways/Steps/Walls: Keep them clean; minimize cracks and crumbling; keep them clear of obstructions including toys, snow, etc. • Windows: Check appearance of window coverings from the curb. • Paint/Caulking: Repair peeling paint and loose caulking. • Insects/Rodents: Take steps to eliminate. • Waste: Pick up any pet waste. Check home appearance from curb - make sure things look clean and clear.

Front Entrance • • • •

As the agent unlocks the home, buyers have extra time to notice small details. Eliminate any cobwebs or dirt around doorway entrance, windows, and porch lights. Depending on weather, consider putting flowering plants in the entryway. Apply a fresh coat of paint to door and frame.

Interior • • • • • •

Curbside decisions are reaffirmed once the buyer sees the interior of a home. Consider hiring a cleaning service to give the home a thorough cleaning and remove all clutter. Crowded rooms can be made to look more spacious by putting excess furniture in storage. Kitchen counters should be clear. Consider what a professional decorator would do. Closets and cupboards will be opened! Keep closets, cupboards, even attics neat and orderly. Repaint/clean walls windows and floor coverings as necessary with light, neutral shades. Bright rooms look bigger and neutral colors allow buyers to envision their belongings in a home. • Repair cracked windowpanes, dripping faucets and burned-out light bulbs. • Inspect plaster, walls/wallpaper, and tiles. Repair cracks, holes or other damage as needed.

Warm and Welcoming • Make your home inviting so buyers feel welcome. • Fresh baked cookies in the kitchen and subtle scents of potpourri in bedrooms and baths make your home more inviting and warm. • Consider placing an attractive set of towels in each bathroom that are only brought out for showings.

Moving Checklist Several weeks before the move: • • • • • • • • • •

Clean out and sell/donate/discard items that you do not need or do not wish to move. Request quotes from a few different moving companies. Contact insurance companies to change address for coverage. Contact Utility Companies to shut off existing service and to request service in your new home. Medical/Dental: Have prescriptions on hand or transferred to new doctors; Get referrals for medical professionals in your new area; have copies of birth certificates, medical records, etc. Arrange moving your pet(s) if necessary. Obtain packing materials and begin packing. Change your address with the post office, credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, friends and family, etc. Cancel services such as newspaper delivery, lawn service, pest control, etc. Use up perishable foods.

Moving Day • Have payment on hand for the movers. • Have cash/travelers checks on hand to cover expenses until you can get to a bank at your new destination. • Hand carry valuables and important documents yourself. • Once your house is empty - go through and double check closets, cabinets, etc to make sure you did not leave anything behind. • Have plans for pets and small children while the moving truck is being loaded. • Give the house a final clean up. • Leave your new contact information with the new residents so they can forward any mail that slips through the cracks. • Leave house keys with your real estate agent.

At your new address: • If you are moving to a new state, register your car within 5 days to avoid penalties; apply for a new driver's license. • Register children for school. • Find new doctors, dentists, etc. • Register to vote. • Begin unpacking. Take photos of any damaged items and save packing materials that involved broken items to help support claims filed with the moving company. • Relax and enjoy your new home!

The Value of Your Home The value of a home is based on much more than just the house itself. There are many factors that need to be considered to determine that value:

Location • Location is often the number one factor that determines the home value.

Price • It is crucial to set a realistic price from the beginning. The price will affect how long a home stays on the market. This CMA will help establish an appropriate price point. The asking price may need to be adjusted once the house has been on the market for a time.

Competition • Buyers will compare the price of your home to similar properties available in the area as well as those that have recently sold.

Condition • First impressions are important. Buying a home is both emotional and subjective, therefore, make sure that your home looks good both inside and out.

Current Market • The real estate market is in a constant state of flux. It cannot be manipulated and is difficult to forecast. • Conditions such as foreclosures and short sales significantly impact home values. • Marketing plans must be flexible.
