How much is my home worth?
When a homeowner is ready to sell or thinking about selling their home, one of the first things to determine is, “What’s my home worth?” A licensed real-estate professional will determine your home’s value by assessing a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA on your property. The recent selling price of comparable homes in your area is one of the primary indicators for the value of your home. You may have an idea of what sellers in your neighborhood are asking for their homes, but do you know what comparable homes have sold for?
To complete a CMA, our agents will begin by gathering information about your property, then examining recent sales of comparable properties in and around your neighborhood, and finally by assessing the condition and features of your property in person. You can expect a very accurate and honest price from our experienced agents.

The Benefits of Using a Professional REALTOR®
You’ll experience a wide variety of benefits when you hire a real estate professional. Successfully selling a property is a complicated exercise, and REALTORS® have the experience, resources and contacts to complete your sale quickly and smoothly.
Pricing
A REALTOR® will help you determine the selling price of your property at a level that accurately reflects its value in current market conditions and will not cost you missed opportunities.
Marketing
A REALTOR® will have many useful suggestions on ways to improve the marketability of your property, including cosmetic repairs and other items that will create a favorable impression among buyers.
Your property will enjoy a wider exposure among buyers when you use a REALTOR®. In addition to using flyers and organizing open house days, a REALTOR®’s extensive contact list of former clients, newly qualified buyers and other industry professionals can significantly reduce the time your property is on the market. A REALTOR® will also allow you to tap into a highly productive and extensive industry network, such as a Multiple Listing Service or other industry marketing system.
Advertising your property efficiently is another area where a REALTOR® can play an important role. A REALTOR®’s experience in deciding on the most appropriate type and frequency of advertising for your property can be invaluable. For example, placing too many ads can create the impression that there may be something wrong with the property or that the seller is desperate.
Security
Security is a major consideration when showing your home. By using a REALTOR®, you can rest assured that all showings will be pre-screened and supervised.
Negotiating
When negotiating a purchase, most buyers prefer to deal with a middleperson who is objective, unemotional and professional. Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a
REALTOR® than with the owner when they want to raise issues that need resolving before making an offer.
Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing or Settling
A REALTOR® will guide you through the minefield of potential problems associated with the appraisal, inspection and financing process, including the often complicated
escrow instructions. In addition, your agent can meet and instruct any specialists or
tradespeople who may be required for repairs
