What Is A CMA? Why Does It Matter?

A CMA, or Comparative Market Analysis, is a vital tool in understanding the value of your property. It goes beyond a simple appraisal, considering factors such as property type, condition, and location to provide a comprehensive overview. One common mistake in the industry is comparing properties solely based on their neighborhood, overlooking critical factors like condition and style. For instance, comparing a ranch to a bi-level or a single-family home to a condo might lead to inaccurate valuations.As your listing agent, our responsibility is to defend the price of your property once you've secured an accepted contract with a responsible buyer. This is where a well-executed CMA becomes indispensable.Unlike a bank appraisal, a CMA takes into account recent closed transactions, ensuring a more accurate reflection of the current market conditions. Banks may inflate property values for loan purposes, but our role is to provide you with a realistic and defendable price.As you approach the appraisal stage, it's crucial to understand that if the appraisal value differs from the contract price, we, as your listing agent, are tasked with defending that price. Therefore, the accuracy and precision of the CMA become paramount. If you have any questions about listing or selling, or if you'd like a CMA done for your property, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. 📱 Call or text us at 502.265.4776 📧 Email us at Todd@ampedpg.com And remember, if you know anyone looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate, please don't keep us a secret – we're here to help!

Aligning Your Goals for the Coming Year

Welcome to 2023. How are you going to align yourself with the new year? I’m not talking about resolutions. I’m talking about aligning your goals. There are many ways to align yourself to achieve your goals this year. The best approach will depend on your specific goals and needs. I’ve compiled a few tips below that might help you. First, set SMART goals. This stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. They will help you stay focused and motivate you to work toward your objective. For example, one of our objectives is to help a minimum of 50 families this year, which meets the SMART criteria. Next, break your goals down into smaller and actionable steps, then create a schedule to follow. To achieve our goal, we have specific daily goals to reach out to people. We’re also going to get organized and create systems and routines to help us stay on track. After that, we’re going to seek support. Surround yourself with people who will encourage and motivate you. Consider finding a coach or mentor to help you stay accountable. Staying motivated can be hard, but you need to find ways to stay engaged as you work toward your goals. This might involve setting rewards for yourself. Also, be open to adapting your plan as needed, and don’t be afraid to make adjustments if you encounter challenges or setbacks along the way. If you know of anyone looking to align their goals this year in the real estate world, or if you have any questions, we would love the opportunity to connect. You can email, call, or text us anytime.
Take Some Time To Slow Down

This is the time of year to slow down and enjoy being with family As we approach the end of the year, slow down and enjoy some time with your family. As a real estate professional, I know that I get caught up in all the craziness of the end of the year and with planning my goals for next year. Remember to slow down and enjoy the important things this holiday season. Take time for yourself and get your sanity back. Don’t get too caught up in the hustle and bustle. One of the mottos I live by is: “If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.” That rings so true at this time of the year. Everybody’s already thinking about what they’re going to be doing in 2023. With that being said, I just want you to slow down, enjoy this season, enjoy each other, be grateful, and have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year. I look forward to seeing you and seeing what 2023 brings. Reach out to me by phone or email if you have any questions.
