While many real estate agents still use the old fashion “PFA” (Pulled From the Air) method to determine the fair market value of your Raleigh & the Triangle home, we’ll remove all the guesswork when your home is evaluated. Your Raleigh & the Triangle home will be priced properly using current data to perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). In the CMA, we’ll collect and compare data for homes that have recently sold in your neighborhood. This system will analyze Raleigh & the Triangle homes that are comparable to yours in terms of house size, lot size, improvements, locations, and schools.
