Listing with Us : Following is the recipe for success in marketing your property!

We at CM Realty feel that in today's global marketplace it is extremely important to ensure your property has the best international exposure possible so that you will receive optimum value for your real estate investment.  If you are thinking about selling, your first step is to see what your property is worth.  If you would like us to prepare a Brokers Price Opinion for you at no charge just click here.  After you have an idea what your property should sell for then it is time to interview Agents to represent you.  A few questions you may ask agents are.

Do you provide Virtual Tours?
You can find our tours here. 

Do Open Houses really sell homes?
I have yet to sell the house that I am doing the open house in.  It is mainly a way for Agents to find buyers.
 
How do you insure that buyers are qualified?
All offers must be accompanied by a letter of quallification.

How will you make the transaction a smooth process?
Experience and the right team to get you through closing will make all the difference in the world.

How do you market properties?
One of the tools we employ that offers global exposure is our comprehensive web site presence. Our site here at www.CentralMontanaRealty is being improved on a daily basis. We intend this site to include information on area hospitals, schools (as well as educational statistics), Montana State University, local recreational opportunities, demographics and of course complete real estate information on Montana.

CM Realty is also a regular advertiser in “Montana Land Magazine” This magazine offers international exposure for all the listings included within its pages as well as optimum exposure on its high traffic website (http://www.montanalandmagazine.com).





Buyers Services

If you are just getting started in the process of buying Real Estate, your first step it to contact a lender to see just what kind of property you are qualified to buy.  With every offer the Buyer should include a letter of qualification from a lender or personal banker.  If you don't have a lender, you may start looking here.

Once you have the preapproval, you can start looking.  If you would like to look for your self you can start here.  If you would like to let us search and send you properties as they come onto the market you can fill out this form and we will start sending you properties right away.  We will also make a personal page where you can sort through the listings sent to you and keep track of your favorites.

We are active members of the Billings Association of Realtors, Lewistown Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and the Montana Association of Realtors, as well as the Billings Multiple Listing Service. As members we can electronically access all properties currently listed in our service area. This enables us to provide accurate and current information on listings that meet the customers criteria. We work very hard to provide our buyers with timely information on new listing so that clients have the earliest opportunity possible to place an offer. Our memberships also help our sellers make their properties available on our Multiple Listing network which is one of the most valuable toos for selling your property.

  • At CM Realty it is our goal to educate our clients on the real estate process. We regularly release fliers on issues such as "safety in showing your home" for For Sale By Owners, "how to prepare your home for sale" and "the importance of pricing in today's marketplace".

 A word from the Broker January 2009

Spring is almost here and things are looking up as far as Billings Real Estate.

The market seems to have taken off.  Many properties are suddenly moving.  I have seen numerous properties hit the market and sell within the first week.  There is no secret, they just have to be priced right.  It seems to me that there are a lot of not so great properties on the market that are over priced.  In the last two weeks I have been working with a buyer in the $160,000 - $190,000 range and there were only 3-4 really nice homes in that price range.  There were a lot of short sales and lender owned that were in that range and I fee they should be in the $130,000 to $150,000.  No one is going to pay market for a home that needs all new flooring and paint.

In February 82 homes closed as compared to 163 last year.  Unemployment is still at 3.5% which it was 3.2% last August.  The mine near Roundup looks to be taking off.  There is a lot of new commercial construction going on.  I think we are good for now.

Have a great month.
