Product Overview

This course is specifically designed to help residential real estate agents and brokers enhance their skills in pricing properties, creating comparative market analyses (CMAs), and guiding clients through the complexities of valuation.

The course begins by putting the CMA in context on the spectrum of valuation services—which also includes appraisals, automated valuation models (AVMs), and broker price opinions (BPOs). In addressing the core CMA activity of determining selling and offer prices, the course offers substantial guidance on comparables and adjustments, including using RPR® tools for these purposes.

Pricing Strategies: Mastering the CMA pays special attention to Article 11 of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, which defines the roles and responsibilities that REALTORS® must honor and uphold as they prepare their opinions on property value and price. In addition, the course provides step-by-step guidance on how to prepare and deliver a comprehensive CMA Report, work with appraisers and appraisal reports, and how to keep one’s pricing skills up-to-date and honed.

This course is the main requirement for the Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) certification and is an approved elective for the Accredited Buyer’s Representative® (ABR®) designation and the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation.
