Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report

Purpose: This report is designed to enable the real estate broker to conduct a diligent analysis of the subject property’s condition, competition, and future marketability. Based on this analysis, the broker is to estimate the subject property’s Most Likely Sales Price.

This is not a home inspection. Nor is this an appraisal; this comparative market analysis has not been performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. It is not to be construed as an appraisal and may not be used as such for any purpose. Preparers of this form need to be aware of any state-specific disclosure requirements and include them in this form as appropriate.

Procedural Guidelines: For procedures on contacting homeowner, inspecting property, submitting report, and providing photos, follow the requesting company’s guidelines. The Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) is based on “as is” condition and a marketing time not to exceed 120 days to a contract of sale or as directed by the client.

Form Specifications

Fact	Description
Purpose and Use	This form allows a real estate broker to conduct a thorough market analysis of a property, focusing on condition, competition, and marketability to estimate its Most Likely Sales Price. It is not a home inspection or an appraisal.
State-Specific Disclosures	Brokers are advised to be aware of any state-specific disclosure requirements and include them in the form as appropriate, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Procedural Guidelines	Brokers are instructed to follow the guidelines provided by the requesting company for procedures such as contacting the homeowner, inspecting the property, submitting the report, and providing photos.
"As Is" Condition	The Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) is determined based on the property's current condition, with an expected marketing time not to exceed 120 days unless directed otherwise by the client.
Not an Appraisal	The comparative market analysis performed is explicitly mentioned to not align with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and cannot be used as an appraisal.
Inspection and Repair Estimates	The form requires an assessment of the property's condition, including any necessary repairs and improvements with estimated costs, but it does not replace a professional home inspection.
Marketing and Financing	Brokers are prompted to list any issues that might affect the property’s insurability, the most probable means of financing for the prospective buyer, and any financing concessions that may need to be made to facilitate the sale.

Ensure that all required state-specific disclosures are included and that the property analysis is conducted in line with the procedural guidelines provided. Submit the report and all necessary photographs to the requesting company as per their guidelines. This thorough analysis will aid in determining the most competitive yet fair market price for the property, considering its current condition and market dynamics.

The Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) refers to the estimated price at which a property is most likely to sell. It is determined by analyzing the property's "as is" condition, market competition, and expected market trends over a marketing time not exceeding 120 days or as directed by the client.

What should be included in the SUBJECT CONDITION section?

The SUBJECT CONDITION section should detail the current state of the property, including décor, construction completeness, any evidence of water damage, structural issues, and any odors or pet damage. It also includes recommended repairs and improvements with estimated costs and any known issues that may affect the property's insurability.

How are competing listings analyzed in the report?

Competing listings are analyzed by comparing their attributes such as address, listing prices, days on the market (DOM), type of exterior and roof, car storage options, year built, lot size, and overall condition to those of the subject property. This helps determine the subject property's market position and competitive edge.

What is the significance of the financing section in the report?

The financing section identifies the most probable means of financing for the subject property and any financing concessions necessary to secure the sale. It also discusses potential issues that might affect the ability to secure financing, reflecting the property's marketability from a financial perspective.

How is the subject neighborhood defined and analyzed?

The subject neighborhood is defined based on the preparer’s judgment, considering factors like the geographic area, type of properties, and market dynamics within that area. The analysis includes property values trends, average days on market, and the absorption rate to provide insight into the local real estate market's health.

How do recommended marketing concessions and incentives fit into the report?

Based on the analysis of comparable and competing listings, the report may recommend marketing concessions and incentives to make the subject property more appealing to potential buyers. This could include seller concessions, pricing strategies, or other incentives to enhance the property’s competitiveness in the market.

What is the role of inspections and disclosures in this analysis?

Inspections and disclosures play a crucial role in identifying any legal, structural, or environmental issues with the property that could affect its insurability, marketability, or price. Required, customary, and additionally recommended inspections are listed along with any required disclosures to ensure transparency and compliance with state laws.

How important are custom comments and observations by the agent or broker?

Custom comments and observations provide personalized insights into the property's unique features or potential challenges, offering valuable context that numbers and checklists alone may not fully convey. These observations can significantly impact the final analysis and recommendations.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Worldwide ERC^® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report demands meticulous attention to ensure accuracy and completeness. However, common mistakes can occur, which could significantly impact the analysis' effectiveness and the estimation of the subject property's Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP). Here are seven such mistakes:

Not inspecting the property thoroughly: Skipping or rushing through the property inspection can lead to underreported issues or overlooked improvements, which are crucial for an accurate assessment.
Omitting state-specific disclosure requirements: Each state may have unique disclosure mandates that need to be addressed in the analysis. Failure to include these can lead to legal issues or misrepresentation of the property's condition and marketability.
Incorrectly estimating the MLSP: Overestimating or underestimating the Most Likely Sales Price based on inaccurate or incomplete analysis can lead to setting unrealistic expectations for the homeowners or potential buyers.
Overlooking locational issues: Not properly assessing or reporting issues related to the property's location, such as proximity to environmental sites or noise pollution, can significantly affect the property's desirability and valuation.
Failure to compare similar market properties adequately: Inadequate comparison with similar properties in the market area can lead to an inaccurate estimation of the subject property's market position and potential sale price.
Misjudging market conditions: Not accurately describing the current economic conditions, market trends, or inventory levels within the subject's neighborhood and the broader market area can mislead the report's recipients regarding the property's marketability.
Incomplete financial information: Omitting key financial details such as anticipated issues affecting the ability to secure financing for the subject property, or inaccurately describing the financing terms can hinder potential sales processes.

To avoid these mistakes, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis, taking into account the specific requirements of the Worldwide ERC^® form, state-specific regulations, and the unique aspects of the property and its market. A careful approach ensures the production of an informative, accurate, and useful Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report.

Documents used along the form

When working with the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report, professionals realize the importance of comprehensive documentation in supporting real estate transactions. Such meticulousness ensures that every aspect of the property's marketability and potential challenges are well documented, aiding in making informed decisions. Beyond the core market analysis report, several other documents play a crucial role in painting a full picture of the property's context, condition, and value.

Home Inspection Report: This document provides a detailed examination of the property's condition. It covers various components including the foundation, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances. The aim is to identify any defects or issues that may need repair or may affect the property's value.
Appraisal Report: An essential document for understanding the property's value, the appraisal report offers an unbiased valuation based on the property’s features, condition, and comparisons with similar properties in the area. This is critical for both setting the selling price and for financing purposes.
Disclosure Statements: Sellers often provide disclosure statements to inform potential buyers about any known issues or defects with the property that may affect its value or use. This might include previous damages, repairs, environmental hazards, or any additions or improvements made.
Title Report: This report outlines the property’s ownership history, along with detailing any liens, encroachments, easements, or other restrictions on the property. It's vital for ensuring clear title and for disclosing any factors that might impact the property's use or value.
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): Although similar to the ERC Broker’s Market Analysis, a CMA focuses more on comparing the subject property to similar properties in the area that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or were on the market but did not sell. This assists in determining the competitive price for the property based on current market trends.

Utilizing these documents in conjunction with the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report equips real estate professionals with a thorough understanding of the property and its positioning in the market. Each document contributes a piece to the puzzle, enabling a strategic approach to pricing, marketing, and negotiating the sale of the property. The collective insights garnered from these documents serve as a foundation for making well-informed, strategic decisions that align with the interests of both sellers and buyers.

Misconceptions

Understanding the intricacies of real estate documents can often lead to misconceptions, particularly with specialized forms like the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report. This report plays a crucial role in realistic property valuations, yet several myths surround its use and purpose. Addressing these misconceptions is essential for professionals navigating the real estate market. Here are five common misunderstandings about the ERC Broker Market Analysis form:

It's an Appraisal: One of the most enduring misconceptions is that the ERC Broker Market Analysis form serves as an official appraisal. However, this document explicitly states that it is not an appraisal and does not follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. It's designed for brokers to provide an estimated sale price based on a diligent analysis, not to offer a formal appraisal.
It Guarantees Sales Price: Another common belief is that the Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) determined by the form guarantees the price at which the property will sell. In reality, the MLSP is an educated guess based on current market conditions and the property's "as is" condition. The actual sale price can vary due to negotiations, market changes, or other factors unforeseen at the time of analysis.
It’s Equal to a Home Inspection: Some people confuse the ERC Broker Market Analysis form with a home inspection report. While the broker's market analysis does consider the condition of the property, it does not provide the in-depth evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and components that a professional home inspection does.
It's Only Necessary for Corporate Moves: Though widely used in the context of employee relocations, the usefulness of the ERC Broker Market Analysis form isn't limited to corporate moves. Any seller or real estate professional seeking a detailed market analysis could benefit from the insights it provides, making it a versatile tool beyond its original intent.
It Requires No Disclosures: A significant misunderstanding is the belief that the form eliminates the need for state-specific disclosures. On the contrary, preparers are reminded within the form to be aware of and include any state-specific disclosure requirements as appropriate, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of legal issues.

In summary, while the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report is a powerful tool for estimating a property's most likely sales price, understanding its purpose and limitations is crucial. Dispelling common misconceptions allows real estate professionals to utilize the form effectively, ensuring accurate, comprehensive analyses tailored to the unique challenges of the market.

The Most Likely Sales Price determined should reflect the property's condition "as is" and assumes a market time not exceeding 120 days to a contract of sale unless otherwise directed by the client.
Completing the form requires detailed information about the subject property, including homeowner improvements, listing status, and any known issues that may affect the property's insurability or marketability. Accurate and comprehensive data collection is crucial for the reliability of the analysis.
