🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Online Estimate vs. Professional CMA: What's the R Online Estimate vs. Professional CMA: What's the Real Difference? 🏠
An automated valuation gives you a number. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) gives you a strategy.
Here's what a professional CMA includes that algorithms can't provide:
👁️ Physical Inspection – I actually walk through your home and assess condition, updates, and appeal
📍 Micro-Local Expertise – Street-by-street knowledge that impacts value (premium locations, school zones, neighborhood trends)
📊 Adjusted Comparables – Not just recent sales, but analyzed and adjusted for YOUR home's specific features
💡 Market Intelligence – Current buyer demand, inventory levels, and pricing strategy for today's conditions
🎯 Strategic Positioning – How to price to attract the right buyers and maximize your return
The difference? An algorithm assumes your renovated kitchen is "average." A CMA quantifies it: "$15,000 premium for modern finishes vs. comparable with dated oak cabinets."
Your home deserves more than a number—it deserves a strategy. Learn why professional valuation still matters in our latest blog post.

Starting your financial prep now gives you a huge advantage in the home buying process. Here's your 12-month timeline to get mortgage-ready:⁣

12 months out: ✅ Start saving for your down payment (aim for 10-20% of your target home price) ✅ Check your credit report and dispute any errors⁣
⁣
6-9 months out: ✅ Pay down existing debt to improve your debt-to-income ratio ✅ Avoid opening new credit accounts ✅ Build up your emergency fund (3-6 months of expenses)⁣
⁣
3-6 months out: ✅ Research lenders and mortgage options ✅ Gather financial documents (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements)⁣
⁣
1-3 months out: ✅ Get pre-approved for your mortgage ✅ Start house hunting with confidence!⁣
