We implement multi-level marketing strategies that beneUt our clients with every transaction. Our real estate agents have extensive access to information about the communities in which they deal. This includes, but is not limited to: schools, populations, recreation, enter tainment, home values, growth potential and surrounding areas. Many agents live in the areas we ser ve and therefore can more accurately overcome potential obstacles and focus on the unique needs of our Ourclients.commercial
The real estate market is always changing and as a result, our agents regularly attend training sessions and events to fur ther their knowledge and be sure that they are focusing on current conditions that affect today's buyers and sellers. This type of training is imperative if we are to be successful in obtaining top dollar on home sales. Our goal is to make sure that we satisfy the special needs of all of our clients and at the same time make the process and transactions go as smoothly as possible.
The CM A is a here-and-now snapshot of the market, based on the most recent data available, but it can instantly be rendered obsolete by a new listing, or a change of status in a home with the same criteria. Why? The market is constantly changing - new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, and expired listings.
CMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and skill of the person creating the CMA as well as the number and type of data Uelds that are chosen. That means some features may not be included.
What is a CM A
Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011
CMAs are generated by using proper ty information from your real estate agent's multiple listing ser vice (MLS). The MLS is available to licensed members only, including brokers, salespeople, and appraisers, who pay dues to gain access to the ser vice's public and proprietar y data, including tax roll information, sold transactions, and listings input by all cooperating MLS members. Listing agents generate CM As for their sellers, and buyer's agents create them for their buyers so both sides know what current market conditions are for the homes they're interested in comparing.
Julia Bernstein
As informative as the CM A is, it should only be used as a tool and should not substitute for your real estate professional's knowledge and advice.
How accurate are CM As?
How is the CM A created?
5
No two homes are identical, which is why choosing a sales price or offer price for a home can be challenging. That's where the comparative market analysis, or CM A, is most useful.
What is a CM A? The CM A is a side-by-side comparison of homes for sale and homes that have recently sold in the same neighborhood and price range. This information is fur ther sor ted by data such as type of home, number of bedrooms, number of baths, lot size, neighborhood, proper ty condition and features, and many other factors. The purpose is to show estimated market value, based on what other buyers and sellers have determined through past sales, pending sales and homes recently put on the market.

While Crestwood is known for its array of architectural styles, its superb inventory of townhouses is frequently overlooked. Many of these occupy the Urst two blocks west of 16th Street and were developed shor tly after World War I. While Harr y Wardman never designed homes in Crestwood, many of these townhouses are described as Wardman style. This label is due to their generous and digniUed front porches and architectural details which date to the end of the 19th centur y. Most of them rival our single-family houses as far as interior and outdoor living space. The families who occupied this Une residence lived in it carefully since its inception. This is evident from the great quantity of original details found on every Voor of the house. Generous room sizes, original moldings, and numerous windows create an overall impression that is at once gracious and comfor table. The Urst Voor offers a generous front porch with its original balustrade. A large front hall opens onto the living room with French doors and a wood-burning Ureplace. The dining room was outUtted with custom built- in cabinets, and the sunroom provides a living area that could be used as a space to work from home or a small sitting room. The renovated kitchen offers high-quality appliances, cabinets, and Unishes. A powder room is found on this Voor as well as the entrance to the garden. The garden was professionally landscaped and offers an extremely highquality hardscape and patio. The detached two-car garage is accessible from the garden. The second Voor offers a large principal bedroom with en suite bathroom. Two other bedrooms are found on this Voor in addition to a hall bathroom and sunroom.The stair hall is illuminated by an original skylight. The third Voor provides additional living space comprising an oWce which can be used as a bedroom as well as plentiful storage space. The lower level is Unished and could be used for any number of purposes including an oWce, additional living space, or conver ted to an au pair suite. The laundr y room occupies a separate room on this level, and there is the convenience of an additional powder room.

This Tudor Revival has been transformed into one of the single most charming and elegant houses in Crestwood. More signiUcant than the expense that was lavished on this residence was the thoughtfulness and care that the current owners under took in the renovation of this handsome, Une home. Not one hinge or key escutcheon was too insigniUcant to warrant the consideration of the owners and the architect who guided them in this highest-quality endeavor. A pleasing and discreet entrance reveals a foyer Vanked by the living room with wood-burning Ureplace and front porch on the nor th side, and a traditional dining room arrangement on the south side. The kitchen was exceptionally well-renovated comprising a most eWcient plan. A sunroom off of the kitchen has views and access to the rear garden: a level and rectangular par terre with a hardscaped seating area. A large powder room is also found on this Voor, just off of the sunroom. The one-car garage with its original, solid, ver tical batten door is at the southernmost end of the lot, offering the convenience of parking or additional storage. The principal bedroom on the second Voor includes a renovated en suite bathroom which is in keeping with the rest of the sensibility of the house. There are two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a library, and the hall bathroom mirrors the quality of the principal bathroom and kitchen. The entire composition functions harmoniously and beautifully. The third Voor offers an additional bedroom and an en suite bathroom, which would ser ve handily as a space for guests. The lower level has a laundr y room and storage, which could be Unished as additional living space without great expense or trouble. It also has separate access to the side yard. Bernstein

Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011
Remarks
This semi-detached c. 1924 rowhouse is among the most generous in size and scale in the entire neighborhood given its width of 25 feet. Offering almost approximately 3,700 on all of its four levels, this residence is in many ways a better alternative to a detached house, providing more attractive interior spaces, better light, and a more commanding scale. It has been beautifully renovated with high quality replacement windows, and is a great juxtaposition of the best of historical details with a contemporary sensibility. The Urst Voor offers a front porch with its original balustrade, a large front hall which is essentially a room unto itself and opens onto the living room with a gas Ureplace. The dining room offers seating for up to 20 guests and has its original architectural details. The kitchen was recently renovated, as was the powder room, and the convenience of a sunroom that can be closed off by French doors provides a per fect spot for working from home. The kitchen and sunroom have a view of one of the largest gardens of all of the rowhouses and many of the single-family houses in Crestwood. The second Voor offers a large principal bedroom that was conceived of as a suite, incorporating a dressing room, and an anteroom which can be used for reading or media. Two other bedrooms are found on this Voor in addition to a very recently renovated hall bathroom. The third Voor can be Unished for additional living space, but is primarily being used for storage. The lower level is completely Unished and offers a very substantial au pair suite, with full kitchen living room, bedroom, full bathroom, and storage room. The house has been outUtted with the most current energy-saving technology including a smar t thermostat and programmable water heater. The rear of the house offers a large lawn with access to a detached two-car garage.

Below are a few of the ser vices we can provide as par t of the marketing of your home. Before we can get star ted, the Erst impor tant step is to:
Ongoing activities
Review and update status.
Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011
Invite brokers and agents to tour home. Begin agent to agent marketing effor ts.
At the closing, you will see the amount of commission being paid to each agent's brokerage on the closing disclosure form. There will be a por tion for the listing brokerage and a por tion for the selling brokerage. Each agent will then be paid by their broker for whatever amount of the commission they have earned based on their compensation agreement with their Becausebrokerage.agents are independent contractors, they use their por tion of the commission to cover all of their business costs, including marketing, health insurance, licensing costs, business insurance, continuing education, and more.
Julia Bernstein
All commissions paid to a real estate agent have to pass through their broker; only a broker can pay a commission and only a broker can sign a listing agreement or a buyer representation agreement.
When the home is listed in the Multiple Listing Ser vice (MLS), the listing broker discloses the terms of the commission to other cooperating brokers, so they know what compensation is offered before they bring their buyers to the listing. When the buyer's broker presents an offer to the seller, it typically includes a provision to collect their share of the sales commission, as offered by the listing agent in the MLS.
50
Commission Distribution
The vast majority of real estate agents work on commission, meaning that they are paid once the transaction closes. To simplify how commissions are routed, sales commissions are paid out of the seller's proceeds, according to the terms of the listing agreement and/or the sales contract. Thus, the buyers' agent commission is paid by the sellers, as a por tion of their listing commission.

• Their continuing education keeps them up-to-date on housing issues.
• They understand personal safety and security for your belongings during showings.
• They have oversight from brokers and state licensing oWcials.
• They know the best resources to make transactions go more smoothly, from bankers to home-stagers to contractors.
• Their job is making real estate transactions successful.

With a real estate professional in your corner, you'll have a par tner by your side to advocate for you and advise you through the entire home sale process. Bernstein
• They know how to present your home and deal with buyers.
Why You Need a Real Estate Professional
• They know how to negotiate.
Given the proliferations of ser vices that help home buyers and sellers complete their own transaction, you may have considered whether you should go it yourself instead of working with an agent. However, there is no substitute for an experienced professional, and taking on all the responsibility yourself could be costlier than an agent's commission in the long Accorrun.ding
• They're trained and licensed professionals.
Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011 Julia
Beyond the price advantage of using an agent, homes listed by real estate professionals get more exposure and their sellers get more suppor t. Here are some other considerations:
• Their job is to advise you the best way to reach your goals.
• They understand state-required disclosures and look out for your best interests.
• They have experience in your neighborhood and your market.
• They know how and where to market proper ties effectively
to the National Association of Realtors' 2021 ProUle of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 7% of homes sales were accomplished as for sale by owners (FSBO), and of those, 57% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $260,000 in 2021, compared to the agent assisted home sale median price of $318,000.
Pricing a home for sale is as much ar t as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.
• The market never lies, but it can change its mind.
Overpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.

Fair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area.
• The Urst two weeks of marketing are crucial.
Intelligent Pricing and Timing
Sellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.
• Fair market value attracts buyers, overpricing never does.
The market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.
Your best chance of selling your home is in the Urst two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.
With a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Ser vice, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest Vurr y of attention and interest in the Urst two weeks.
Intelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market
If you don't get many showings or offers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.

Consult with your agent and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.
• Keep your lawn mowed, edged, and watered. Prune dead branches and plants. Weed Vower beds and replace leggy, thin landscaping with fresh plants and Vowers.
• Install Vowerboxes or pots of blooming Vowers for a pop of color.

• Install new house numbers that match the Unish of your light Uxtures.
Most buyers form their Urst impression of your home before they even get out of the car. Curb appeal is the view from the curb that gives potential buyers the Urst chance to fall in love with your home.
Here's a simple cleanup and spruce up checklist to make sure your home leaves a stellar Urst impression:
• Hang a seasonal wreath from your front door
• Replace loose or damaged roof shingles, clean the gutters, and paint and caulk window trim and doors.
• Power wash siding, brick, windows, and porches.
Curb Appeal, A First Impression That Lasts
The exterior of your home should be in pristine condition - clean, cleared of clutter, with no visible repairs needed. A broken step, overgrown bush, or abandoned toys in the yard can spoil both the home's appearance and the potential buyer's Urst impression.
• Make the front door area shine: consider repainting your front door and placing a new welcome mat. Polish the door hardware and make sure all front facing windows are clean.
• Consider upgrading your mailbox; it's an inexpensive Ux and the Urst thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home.

• Replace light Uxtures -and if possible, pick new Uxtures with the same mounting system to save time and hassle.
• Clear driveways and walkways of snow, weeds, and debris. Repair or replace cracked steps or pavers. Whenever possible, driveways should be clear of vehicles.
A professional stager will typically begin with an in-home consultation, where they will walk through your home with you, review the proper ty, and provide a repor t with their advice for the home. The repor t will include advice on de-cluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in different rooms. The stager may also give tips for improving curb appeal. The most common rooms that are staged are the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and dining room.

When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of Realtors ProUle of Home Staging. Staging can also shor ten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents repor ting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.

When you list your home for sale, it becomes a product rather than your personal retreat. You want potential homebuyers to be able to envision themselves living in the home, which can be diWcult if your family's personality is still evident. Before going on market, your agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want to bring in a professional stager to help guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.
Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, your stager could handle bringing in supplementar y furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. The cost of ser vices provided will vary depending how much assistance your home will need.

Staging Your Home
• Clean out the garage and attic: Buyers want to see what kind of storage there is.
Showings & Open House Checklist
Everyone gets a basket and cleans up clutter. Check for hazards, like toys left on the Voor. Make sure all toys, including bicycles, are put away.
• Remove breakables: Figurines, china, cr ystal and other breakables should be packed and put away in the garage or storage.
Julia Bernstein
• Turn on lights: Open the drapes, turn on lights so buyers can really see.
• Give the buyer privacy: The buyer cannot come to your home without being accompanied by an agent. They will be more comfor table touring the home without your presence.
• Put pets in daycare, sleep cages or take them with you: In the listing instructions, there should be a warning if there is a big dog on premises. Buyers with allergies also may appreciate knowing in advance if you have pets.
Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011
• Get in the habit: Wash dishes immediately after meals. Clean off counter tops. Make beds in the morning. Keep pet toys and beds washed and smelling fresh.
Once your home goes on the market, real estate agents may call to show your home anytime, even if you've listed preferred showing times in the instructions. Keeping your home in showtime condition can be challenging, especially if you have children and pets. Here are some pointers for presenting your home in the best light
• Eliminate clutter: The less cluttered your home, the better it shows. If you have a lot of knick-knacks, collections, or family mementos, consider renting a por table storage unit, which can be stored until it's time to deliver it to your new home.
Showings and Open House Checklist
• Keep, donate, throw away: If you have time before you go on the market, sor t unwanted belongings into one of these three baskets. You'll receive more in tax beneUts for your donations than pennies on the dollar at a garage sale. It's faster, more eWcient and you'll help more people.
• Have a family plan of action: When a showing happens at an inconvenient time, get the family engaged. Everyone can pitch in to tidy up in a hurr y: pick up glasses, plates, clothing, and anything else left lying about.
• Remove temptations: Take valuable jewelr y and collectibles to a safety deposit box, a safe, or store them in a secure location. Also secure your prescription medicine and private Unancial documents.
• Be hospitable: You want your home to look like a home. Open the blinds, turn on the lights, and make visitors feel welcomed.

Packing up and moving on

Comparative Market Analysis 4520 17th Street Nor thwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011
Even in the most well-planned moves, something unexpected may happen. In those instances, insurance is crucial. Check with your homeowner 's insurance provider about coverage for your belongings while moving. Your mover will provide either released value insurance (about $0.60 per pound of goods lost or damaged, according to NAVL.com) or full replacement value, which you must sign for on your bill of lading. If you are not sure how to estimate the value of your belongings for insurance purposes, your insurance carrier can help. Items of special value such as heirlooms, paintings, or collectibles can be insured under separate riders. In the event of damage to an item, Ule a claim immediately. Be sure to save the packing materials to show to the adjuster, should there be any problems.
If you are moving interstate, you should read and understand all of the information you will receive. In addition to brochures explaining their various ser vices, moving companies should give you a copy of a consumer booklet titled "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" and information regarding the mover's par ticipation in a Dispute Settlement Program. Distribution of the consumer booklet and the requirement that movers must offer shippers neutral arbitration as a means of settling disputes that may arise concerning loss or damage on household goods shipments are requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The closer a home is to jobs, parks, transpor tation, schools, and community ser vices, the more desirable it is.
Features such as outdoor kitchens and spa baths make a home more luxurious. A home Unished with hardwood Voors and granite counter tops is going to cost more than a home with carpet and laminate counter tops.
Additional bedrooms and bathrooms raise the value of a home compared to similar homes that do not have those rooms.

The Value of Your Home
Features and Enishes
In a neighborhood of similar homes, why is one wor th more than another? That's the question that's teased buyers and sellers for ages, but the answer is simple.
Location
When a home is sold, a willing seller and a willing buyer determine the value of that home with the sale price. That price then becomes a benchmark for other similar homes, but other factors come into play. The most impor tant are:
From the street, the home looks clean, fresh, and inviting. Fresh landscaping and Vowers won't change the size or location, but they cer tainly add charm.
Size
Square footage impacts home value because a larger home is built using more materials, and gives the homeowner more usable space. And a larger lot size could mean more privacy than a smaller one.
The closer a home is to new construction, the more it will retain its value. It's perceived as more modern, up to date, and perhaps safer. Homes that are not updated or in poor repair sell for less as purchasers' factor in the cost of updating and eventually replacing appliances and systems.
Ever y home is different
Condition
When two homes are identical in the same neighborhood, a higher price may come down to something as simple as views, paint colors, or the overall taste of the homeowner.
