When I complete an evaluation of the property for the analysis, I will compare the information

you provide to the most comparable and recent sales available, and to similar homes (properties)

on the market in your area that are in our multiple listing service (MLS) as well as some that

may not be available in MLS that I have access to through other sources, both private and

public.

This will enable me to determine an approximate value or range of value without seeing the

property. However, if you need an expert opinion and are serious about selling, I would highly

recommend, and I am always better able to give a more accurate and detailed opinion if you

will set up an appointment with me to view it with you in person, meet you personally, and,

thus, be better prepared to determine the home's (or property's) best marketing and selling

features, amenities, and that special buyer "appeal" that could affect the analysis of a

home's (or property's) real value or "optimum" value by at least 5 to 15% in many cases.

However, if you are just in the beginning stages of deciding upon a possible move,

change, purchase or sale of an existing property before deciding upon another, there

are some good resources that are "FREE" below that you are welcome to use to

help you get started.

Feel free to use this link to use Freddie Mac's Conventional Mortgage "Home Price

Index to get an estimate of Your Home's Values based on rate of Appreciation set by

FMAC for your area since its original purchase date. Also, for more information

about how real estate appreciation affects your home's value, click the Home

Appreciation link after that...click both links below:

(Note: the longer you have owned your home (property), the more likely this will be

a somewhat reliable source for you, as it is not a good indicator of new homes in

new subdivisions and developments still in the first few years and beginning of

its build-out stage.)

Home Price Index

Home Appreciation

A property's market value and appeal can be greatly impacted by many different factors

including: desirability of its location to homebuyers; desirability of floorplan to todays

homebuyers wants and needs which varies by size, price range and locale; special or

unique amenities; flexibility of floorplan; unique and beautiful natural settings with

mature trees, creeks, lush gardens, and picturesque views of lakes, hills, woods, etc;

seclusion and privacy and/or gated or guarded security features; state-of-the-art art

technology, special audio/video equipment and media, and wiring or internet accessibility;

size and location of the home's lot or homesite including corners, culdesacs, creeks and

lake front or lake view locations; other special improvements outside the home like barns,

swimming pools, fountains, koi ponds, fencing, cabanas, outside kitchens, spas and

custom hot tubs, and other water features, ponds and lakes; gazebos and built-in grills,

tennis courts, green houses, horse facilities, gardens, sports facilities like tennis courts,

golf driving range, and workshops, detached garages, porti cocheres, guest quarters

or maid quarters; also size and location of all rooms especially bedrooms and bathrooms;

the amount, type and suitability of storage, both interior and exterior, and closet space

or custom designed storage like wine cellars, cedar closets, basements, and unfinished

or even partially finished bonus rooms for future expansion; the number, uniqueness,

beauty and compatibility of special custom cabinetry or built-ins; direction the home

faces or direction of backyard to the sun and shade at different times of day; desirability

of the homes color selections including exterior paint and brick or stone choices,

paint and wallpaper on the inside of the home, and its complimentary decor features like

lighting, plumbing fixtures, flooring, wall coverings and window treatments; amount

and type of landscaping and special exterior accents including natural stone, brick,

shutters ,wood, copper and stucco; effect of natural lighting or effect of shade and

their appeal to the home's atmosphere or views; amount and functionality of

living space; homes adaptability for occupants with special needs; age, condition,

and remaining life of the homes major components such as heating, air conditioning,

roofing type, color and style, and structures such as framing and foundations;

age or year the home was built as well as age, desirability and quality of any

updates and remodeling and if these are most likely to be desirable for resale

in its market; as well as the home's proximity to schools, playgrounds and parks,

shopping, major roads, gyms, public and private country clubs, golf courses, or

other area recreational and homeowners association facilities like community pools,

tennis, parks, playgrounds, boating, volley ball courts, nearby equestrian facilities,

and more; also the proximity and affect of what is next to or near the home such as

farm animals or other animals; commercial businesses, much larger or much

smaller homes and the average market value and overall appearance of other

surrounding or adjacent homes in the area; the type of public utilities available

and costs; as well as the noise level or effect of traffic and busy roads on the home

itself or on the community as a whole; and other locational differences include:

proximity to power or utility lines or easements, water towers, land fills, airports

and low flying, flight patterns; and many other factors include the number of

homes for sale in proportion to the number of sales over a given period of time,

the season and time of the year, and the local and/or national economy are all

factors that buyers will use to determine if the home is a good match for their

needs, desires, and a good value for the real estate market at the time of the sale.

Again, this is not every thing that can affect the home or property evaluation,

but just some of the variety of things that will be considered in a comprehensive,

analysis or best evaluation of your property's market value.

This analysis is known as "Comparative Market Analysis", or CMA, but I like to refer

to it as a, "BROKERS PRICE OPINION," because a "CMA" is normally based mostly

on factual information supplied from MLS sales data like that used by Certified Real

Estate Appraisers, but does not always take into consideration the marketing, appeal,

and sales approach that most established brokers are aware of and that almost all

residential estate transactions are influenced by (with the exception of investment

property sales and possible REO sales) at least some of that "human" element of

how a property affects the homebuyers emotions, moods, and the atmosphere it

creates or those special needs it fulfills for that family or homebuyer that chooses

a particular property for their own "home" from the list of many available.

Also, a CMA does not always taken into consideration the industry "trends,"

both the major one and minor ones, that are continuouslychanging with what

buyers are wanting in a property and what item, features, etc. they put more

value or less value on in their home search and decisions. These "purchase

patterns" and both area trends and industry trends, especially in local areas,

are more easily seen and understood by knowledgable brokers that are active

on a regular, daily basis, and have a dedication to the industry as well as an

established tract record of helping buyers and sellers in today's markets and in

the past.

So, when these experienced, skilled brokers go out to give an evaluation of a property,

it is also somewhat "subjective" because they know that is the way most buyers will

critique the appeal of the property for themselves, and rate it in terms of desirability

of meeting specific needs, wants, and dreams and these "buying trends and patterns."

Thus, the best brokers that have sold many properties over a long period of years in the

industry, have this insight from their long history and tract record of many closed

property transactions behind them in as variety of areas, types of properties, etc., and

are also active, fulltime & continuing to work with and represent buyers and sellers

in today's complex market as it changes, and staying aware of the"human" factor in

giving a broker's opinion of value. This insight is very valuable in setting the value, and

used to adjust the home's value accordingly because of their understanding and working

"insight" of the market more fully than just looking at MLS sales data and averaging

some numbers to assign to all properties alike the "price per square foot" method which

is based on averages with a high and low end for the area. This method does more

harm than good, unless your property is in an area where everybody's homes all

look alike, were built by the same builder on "cookie cutter" lots and have many

similarities but very few differences. There are areas where that describes

most of the homes. But, if your neighborhood is not like that, especially in

areas that are mostly "custom" homes with a lot of variety, be cautious of the

broker or agent that just gives you a "price per foot," type of estimate to

determine your homes value, because it normally means that they have not

developed their skills yet, are not knowledable about either the type of home

or the area, and/or have limited experience and tract record of closed sales in

the price range, area, or type of home being evaluated.

Also, please keep in mind that this "opinion of value" will be affected by how familiar,

knowledgable and experienced the broker or agent is that is conducting the analysis, and

if that party has a vast understanding of the market evaluation process, has also developed

an expert understanding of what today's home buyers are seeking, and knows how to market

your home to that right "group of buyers," etc. by targeting the marketing and advertising

to attract and appeal to the type of individuals that will want what the homes offers and

to how its best features and amenities fit into the desirability of the buying trends and

buying patterns for your area.

This is, of course, why it is exceptionally important to work with a broker or agent that

has an established tract record, and is not learning the business or guessing with the help

of the Multiple Listing Services many new program features...because it is possible for

any MLS agent to generate a "CMA" just by using the computer techniques even if

that agent has little or no experience, but that computer generated "CMA" will not take

into consideration the uniqueness of each property ; it basically just gives an "average"

of a group of homes in an area, and this method alone will most likely overprice

some homes and underprice others. Thus, the overpriced homes will stay on the

market too long, and the underpriced homes will not be getting a good return on

their investment and sell at their optimum value for the market.

Thus, unless the broker or agent has successfully sold and closed a good number of property

transactions and encountered just about every type of situation in that process that might

be a factor in pricing the home fairly and appropriately based on its appeal, special features,

and/or the potential negative factors ( determined by supply, demand, buyer feedback and

brokers experience) as well, it is likely to be either underpriced or overpriced with the simple

"CMA" or computer generated analysis, because the computerized analysis does not include

this broker insight, experience and knowledge that the highly-skilled veteran broker or agent

is most able to provide because they have that established tract record of working with

with many buyers and sellers over a long period of time as well as daily in the present market.

I have successfully closed over 2,800 home and property transactions since 1980, and

would like to put my vast knowledge of the industry to work for you if you are planning

to move, purchase or sale an existing property soon. I am also the broker/owner of my

own company incorporated in 1987, and graduated with a Master of Science Degree from

Texas A & M University in Commerce Texas in 1979, with double (Broadfield) business

major and a Secondary & Higher Education Teaching Certificate, even before getting

my Broker's License on September 17, 1980, and taught at Texas A & M University by

invitation, then went on to work for a major custom homebuilder, Goodman Homes,

while finishing my higher education and Master's degree in Business and completing

all the course requirements for the Broker's license for the Texas Real Estate

Commission. So, I actually, I have almost 30 years of valuable education and

experience in this industry, and I am confident there is really almost nothing I can

not market or sell with your best interest in mind in all market conditions.

Just fill out the form below and provide the information I need and I'll be glad to perform

a CMA your home and I will provide you with the results by email at no charge.*

The more details you provide, the more accurate this service will be. However, if you are

serious about selling please consider making an appointment for me to tour the home

personally with you so I can see the home's uniqueness as all properties are different in

location, condition, amenities, and appeal that these do affect the price a motivated buyer

is willing to pay. I would love to work with you and market and sell your home or

property from the initial listing to a successful close, regardless if it is a new home,

preowned home, custom estate home, home on acreage, farm and ranch property,

luxury home in gated or guarded communities, estate lot, acreage lot, or large

acreage estate lot, or land tract for residential development.
