  2. Pricing your property to sell - Jim will provide a professional 
  market analysis of your real estate. This will include a comparative 
  market analysis , showing you recent sales of similar properties, and 
  information regarding similar properties currently on the market for 
  sale. This information will guide you in setting the correct price of 
  your real estate so it will sell. To obtain proper market exposure it 
  is an absolute necessity to be competitive in price, terms and 
  condition with similar properties selling in your area. It is a 
  mistaken idea to think that you will get more for a property by asking 
  more. You may get less, because fewer buyers will consider it, the 
  right buyer will not see it and it stays on the market so long it 
  becomes "stale" and "shop worn" For a free CMA, click here.
