The Comparative Market Analysis. What is It Really?
 

All Realtors are not created equal. Thirty-five years doing this and people still trust us. 

A "Listing Presentation" is an industry term for the dog and pony show that a Realtor makes to prospective home sellers, trying to earn their trust and business. It is a good way for you to get to know whom you are dealing with. Sam and I take a bit of a different approach. Sure we can schmoose with the best of them -- we just think that cutting to the chase by letting you know exactly what you need to sell your unique property at the particular time that you call is the most honest approach. We will be gentle, and we can be entertaining at times, but the market can change overnight and to give you a canned presentation often is just not appropriate. 

Assuming that you got through the above paragraph without getting all huffy, and you do decide to call here is what we do on a listing appointment. 

When we arrive at your home we will have already done a ?no peek market analysis.? This is a market evaluation based on tax records only. This may seem kind of dumb but we do it so that we can get a raw data comparison. It helps us to be objective, because we are human and if we really like you, it could influence the value we place on your home. (Not professional! You might as well have Uncle Dilbert price your home.) We will then do a walk-thru of your home and make suggestions to help make it show better, little tricks that Realtors use to make it look like Better Homes and Gardens just left. Then we will show you a whole bunch of properties, sold, unsold, and never gonna sell. You will become an active participant in the pricing of your home. 

You see, we give you credit for being smarter than most Realtors do. We believe that pricing your home is not the most difficult part of our job. It takes experience and we?ll give you the benefit of ours, but the reality remains that the buyer sets the price. 

This is the nuts and bolts of the CMA (comparative market analysis) the more information you have the better decision you can make and we?ll give you lots. 

Call us for an appointment or fill out the form and we will get back to you at your convenience.

Real Estate Tips
Financing Your Home >Owner Financing

If you are selling a house in which you have a lot of equity, and you don't need that equity to buy a new home, an owner-financing agreement may benefit you and your buyers.

Seller financing arrangements usually involve the buyers securing the largest portion of their purchase money from a mortgage company and getting a smaller second loan from the sellers. For example, they may finance 75% from a lender, put in 15% from savings, and ask the sellers to finance the remaining amount. The terms and interest rates on seller carry-backs are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Sellers may be able to negotiate a note that provides a better return on their money than 1-to-5 year CD's or treasury notes. They should ensure that the note protects them to the fullest. Use common sense when considering such a loan, and verify the buyers' income, credit history, and job stability before making your final decision.
