It's not just a CMA, It's a TMA. CMA stands for Comparable Market Analysis.  A CMA is a compilation of data that is gathered from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is used by Realtors® as well as licensed appraisers and it provides information regarding properties that have been or are currently being sold on the market.  The data is used to assist in determining marketable value for a subject property by comparing the subject to similar properties for sale now and those that have sold in the recent past.  Sold data is often referred to as a "comp". Layman's terms:  A CMA is a report that Realtors® run that gives us an idea of what homes have recently sold for that are similar to the one you are trying to sell.  Realtors® compare square footage, # of bedrooms and baths, featur...

I am a highly trained professional. And I know what you're probably thinking -- doesn't every inspector say the same thing? -- However, I am actually the only Third Generation Home Inspection in the industry... at least as far as I know and I have asked. Yes... that's right... the only one... my grandfather was an inspector; and my dad, who some of you know (Mike Crow), and now I am doing inspections and loving it. As a matter of fact, I walked my first room at about the age of 6 and have been learning about houses ever since. So if you are looking for an inspector that has been highly trained (by both my dad and granddad) and has been in the business his whole life, then I am your inspector. And I want you to know that I enjoy this business... And I enjoy working for You or your friend...

It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Fort Worth today so we decided to go to the Main Street Arts Festival to mingle with the thousands of other people who also thought it was too pretty to stay inside.The Arts Festival is an annual event that brings artists from all across the country to show their art pieces. There's everything from paintings and sculpture to pottery. There were several handmade leather shops (very pricey) and of course my favorite...jewelry! Couldn't get hubby to THATbooth! LOLIt's always so much fun to go because you see all kinds of entertainment. These guys were very good with a style called Western Swing. The guy with the beard could sure yodel!Now this very colorfully dressed gentleman played an instrument called the African Harp and it sounded great! I thought ...

Whenever I am looking for a great way to relieve the stress that can pry it's way into my brain and my tired body... after a particularly nasty day at work... I often find that taking a walk in the park will do wonders. When I lived in Mentor, Ohio, which is near Cleveland, I would take a drive out into the countryside, and stop at one of the many parks that encircled the entire Greater Cleveland area.  I'd park the car, take a small picnic lunch with me, and off I would go.  Small creeks usually wound their way through most of the parkland, and walking along the banks was something that just soothed my entire being. I'd either find a park bench to rest on, or perhaps a nice grassy area to sit down on, and... with my back up against a tree... I'd slowly eat my picnic lunch.  Cleveland i...

One of the things I enjoy doing... is snooping... or maybe "scouting" is a better word... scouting around all the new home neighborhoods that are pretty well sprinkled all around the Fort Worth area. Today I came upon two new models... that are a pretty exciting "find"... in my opinion.  I've got some preliminary pictures that I want to share.  The models aren't quite finished yet... that's why you see a lovely (?) truck in front of one of the models... but I was so excited... I wanted to get them online as soon as I could. Here is the first of those two model homes.  This looks like it is really going to be a great one story home.  I really like the way it is set up inside.  Great floor plan arrangement. As you enter, there is a cool room at the right of the entryway... great for a den...
