Having a second opinion, especially if the professional providing that opinion has no vested interest in the outcome, is important for any major decision.
When you are planning to list a house or are considering buying one, there are many real estate agents from which to choose as your agent. These agents, however, have a vested interest in the outcome: listing with them; buying through them. Therefore, getting an independent analysis–a second opinion–is something worth considering.
Sears & Partners prepare a 20-35 page Comparative Market Analysis of the property you wish to list or buy. This analysis includes:
- Neighborhood Real Estate Market: Historical Data and Trends
- Neighborhood Real Estate Market: Current Data Points
- Description and Professional Opinion of the Home’s Interior and Exterior
- Identification and Analysis of Comparative Properties Sold within the Past 6 Months
- Identification and Analysis of Competitive Properties Currently on the Market
- Recommended Pricing Range and Price Point
- Considerations for Pricing Upgrades (if a listing) or for Negotiated Reductions (if a purchase)
