RE/MAX Aquila: accurate pricing with our property valuations
When looking for a property data solution, Emmanuel Capuano, broker at RE/MAX Aquila, followed the benchmark of RE/MAX Portugal and adopted CASAFARI as the agency’s first property data software. The platform allows RE/MAX Aquila to run accurate property valuations in minutes, defend asking-price strategies with comparable properties, and secure vendor mandates. As Capuano notes: “after a year of using it, we couldn’t do without it”.
How does RE/MAX Aquila use property valuations to measure the market?
The biggest advantage that Emmanuel saw in using CASAFARI is the possibility of running complete and accurate property valuations. The competitiveness of the market requires accurate asking prices that will speed up the sales, something that can be found in minutes with our Property Valuation.
The fierce competition in the market requires agencies to justify their estimates on the basis of concrete, accurate and exhaustive data. Our Property Valuation solution becomes an asset for speeding up the transaction cycle by drawing on selected comparables and thus defending the pricing strategy proposed by the agent.
CASAFARI’s valuation reports take into account both the location and the characteristics of a property to determine which are its closest competitors and find its fair market value (learn how to create a valuation report). It is all completed in very few steps, saving hours of looking at numbers and comparing different real estate manually.
The right pricing will help your clients optimise transaction times while selling at the best price and you to enhance your commissions, as well as making the property to seem interesting rather than questionable to potential buyers.
How CASAFARI’s market analysis helps estate agents sell more and faster
How do valuation reports help win vendor mandates?
The valuation reports generated by CASAFARI also enable RE/MAX Aquila to draw on a wide range of data, such as the list of selected comparable properties and precise market indicators (average time on the market, average asking prices, points of interest, etc.) to support the negotiation of the best terms of agency with their vendor clients.
But the question that remains is: are these numbers enough for convincing clients? According to Emmanuel Capuano, they are: “When we take on a mandate, the studies presented to clients have a real impact on their decision”, he states.
And that’s exactly what CASAFARI is for: improving the everyday work of real estate professionals to boost their businesses and enable more deals. We’re glad to be able to do it for you and for RE/MAX Aquila as well, Emmanuel.
If, like RE/MAX Aquila, you want to walk into a listing appointment with a price you can defend, CASAFARI’s Valuation & Market Study gives you the comparables and market indicators to do it in minutes.
