Century 21 Masters Realty is a multifaceted business that operates with you, the customer, at the forefront of our day-to-day operations. We are well known and respected in the community and our philosophies are based on both honesty and integrity. As a client centered business, you will receive personal service and be backed by a reputable company.
\nOur company is dedicated to maintaining a professional, trustworthy relationship with our clients. One way this can be seen is through this Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which you hold in your hand. This CMA compiles the most current and accurate information relevant to the sale of your home. Seeing that this is perhaps your most valuable asset, it is imperative that you be equipped with the most complete information possible related to the pricing and marketing of your home.
\nThe CMA is a side-by-side comparison of homes for sale and homes that have recently sold in the same neighborhood and price range. This information is further sorted by data such as type of home, number of bedrooms, number of baths, lot size, neighborhood, property condition and features, and many other factors. The purpose is to show estimated market value, based on what other buyers and sellers have determined through past sales, pending sales and homes recently put on the market.
\nCMAs are generated by using property information from your real estate agent's multiple listing service (MLS). The MLS is available to licensed members only, including brokers, salespeople, and appraisers, who pay dues to gain access to the service's public and proprietary data, including tax roll information, sold transactions, and listings input by all cooperating MLS members. Listing agents generate CMAs for their sellers, and buyer's agents create them for their buyers so both sides know what current market conditions are for the homes they're interested in comparing.
\nThe CMA is a here-and-now snapshot of the market, based on the most recent data available, but it can instantly be rendered obsolete by a new listing, or a change of status in a home with the same criteria. Why? The market is constantly changing - new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, and expired listings.
\nCMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and skill of the person creating the CMA as well as the number and type of data fields that are chosen. That means some features may not be included.
\nAs informative as the CMA is, it should only be used as a tool and should not substitute for your real estate professional's knowledge and advice.
\nPricing a home for sale is as much art as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.
\nFair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area.
\n\tSellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.
\n\tOverpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.
\nYour best chance of selling your home is in the first two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.
\n\tWith a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Service, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest flurry of attention and interest in the first two weeks.
\n\tIf you don't get many showings or offers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.
\n\tConsult with your agent and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.
\n\tThe market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.
\n\tIntelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value.
\nHere's a list of a few of my happy customers!
\n____________
\nThank you Eileen For being such a wonderful agent and friend. I appreciate everything! (San Luis Obispo Customer)

\nEileen, We want you to know how much we appreciate everything you have done to help find our home. I so appreciate you as a friend and real estate agent. You're an awsome person and I'm so happy. Thank you so much. (Nipomo Customer)
\n__________
\nThank you Eileen, it was also our pleasure working with you as you made the selling of the property a comfortable and smooth transaction. It was actually quite a surprise, to me, that the property sold as quickly as it had. Prior sales in that area would have indicated a longer sale period. We wish you all the best in your business. (Arroyo Grande Customer)

\nTo begin that process we need to complete the listing agreement paperwork. This will let me start the process of marketing and selling your home, but it also serves to protect you and your assets. Here's an overview of the information I will need to begin the process of selling your home. I'm going to start off with the top 5 pieces of information we capture in the listing agreement.
\n\nHere is some other important information we will also capture in the listing agreement.
\n\nThere may be other information that is tied to state or local regulations but I will make sure to go over these while we are completing the paperwork.

\nIn order to inform you about the current happenings in today's market, I have prepared this comparative market analysis (CMA) especially for you. There are many properties on the market today, and each has different amenities, sizes, and values. By reviewing this CMA, you will have the information needed to price your home in the appropriate range in today's market.
\nHome buyers always do a lot of comparison shopping. In today's market it is especially important to price your home right from the beginning and to get it \"show ready\". There are many homes available in all price ranges, but the homes that are priced right and show well are the ones that bring in qualified buyers.
\nPart of this package includes a detailed copy of my personal marketing plan. We will certainly go over this in detail so that you feel comfortable to entrust your home sale to me. I am sure that once you review the plan, you will feel very satisfied with me marketing your home.
\nMy goal is to help you sell your home quickly and at a fair market value. I look forward to working with you on the sale of your home.
\n\n
Sincerely,
\nEileen Ellison
