Q

Defending the CMA
Comparative market analysis

A

Preparing a CMA is to determine the value of your home according to buyers. Buyers and their agents determined that value by comparing your home to recent sales in the area and other homes currently on the market. Buyers won’t pay more for a home then the market dictates. My goal is to get you the best price possible given the current market conditions. If we price it right, it will sell. If we priced too high, we will miss our market. The buyers will move elsewhere.
