The Worldwide ERC® Broker’s Market Analysis and Strategy Report is a tool that assists real estate brokers in evaluating a property’s condition, competition, and potential marketability. By conducting a thorough analysis, brokers can estimate the property’s Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP), which is crucial for guiding sellers and buyers in the real estate market. This report is not an appraisal or home inspection, and it is important to adhere to state-specific disclosure requirements when completing the form.
To begin your analysis, please fill out the form by clicking the button below.
What is the purpose of the ERC Broker Market Analysis form?
The ERC Broker Market Analysis form is designed to help real estate brokers analyze a property’s condition, its competition, and its potential marketability. This analysis leads to an estimation of the property’s Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP). It is important to note that this form is not a home inspection or an appraisal. Instead, it serves as a comparative market analysis and should not be treated as an official appraisal under any circumstances.
What information is required to complete the form?
To complete the ERC Broker Market Analysis form, several key pieces of information are needed. This includes the homeowner's details, property address, and contact information. Additionally, the form requests information about the property’s condition, improvements made, ownership type, and any issues that may affect its insurability or marketability. Details about financing options and neighborhood conditions are also essential to provide a comprehensive analysis.
How does the broker determine the Most Likely Sales Price (MLSP)?
The MLSP is determined based on the property’s current condition and a marketing time frame not exceeding 120 days. Brokers analyze comparable properties, local market trends, and any unique features or issues of the subject property. This thorough examination allows the broker to provide a well-informed estimate of what the property is likely to sell for in the current market.
Are there any specific guidelines for conducting property inspections?
Yes, brokers must adhere to the requesting company’s guidelines when inspecting the property. This includes contacting the homeowner, conducting the inspection, and submitting the report along with any required photographs. It is essential to follow these procedures to ensure that the analysis is accurate and meets all necessary standards.
What should brokers consider regarding the property’s condition?
Brokers should take note of various factors that may affect the property’s condition, such as evidence of water damage, structural issues, or deferred maintenance. They should also assess the interior and exterior conditions, including necessary repairs or improvements. This information is critical for estimating repair costs and understanding how the property compares to others in the market.
What role do neighborhood and market conditions play in the analysis?
Neighborhood and market conditions are vital components of the analysis. Brokers should evaluate the economic climate, property values, and the average days on the market for comparable properties. Understanding these factors helps in determining how the subject property fits within the broader market context and can influence its marketability and pricing strategy.
What are the implications of state-specific disclosure requirements?
Each state may have specific disclosure requirements that brokers must be aware of when completing the form. These requirements can vary significantly, and it is the broker's responsibility to ensure that all necessary disclosures are included in the analysis. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to legal complications and affect the credibility of the market analysis.
The ERC Broker Market Analysis form is a vital document for real estate brokers, aiding them in assessing a property's market position. Along with this form, several other documents can provide a comprehensive overview of the property and its market. Below is a list of related forms and documents frequently used in conjunction with the ERC Broker Market Analysis form.
Using these documents in conjunction with the ERC Broker Market Analysis form can enhance the broker's ability to provide valuable insights to clients. This comprehensive approach not only aids in determining the property's value but also helps in addressing any potential issues that may arise during the selling process.
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 can be a detailed process, and mistakes can lead to significant issues down the line. One common mistake is failing to provide accurate contact information. This includes not only the homeowner's details but also the broker’s contact information. If any of this information is incorrect, it can create confusion and hinder communication.
Another frequent error is neglecting to note the property’s current condition accurately. Brokers should carefully assess and document any visible issues, such as water damage or structural concerns. Omitting this information can mislead potential buyers and affect the property’s marketability.
Some individuals overlook the importance of describing the neighborhood accurately. The form asks for insights about the neighborhood's economic conditions, which can significantly impact property value. If this section is filled out with vague or inaccurate descriptions, it may misrepresent the market conditions to potential buyers.
Inadequate attention to the marketing concessions being offered is another mistake. Brokers should clearly outline any incentives for buyers or brokers in the competing listings section. If this information is missing or unclear, it could lead to missed opportunities for negotiation.
People often fail to check all relevant boxes in the property condition section. Each checkbox corresponds to potential issues that could affect the property’s value. Not marking these can result in a lack of transparency about the property's condition, which may lead to complications later in the selling process.
Additionally, brokers sometimes do not provide a thorough analysis of competing properties. This analysis is crucial for determining a realistic sales price. If brokers skip this step or provide insufficient details, they may end up undervaluing or overvaluing the property.
Another mistake is not including all necessary disclosures. Each state has specific requirements regarding property disclosures, and failing to comply can lead to legal issues. It’s essential to be aware of these requirements and include them in the form.
Some brokers also forget to document any improvements made by the homeowner. This information can be vital for assessing the property’s value and marketability. If improvements are not noted, it could lead to a lower perceived value of the property.
Lastly, neglecting to update the form with recent sales data can be detrimental. The real estate market can change rapidly, and using outdated information may not accurately reflect current market conditions. Keeping this data fresh ensures a more reliable analysis.
By avoiding these common mistakes, brokers can ensure a more accurate and effective market analysis, ultimately benefiting both themselves and their clients.
