Even a fresh coat of paint will greatly enhance a homes’ overall appearance and give the home a fresh clean look and feel of home to attract potential buyers.
When marketing and selling residential properties – we understand that pricing your home is the most significant factor, so we rely heavily on market data, trends and conditions as well as the sales data from the Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS) to arrive at a fair market value based on recent sales of similar properties in your particular neighborhood. Of course, we realize that the final sales price is your decision….. We will provide a comprehensive home evaluation in the form of a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on your property and research other data sources from other partners of the MRIS group. This will includes graphs to analyze such as the “Residential Stats – Analysis Report, a “Average List Price” to “Sold” data report to show the benefits of listing the property at market to obtain the best and highest offer. We also review the “List Price with DOM” (Days on the Market” report to determine if a property is considered stale or a dead horse so to speak. We are always looking for innovative ways to improve our home evaluation and comparative analysis to provide you with the most accurate and current market data and recent sales activity that will have an affect on the sale of your home.
