Market Conditions - Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market?
A CMA often includes a Days on the Market (DOM) value for each comparable house sold. When real estate is booming and prices are rising, houses may sell in a few days. Conversely, when the market slows down, average DOM can run into many months.
Your REALTOR® can tell you whether your area is currently in a buyer's market or a seller's market. In a seller's market, you can price a bit beyond what you really expect, just to see what the reaction will be. In a buyer's market, if you really need to sell promptly, offer an attractive bargain price.
If You Price High, Set a Schedule for Lowering the Price
Some sellers list at the rock-bottom price they'd really take, because they hate bargaining. Others add on thousands to the estimated market value "just to see what happens." If you want to try that, and if you have the luxury of enough time to feel out the market, sit down with your REALTOR® and work out an advance schedule for lowering the price if need be.
If there haven't been many prospects viewing your home after three weeks, you may need to lower your list price. If that doesn't bring any prospective buyers, you may need to lower your list price again. Plan on doing that regularly until you find a level that attracts buyers. Make a written schedule in advance, before emotion takes over and you're tempted to dig your heels in.
Offering Incentives to Hasten a Sale
Sometimes cash incentives are as effective as lowering the price, especially in the lower price range where buyers may be "cash poor." You may offer to pay some or all of a buyer's closing costs and discount points required by the buyer's lending institution.
If you haven't had much traffic through your house and you're in a hurry to sell, you may want to add the offer of a bonus to the selling broker, in addition to their commission. An example of the wording for such an offer may be "to the broker who brings a successful offer before Christmas."
Estimating Net Proceeds
Once you've been given an estimate of market value by your REALTOR®, you can get a rough idea of how much cash you might walk away with when the sale is completed. This can be particularly useful when you start looking for another home to buy.
To estimate your net proceeds, from the estimated sales amount, subtract the applicable costs in the three sections outlined below: seller's costs, buyer's/seller's costs and closing costs.
Seller's Costs: Subtract the following costs as applicable.
Buyer's/Seller's Costs: Additionally, your REALTOR® can tell you whether local customs or rules dictate whether the buyer or seller pays for the items listed below. Subtract the following costs, as applicable.
Closing Costs: As far as closing costs are concerned, you and your eventual buyer may agree on any arrangement that suits you, no matter what local practice dictates. Your REALTOR® will assist you in estimating what your final closing costs will be.

How to Set a List Price for Your Home
Setting the list price for your home involves evaluating various market conditions and financial factors. During this phase of the home selling process, your REALTOR® will help you set your list price based on:
Pricing Considerations - Find a Balance Between Too High and Too Low
When setting a list price for your home, you should be aware of a buyer's frame of mind. Consider the following pricing factors:
If you set the price too high, your house won't be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than other homes on the street. You may have told your REALTOR® to "Bring me any offer. Frankly, I'd take less." But compared to other houses for sale, your home simply looks too expensive to be considered.
If you price too low, you'll short-change yourself. Your house will sell promptly, yes, but you may make less on the sale than if you had set a higher price and waited for a buyer who was willing to pay it.
TIP: Never say "asking" price, which implies you don't expect to get it.
Price Against Comparable Sales in Your Neighborhood
No matter how attractive and polished your house, buyers will be comparing its price with everything else on the market.
Your best guide is a record of what the buying public has been willing to pay in the past few months for property in your neighborhood. Your REALTOR® can furnish data on sales figures for those comparable sales and analyze them to help you come up with a suggested listing price. The decision about how much to ask, though, is always yours.
Competitive Market Analysis (CMA): The list of comparable sales a REALTOR® brings to you, along with data about other houses in your neighborhood that are presently on the market, is used for a "Comparative Market Analysis" (CMA). To help in estimating a possible sales price for your house, the analysis will also include data on nearby houses that failed to sell in the past few months, along with their list prices.
A CMA differs from a formal appraisal in several ways. One major difference is that an appraisal will be based only on past sales. Also, an appraisal is done for a fee while the CMA is provided by your REALTOR® and may include properties currently listed for sale and those currently pending sale. For the average home sale, a CMA probably gives enough information to help you set a proper price.
Formal Written Appraisal: A formal written appraisal (which may cost a few hundred dollars) can be useful if you have unique property, if there hasn't been much activity in your area recently, if co-owners disagree about price or if there is any other circumstance that makes it difficult to put a value on your home.
TIP: If you do order a market value appraisal, make it clear you don't need an elaborate, or full narrative report, i.e., the kind that's complete with photos of the house and neighborhood. Floor plans and a site map is sufficient in most cases.

She also created the Forum Tennis Challenge Series, which became a mainstay on the Forum calendar for years. She was responsible for bringing in players such as John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Steffi Graf, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova and other top professionals.
In 1993, Buss brought professional roller hockey to L.A. as the owner of the Los Angeles Blades. Her leadership of and dedication to the franchise earned her Executive of the Year honors by Roller Hockey International.
Prior to assuming her current position with the Lakers, Buss served as president of the Forum in Inglewood, home of the Lakers (basketball) and Kings (hockey) before both professional teams relocated downtown to the Staples Center in 1999. Throughout her tenure with the Forum, Buss' involvement with the Lakers continued to increase, and she has served as an alternate governor on the NBA Board of Governors since 1995.
Buss, 48, is the third of six children to Lakers owner Jerry Buss. She resides in Playa del Rey and is the longtime girlfriend of Lakers head coach Phil Jackson

Although I have been a Los Angeles Westside resident for most of my life(28 years), I was born in South Africa and moved to Santa Monica in 1981. After graduating from Santa Monica High School in 1990, I enrolled in Santa Monica College where I spent the next two years taking Business & Management courses. After attending UCLA for a short period, I decided to help my family run our restaurant, Palisades Garden Cafe(formerly Palisades Bakery), in Pacific Palisades. Being in such a great part of town, it was not long before I realized that I should join the Real Estate world. After spending a short while working with a Top Producer in Pacific Palisades, I decided to work for Coldwell Banker in Malibu. Working with top producers and high-end properties in Malibu was an amazing experience and helped me gain knowledge of the Real Estate industry. I have assisted in successfully closing over 1600 transactions amounting to more than 6 billion dollars in sales!
In 2006 I decided to leave "Corporate America" and accept an Associate Manager position from Bill Toth, owner of Windermere Real Estate/Bill Toth & Associates. Helping manage, train, and mentor the agents was a great deal of enjoyment and experience. The experience I gained was priceless!
In 2008 I joined forces with one of my best friends and associates, Josh Barre. We created Westside Properties, a division of RealPro Financial. With the vision of an upscale boutique real estate company, we have chosen to grow very slowly and are carefully selecting our agents and support staff. Westside Properties now employs 11 real estate professionals and two administrative assistants.

"Professionalism, patience, openness and resourcefulness are those valuable characteristics I tend to look for in a real estate professional and Dominic Naidoo was definitely the right person for me to work with during my search for investment properties. He was always able to fit his schedule into mine and was relentless to obtain all the information I would need for making a purchase decision. He was very thoughtful and straightforward in pointing out issues that could make rental problematic later. After making a purchase in Santa Monica, Dom speedily continued to help me with marketing and leasing the apartment. I would certainly like to work with him again in my search for additional investment properties in the future." -K. Hall, Entomologist.
"I was really lucky to have Dom as my agent. I just purchased my first home, and without the kind of help I received from Dom's team, it would not have been possible. He guided me through every step of the process to ensure that it was as painless and efficient as possible. I'd recommend Dom to anyone!" - Bruce Guido, Producer.
