I don't charge for CMA's. If it's someone I know who will list with me, the CMA is just part of my services and I get paid at closing. If it's someone who is not ready to sell, I see it as a way of developing a conversation and a relationship. For me it's the mirror image of sending someone listings of new properties coming on the market. And at the end of the day, I always learn something new by doing a CMA, so it's not a total loss or time suck.

I did a free one the other day just out of the goodness of my heart. The man was so grateful ...he offered to pay.  He wanted to pay. I just asked him to pay it forward somehow ... I did not want any fee to help him out.  If they needed an expert to appear in court ... I would then need to charge a fee.

If it is for a listing, never. I have had people call and need one for a divorce, estate or other reason where they offered to pay though becuase they were not selling the home.  I do paid bpos for those. I use it as a marketing opportunity as well to offer a refund if they ever list and sell through me.
