A Comparitive Market Analysis - An Excellent Place to Begin
"Isn't this something I can do on my own?"
In today's Internet-driven world, where information frees flowly and quickly, it's tempting for a home seller to think, "I don't need to contact an agent to find out what my home's worth. I'll just look online and compare it to others. That's all the agent would do anyway."
Yes, we look online to build the case for comparitive market analyses (along with visiting the properties we're evaluating), but licensed real estate agents have access to tools most people do not.
If you are at all familiar with the property-selling process then you know about each locality's Multiple Listing Service - the online pot, so to speak, into which the vast majority of local property listings go.
Yes, the public can search the Multiple Listing Service - but an unlicensed person will not access to the full range of information about listed properties such as the property's history (Was it on the market two years ago? What did it sell for back then?); nor will an unlicensed person have fast access to local status such as the number of properties listed in a town in a price range; the average days property in a particular price range in a town stays on the market; and other helpful data.
A licensed agent such as myself is trained to complete thorough Comparitive Market Analysis as efficiently as possible - saving you countless hours scouring the internet. I offer Comparitive Market Analyses entirely free - if in the end you decide not to list your property or to list with someone else, you owe me nothing. What's in it for me? I get to preview properties before they hit the market, increasing my credibility with potential buyers via my behind-the-scenes knowledge of local properties, and I continue to have a full grasp of the local real estate picture.
If you would like me to prepare a Comparitive Market Analysis for your property, please just fill out the information in the form below. If you are not quite sure and would simply like to monitor the local real estate market for awhile, sign up for automatic email updates to receive email notifications when properties meeting your specifications hit the market. Again, all obligation free!
