CMA and Market Analysis

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Pricing your home is obviously a key part of the home selling.


A home that is under-priced needlessly costs the client potential return. An over-priced home can remain on
the market for an extended amount of time, forcing the seller to either wait out a long listing period or have to
adjust down the asking price. Getting the pricing right from the start avoids these potential pitfalls.

The CMA will help us to determine the fair market value. In short, fair market value is the highest price that an informed buyer will pay for your home. Establishing fair market value will enable us to sit down and discuss in detail the pricing of your home. I want to help you
settle on a price that you feel is competitive and consistent with the current market.

I understand that all of this can be a bit overwhelming, so feel free to call or e-mail me at any time. Please
also explore my website, it has a lot of information to cover your real estate needs. I’m here not only to sell your
home, but also to serve as a resource for you during this exciting time. I would love to be of assistance to
you.

Finding a Real Estate Professional in Central Indiana

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

If you’re considering buying or selling a home, selecting a real estate agent is the first important decision you will have to make. While there are many qualified real estate agents out there, it’s important to decide on a professional who will understand your needs and individual preferences, someone who you can respect and trust. Nearly four out of five homebuyers and sellers enlist in the help of a real estate professional or broker. Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or sell the one you’re in, choosing a professional who best fits your needs is vital. Here are some questions to consider when choosing an agent:

  • How long have they been a real estate professional?
  • Do they work full or part time?
  • How long have they been working in this particular area?
  • What type of homes do they usually handle?
  • How much of their business comes from repeat customers or referrals?
  • How many homes did they sell last year?
  • How often can you expect to be updated, regardless of any progress?

Above all you should choose an agent that you feel comfortable with. Your real estate professional will be your guide through the entire process of buying or selling a home, and can be a valuable resource. Make sure that whomever you select is well suited to your demands.

I’d love to hear from you and have the opportunity to discuss why I may be right for you.

Home Searches and Hamilton County Schools

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Consider Schools In Your Home Search

When looking for the perfect place to call home, many families must consider school districts in their search.  A good realtor, like the ones you find at the RE/MAX Pinnacle Real Estate Group can help you find the information that you need to make a great decision for your family.

School data can be found in several locations.  Each individual corporation will host a website.  If you are searching for a home in Hamilton County, you might take a look at the Carmel Clay School site.  Here you will find information for prospective students and families.  Want to understand Graduation Rates? Support Services? Advanced Placement Opportunities?  Be sure to check it out.  Most districts also welcome phone calls and visits from prospects.

Another additional resource for school data is the Indiana State Department of Education website.  On this site you will find specific numbers for each corporation and individual school.  Data is available for Graduation Rates, ISTEP scores, Star Schools, median income, population demographics, and advanced placement stats, to name a few.  You can use this site to compare schools in several different districts with the tools that the site offers.  This gives families who might be relocating into an unfamiliar area, the opportunity to make informed decisions.  Using Carmel Clay, Hamilton County schools as an example you will find stats for:

  • The number of students attending the High School
  • The percentage of students passing Math and English assessments
  • Demographics for the area
  • Staff data such as “Highly Qualified Teachers”

Have you already seen a home, or perhaps driven by one that you like?  Call me today!  I can help you with the information that you need and let you know the school district that the home resides in.  From there, I can direct you to the tools and sites that will allow you as a home buyer to make a great decision for your family.
