A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a comparison of the sale prices of similar properties (e.g., size, style, location, amenities) in a given area, for the purpose of determining the fair market value of a property.

We use comparable’s or properties that are similar in size, style, location and amenities to the property under consideration in an appraisal, which are used in the appraisal process to help determine the approximate fair market value of the subject property….Your home

Assessments are a tax, charge, or levy against a property made by the government, based on its value, and levied for a specific purpose, such as to finance sidewalks, a sewer, etc. AND MAY NOT BE ITS TRUE VALUE!

A homes current value is not determined by what it was purchased for, what the county or city assesses its value at, or what the stock market is doing. Its value is determined by what a informed home seller and home buyer agree too.

Truthfully no two CMA’s would be the same, and they just also might be very wrong, or right on the money…. they are just an opinion of an appraiser’s value. A good way to obtain a value is by calling us, for our opinion of its value, at no cost to you, or hiring an appraiser.

We can give you an idea of your home’s value by searching the MLS for similar homes that have sold in nearby neighborhoods like yours, assessing county records, and by viewing thousands of homes in the course of our career, expanding over 20 plus years.

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires real estate agents to disclose to any potential buyer or seller the various types of working relationships available between an agent and their clients. This disclosure must be done at first substantial contact when discussing real estate matters. The following link will take you to “Working with Real Estate Agents” published by the NCREC. This brochure will fully explain the various services available to you. We will review this information with you when we meet.
