Follow

These guides will walk you through each step for a full CMA Packet Presentation. You have the choice to use the sections that you need on any particular CMA.

The first step in creating your CMA using the CMA Wizard, is to click CMA on the toolbar and then click Create Presentation.

This is where you:

  • Name your presentation
  • Create your subject property
  • Assign a client to this CMA

A. Presentation Name: Enter the name for your CMA presentation; e.g. the property sellers’ name. Click Continue. Now your “wizard” buttons on the top right are activated.

B. Subject Property: enter property details for the subject property. Options are:

  • Create New Subject Property: start with a blank listing input form and add listing data to do your CMA.
  • Load a Subject Property: use a Subject Property already in your Paragon.
  • Use an Existing MLS Listing: use a listing already in Paragon.

Click Save to save your work.

Note: Save your CMA frequently to preserve your work.

To create a CMA using a new subject property: Click Create New Subject Property.
