Setting Your Property’s Asking Price

Determining Fair Market Value

Pricing your home properly from the beginning is an important factor in determining how long it will take to sell your home, as well as being key to ensure maximum market exposure.

Comparative Market Analysis

An impartial evaluation of market activity is the most effective way to estimate a property’s potential selling price. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) determines Fair Market Value (FMV) & considers similar properties that:

Have sold in the recent past or are under contract:
- This shows us what buyers in this market have actually paid for properties similar to yours, or the asking price of properties successfully under contract. - This helps us gauge how much lending institutions will be willing to finance for your property.
Are currently on the market:
- These are properties that will be competing with yours for the attention of available buyers. - We can see exactly what alternatives a buyer will have to purchasing your home. - We can be certain that we are not overpricing or underpricing your property.
Factors that have little or no influence on a home’s market value:
- The price the seller originally paid for the property. - The seller’s expected net proceeds. - The dollar amount spent on improvements.

When Evaluating Comparable Properties, We Use the Following Criteria:

Properties active, under contract, or sold within 6 months.
Properties in the same or similar neighborhoods.
Properties +/-10% of your square footage.
Properties with like attributes: # of stories, # of garage spaces, with or without a pool, etc…
Properties in similar condition.
Remove Foreclosures & Short Sales.

JC was very helpful during the process of buying my first home. He directed me to lenders that truly had my best interest at heart. I almost made a few bad decisions that JC was there to wave off for me. I truly appreciate JC's responsiveness to ALL of my many questions and his willingness to be a sounding board for my frustrations in the process. I still hear from JC from time to time ensuring that I am happy with my home and letting me know of up and coming business in my area that might affect my property value. I will absolutely be using JC to purchase my next home.

Ruth helped us to view many houses and (over months) to make multiple offers in a really, really tough market for buyers. Our low bids were our own fault! Ruth's guesses are always spot on. We finally had a bid accepted last month, and Ruth helped us re-negotiate after significant problems were discovered. Ruth has gone above and beyond for us, giving us far more time during this long search than we could reasonably have expected. She even helped us look for a rental when we'd basically given up. Her advice has always been immensely valuable and brutally honest. She is the most knowledgeable agent I've met on the Central Austin market. She also handled our stress well, and believe me, buying in Austin right now is stressful!

I had a great experience working with Bramlett Partners Real Estate. Jean Holm was my agent and she & her team made the whole process very simple. She explained everything very well, was knowledgeable, had great advice, and got our home sold. Definitely reccomend!

I worked with Jeremy Vandermause to buy my first home. Jeremy was so patient throughout the process (which I definitely dragged out as I gathered all the facts). He consistently sent me homes I was interested in and was eager to show them off, and on the odd occasions where I found one he hadn't already seen he always made himself available to walk through with me. He was very helpful in those walkthroughs pointing out home features I would have missed, or providing context on neighborhood. As a native Austinite, he definitely knows the history and cultural fabric of the city and each neighborhood. I started with close to zero knowledge of the home-buying process and Jeremy walked me through every step with clarity and patience. So excited about the home I now own! Plus, he's just a legit cool dude. I always really enjoyed our conversations and could tell from the start he was someone worth knowing in Austin
