reduce the stress and the time it takes to sell your home.

Working with an Ohio Licensed Real Estate
Broker or Realtor®
When working
with a licensed real estate broker/agent or Realtor®
to list a home for sale, the broker/agent typically provides you
with a BPO (Broker Price Opinion) or CMA
(Competitive Market Analysis) which will list recent
sales (typically only 3) and current listings (typically only
3) of homes similar to yours. The agent arrives at a proposed
listing price taking in consideration typical marketing time and
current inventory of homes for sale in your price range. Many
real estate experts recommend getting several opionions from differing
agents/brokers will give the widest spectrum of knowledge when
considering a listing price.

price in the shortest period of time for your home. Knowledge
of recent sales within your neighborhood can save you thousands

prospective buyers to show that your listing price is supported
by the local real estate market. The information included in the

of your home for the sale.

the judgment of the appraiser, but providing any additional relevant
information is usually appreciate by the knowledgeable appraiser.

be as much as 3-6 months old) and irrellavent. Making a crucial
financial decision about Ohio real estate based on a free, computer
generated service can cost you thousands of dollars.
