What if you had an expert property analyst available 24/7 to analyze any property, pull relevant comps, and explain exactly why a home is worth what it is?

That is exactly what the AI CMA Agent delivers. It is not just another chatbot - it is a purpose-built assistant trained on our proven 9-Step CMA Playbook methodology that professional appraisers and top-producing agents use every day.

How the AI CMA Agent Works

Give the agent any property address, and watch it work. The agent autonomously gathers data from multiple sources, analyzes comparable sales, checks market conditions, and produces a professional valuation range - all while explaining its reasoning in plain English.

Unlike traditional CMA tools that just dump data on your screen, the AI CMA Agent thinks like an experienced agent. It considers price history to read seller motivation. It looks at listing remarks to decode condition clues. It adjusts for differences in bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and lot size.

The 9-Step Playbook Methodology

Every analysis follows our battle-tested framework:

  • Know Your Listing - Extract specs and understand property implications
  • Read the Motivation - Analyze price history and seller urgency signals
  • Pull the Comps - Search for comparable recent sales
  • Work the Comps - Understand why each comp sold at its price
  • Run the Adjustments - Calculate value differences systematically
  • Check the Condition - Identify red flags and decode listing language
  • Check the Tax Roll - Reality-check with county assessments
  • Form Your Opinion - Synthesize data into a valuation range
  • Build Your Play - Create negotiation strategy with talking points

This is the same methodology used by top-producing agents - now available instantly through AI.

Real-Time Progress Tracking

One of the most requested features was visibility into what the agent is actually doing. The new interface shows four data badges that update in real-time:

  • Property - Details like beds, baths, square footage, and features
  • Comps - Comparable sales found in the area
  • Market - Local market trends and conditions
  • Value - The final valuation calculation

Each badge shows its current state: pending, gathering, or collected. You can see exactly what data the agent has found and track progress as it works through the analysis.

Smart Conversational Interface

The AI CMA Agent understands context. Ask it to analyze a property, and it gets to work. Ask a follow-up question about the comps it found, and it answers based on the data it already gathered. Want to know why it adjusted for that third bedroom? Just ask.

The agent intelligently routes your messages:

  • Full CMA - When you provide an address or ask for analysis
  • Follow-up - When you have questions about existing session data
  • Conversational - When you just want to chat without running analysis

No more starting over when you have a simple question.

Powered by Advanced AI

The CMA Agent is powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google's most advanced AI model with a 2-million token context window. This enables:

  • Deep analysis across extensive property data
  • Comprehensive market context integration
  • Real-time tool calling for live data retrieval from both Redfin AND Zillow

This architecture provides cost-effective, high-quality analysis by combining intelligent caching with targeted API calls, ensuring you get accurate data without unnecessary overhead.

New: Market Intelligence Features

We have supercharged the AI CMA Agent with four powerful new capabilities that transform it from good analysis to "better than my broker's CMAs":

Market Pulse

The agent no longer just shows you what sold - it shows you what is happening right now. For every analysis, you get:

  • Sold (30 days) - Recent closed sales with avg $/sqft and DOM
  • Pending - Properties under contract getting offers NOW
  • Active - Current competition on the market
  • Absorption Rate - Months of inventory to gauge seller's vs buyer's market

This real-time pulse gives you context that historical-only CMAs simply cannot provide.

Market Temperature Score

No more guessing whether it is a hot market. The agent calculates a 0-100 temperature score and classifies the market as:

  • 🔥 Hot (75-100) - Expect competition, move fast
  • ☀️ Warm (60-74) - Active market, reasonable offers accepted
  • ⚖️ Neutral (40-59) - Balanced, room to negotiate
  • 🌤️ Cool (25-39) - Buyer-friendly, negotiate confidently
  • ❄️ Cold (0-24) - Buyer's market, ask for everything

One number, instant clarity.

Buyer Affordability Calculator

Price recommendations are meaningless without payment context. The agent now automatically:

  • Pulls current mortgage rates from Zillow
  • Calculates full PITI (Principal, Interest, Tax, Insurance)
  • Shows payments at both list price AND your recommended offer
  • Highlights monthly savings from negotiating

Buyers see exactly what they will pay each month - making your recommendation tangible and actionable.

Offer Strategy Engine

This is the wow factor. The agent generates tactical offer recommendations:

  • Opening Offer - Where to start based on market temp, DOM, and condition
  • Maximum Offer - Your walk-away ceiling
  • Escalation Clause - Whether to use one and at what increments
  • Leverage Points - Exact phrases to use in negotiations
  • Contingency Guidance - When to shorten, when to hold firm
  • Timing Recommendation - When to submit for maximum impact

This is what separates good CMAs from great ones - actionable tactics, not just valuations.

Professional Export Options

Once the agent completes its analysis, you have multiple ways to share your findings:

  • PDF Report - Branded, presentation-ready document
  • Share Link - Secure temporary link (30-day expiry)
  • Email - Send summary directly to clients

Every export includes your branding, the full analysis, and supporting data.

Getting Started

The AI CMA Agent is available now for all CMAForge subscribers. Simply navigate to the Agent tab and enter any property address to begin your first AI-assisted analysis.

Pro tip: Start with a property you know well. Compare the agent's analysis to your own mental valuation. You might be surprised how closely they align - and you might learn a few new tricks along the way.
