Sellers · SE Wisconsin

What is the house worth in this market?

Not an instant computer number. You send the address. I pull current comps and call you back.

Request a CMA

This is a request for a comparative market analysis prepared by Patrick — not an automated value, not an appraisal. Or text the address to 262.205.2463.

What you get

  • A short list of nearby actives and recent closeds — sourced from MLS / the team tools, not invented.
  • A price range and the assumptions behind it (condition, timing, who the buyer is).
  • If the house is already listed: what I would change first.

What this is not

  • Not an appraisal.
  • Not a tax assessment.
  • Not a Zillow-style instant value you should list at.
  • Not a listing agreement until you sign one.

If I cannot give a responsible range without walking the house, I will say that and we set a time.

Read the stuck-listing plan if the sign has already been up.

Straight answers

Home value questions

Is a CMA the same as an appraisal?

No. A comparative market analysis (CMA) is my read on likely price, built from current actives and recent closed sales near you. An appraisal is done by a licensed appraiser, usually for the buyer's lender after you are under contract. A CMA helps you set a price; it doesn't replace an appraisal.

Why not just use an online home value estimate?

Online estimates are a starting point, not a list price. They can't see your updates, condition, layout or the street you are on. I compare your house with real nearby sales and tell you the assumptions, so you know why the range is what it is.

Is my assessed value what my house is worth?

Not necessarily. Your municipality sets the assessed value for property tax purposes, and it can lag behind or run ahead of the market. Buyers pay what the market supports, so we price from comparable sales, not the tax bill.

Do I have to list with you if I request a CMA?

No. Asking for a CMA doesn't commit you to anything. You only have a listing agreement if you sign one. Plenty of people ask just to get a reality check before deciding.
