A list of comparable sales is not a pricing story your client can follow.

A comparative market analysis is usually a table of addresses and sold prices. The agent understands it; the seller does not, because what they need is a short explanation of why those comps point to a number, in words they can read without decoding a spreadsheet.

I built CMANarrative to turn pasted comps and a subject property into a plain-English pricing story worth reviewing.

30-second takeaway

  • A table of comps is evidence, not an explanation; the seller still needs the story.
  • The narrative is the slow, skipped step, even though it is what gets understood.
  • A hint is a hint — not a valuation someone should sign off on.

Why the table is not the story

Comps only make sense once someone explains which differences matter: a finished basement, a busy street, a sale that closed six months ago. Left as raw rows, the seller fills the gaps with their own expectations, and the agent's real work — interpretation — is what is hard to dash off between appointments.

What a readable CMA narrative contains

A usable draft gives a price rationale from the comps, a comp-by-comp read, seller-facing wording to review, and a listing-price hint. The hint follows the strategy you pick, so it is a starting position, not a verdict, and a person still owns the final conversation.

What the tool does

Paste 3-5 comparable sales and the subject property into CMANarrative and it drafts a plain-English narrative: a price rationale from the comps, a comp-by-comp read, seller-facing wording to review, and a listing-price hint that is not an appraisal. It does not pull an MLS. CMANarrative works only from the notes you paste.

FAQ

Is this a licensed appraisal?

No. It is not an appraisal, does not pull an MLS, and makes no promise the home will sell at the hinted price. When you need a licensed appraisal or an MLS or CRM sync, use a qualified professional. Qualified human review applies.

What do I paste in, and what comes out?

You paste 3-5 comparable sales and the subject. You get a plain-English narrative, a comp-by-comp read, seller-facing wording, and a listing-price hint.

Does it connect to my MLS or CRM?

No. It reads only the notes you paste and produces a draft to review.
