What you receive
Karen prepares every valuation by hand. No algorithm, no automated estimate. Within two business days, you receive:
- A defensible price range. Grounded in current comparable sales in your specific community, with each comparable annotated for relevance.
- A pricing strategy recommendation. Where in the range to position the listing, given current market temperature, the season, and your timeline.
- A net-proceeds estimate. What is likely to remain after commission, transfer tax, title charges, and a reserve for negotiated repair credits.
- A clear-eyed read on the market. Days on market trends, current absorption, and what to expect from buyer activity over the next ninety days.
- Recommended next steps, only if you want them. If the timing is not right, the analysis stands on its own.
Why a CMA prepared personally matters
Algorithmic estimates (including the most popular consumer-facing tools) rely on broad regional data and miss the details that determine real-world price. Karen's analysis is built from the MLS data professionals see, her direct knowledge of your community's micro-market, and a careful read of the condition and presentation of your particular home. As a designated Pricing Strategy Advisor (P.S.A.), this is the discipline she trained for.
