The Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report is a tool designed for real estate brokers to perform a detailed evaluation of a property's condition, its competition, and its potential marketability in the future. Its main goal is to estimate the Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) of the subject property, based on its current state and expected market conditions within a 120-day selling period. This document is neither a home inspection nor an appraisal, but rather a comprehensive market analysis that should meet certain disclosure requirements unique to each state.
In today's complex and ever-evolving real estate market, the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report stands out as a critical tool for real estate brokers diligently analyzing a property's condition, competition, and its future marketability. It provides a comprehensive framework for brokers to estimate the most likely sales price (MLSP) of a property based on its "as is" condition and expected marketing time, which should not exceed 120 days to contract of sale, or as directed by the client. Notably, this report is distinct from a home inspection or appraisal and does not adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, serving instead as a specialized comparative market analysis. It also emphasizes the importance of state-specific disclosure requirements, procedural guidelines for property inspection, report submission, and the presentation of photographic evidence, alongside crucial information about the property, its improvements, and listing status. The form meticulously outlines conditions affecting a property's insurability, locational attributes, and necessary repairs or improvements, financial considerations including financing options and potential issues affecting loan approval, and broader market dynamics that might impact the property’s marketability. Through this detailed approach, the ERC Broker Market Analysis form equips real estate professionals with the insights needed to navigate property sales in a structured and informed manner.
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.

Filling out the ERC Broker Market Analysis form is a detailed process that requires attention and diligence from real estate brokers. This form is crucial for assessing the property's condition, competition in the market, and its future marketability. The ultimate goal is to estimate the property's Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) considering its current state and expected time to sell. Before beginning, it's essential to gather all required information about the property, including any state-specific disclosures, and to adhere to the requesting company's procedural guidelines.
Accurately completing this form involves thorough research and analysis to ensure that the Most Likely Sales Price is reflective of the property's current state and market conditions. By methodically filling out each section, you lay a solid groundwork for estimating the property's value and strategize for its marketing.
What is the main purpose of the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report?
The Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report serves the purpose of assisting real estate brokers in conducting a detailed examination of a property's condition, competition, and marketability in the future. The aim is to estimate the property's Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) by analyzing it based on its present condition and its potential to sell within a period not exceeding 120 days under a contractual agreement, as per the directives of the client.
Is this ERC Broker’s Market Analysis considered an appraisal?
No, the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis is not considered an appraisal. Although it performs a comparative market analysis, it does not adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Therefore, it should not be interpreted as an appraisal and is not intended for use as one for any purpose.
What kind of information does the broker need to provide in this form?
The broker is required to furnish comprehensive details about the subject property including, but not limited to, homeowner information, property improvements, current listing status, form of ownership, and type of occupancy. Furthermore, it encompasses a meticulous scrutiny of the property’s condition, noting any locational issues, the presence of maintenance issues, potential environmental concerns, and required repairs or improvements. The form also seeks to document information on the subject neighborhood, financing options considered probable for the subject, and comparable sales data within the same or similar market area.
Are there state-specific disclosure requirements that need to be included in the form?
Yes, the preparers of the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report must be cognizant of and include any state-specific disclosure requirements that apply. This ensures that the analysis is not only comprehensive but also compliant with the regulations and disclosure norms that may vary from one state to another.
What guidelines are to be followed for conducting the property inspection and submitting the report?
Brokers who prepare the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report must follow the procedural guidelines set out by the requesting company. These procedures include the steps for contacting the homeowner, inspecting the property, submitting the completed report, and providing photos. Following these guidelines helps ensure that the information gathered and provided in the report meets the specific standards and requirements of the requesting party.
Filling out the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report requires attention to detail and a comprehensive understanding of the property in question, as well as the current real estate market. Mistakes in filling out this form can lead to inaccuracies that affect the estimated Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP) and overall marketability of the property. Here are six common mistakes people make when completing this form:
Providing Inaccurate Property Information: Incorrectly listing the property's details, such as the type of home, improvements made, or failing to check off applicable characteristics like location type or lot characteristics, can significantly skew the analysis.
Overlooking Required Disclosures: Each state may have specific disclosure requirements that must be included in this form. Failing to acknowledge or include these disclosures can not only affect the form's accuracy but also lead to legal issues.
Underestimating the Importance of Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): Not performing a thorough comparative market analysis, or misunderstanding the selected comparables, can lead to an unrealistic MLSP. This section requires careful selection of comparable properties and an understanding of how their attributes affect their valuation.
Not Adequately Describing the Property’s Condition: The condition of the property, including any damage, repairs, or improvements needed, must be accurately reported. Overlooking or underreporting issues can mislead the analysis, affecting the property’s valuation and marketability.
Miscalculating Marketing and Selling Timeframes: Unrealistically estimating the time it will take to market and sell the property can lead to strategic missteps. This timeframe affects pricing strategies and marketing efforts.
Ignoring Potential Financing Issues: Failing to anticipate and describe potential financing issues for buyers can overlook an essential factor in the saleability of the property. Whether it’s the type of financing most likely to be secured or potential hurdles in securing financing, these details can significantly impact the transaction.
When completing the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report, it's crucial to:
Verify all the provided information for accuracy.
Ensure thorough and realistic comparative and competitive market analyses.
Accurately depict the property's condition and marketability factors.
Consider the potential financing avenues and challenges for buyers.
Adhere to state-specific disclosure requirements.
Understand and accurately estimate market conditions, including selling and marketing timeframes.
Avoiding these mistakes will help ensure a more accurate and effective market analysis, leading to better strategic decisions for the sale of the property.
When dealing with the intricacies of real estate transactions, especially those involving relocation, the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report is a crucial piece of documentation. However, to ensure a comprehensive understanding and smooth processing of property transactions, several other forms and documents are often used in conjunction with this report. Each plays a significant role in painting a full picture of the property’s situation, marketability, and value.
Together, these documents work alongside the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report to ensure all parties are well-informed and agreed-upon terms are met with transparency. For anyone navigating a relocation or real estate transaction, understanding these documents can provide clarity and confidence through each step of the process.
The Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is one document that shares similarities with the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report. Both documents aim to provide an accurate estimate of a property's market value based on the analysis of comparable sales, property condition, and current market trends. While the ERC form is specifically designed for relocation assessments, a CMA is commonly used by real estate agents to help homeowners determine a realistic selling price for their property when listing it on the market.
An Appraisal Report is another document bearing a resemblance to the ERC form in its purpose of estimating a property's value. However, unlike the ERC form, an appraisal is conducted by a licensed appraiser and follows the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Appraisal reports are often required by lenders to determine the amount of a loan. Both documents involve inspections and comparisons of similar properties, but an appraisal is considered a more formal and legally binding assessment.
The Pre-listing Inspection Report also shares common features with the ERC form, particularly in the evaluation of a property's condition. Both documents require a thorough inspection of the property and note any repairs or improvements that may affect its value. While the Pre-listing Inspection Report focuses more on identifying issues that a seller should address before listing the property, the ERC form combines this assessment with market analysis to advise on the most likely sales price.
The Home Equity Report can be seen as similar to the ERC’s Broker Market Analysis form in that both are used to assess the value of real estate. Home equity reports typically provide homeowners or lenders with a current estimate of the property's worth in relation to outstanding mortgage balances, often for refinancing or securing a home equity loan. While serving different end purposes, both documents rely on an understanding of the property’s condition and its standing in the current market to project value.
When completing the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report, there are several do's and don'ts to ensure the analysis is thorough, accurate, and provides valuable insights into the property's marketability and probable sales price. Below are critical points to consider:
Understanding the Worldwide ERC® Broker's Market Analysis and Strategy Report requires clarity on its purpose and limitations. Misconceptions surrounding this form can lead to improper use and expectations. Here are nine common misunderstandings:
Clearing up these misconceptions ensures the ERC Broker Market Analysis and Strategy Report is utilized effectively, providing valuable insights into a property's marketability and pricing strategy.
Filling out and using the Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report requires attention to detail and an understanding of real estate market trends. This document plays a pivotal role in estimating a property's Most Likely Sales Price based on its condition, competition, and future marketability. Here are 8 key takeaways for efficiently handling the report:
