📌 How We Determine the Best Price:
✅ A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) – Checking recent sales in your area.
✅ Current market trends – Supply, demand & buyer activity.
✅ Your home’s unique features & condition.

💡 Pro Tip: Homes priced correctly from the start receive more offers & higher selling prices.
