 COMPARATIVE
MARKET ANALYSIS
|
| The best way to determine
what you could reasonably sell your home for is to obtain a
Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. With a CMA, your home is
compared to other "For Sale" properties in your area
as well as other comparable "Solds." The price is
determined adjusting for such factors as condition, location,
features, market condition, and competition. The CMA indicates
a price range where your home could be listed and sold, as well
as indicating how much time it might take to sell it.
When you decide to sell your home find out what the realtor
plans to do to get it sold.

LOTS OF SPACE

buyers from thinking positively-keep them out of the
way, if possible. |
