    How Can AI Help Write a CMA Narrative?

    A clear CMA narrative should explain your reasoning without hiding differences between properties. AI can organize your notes after you select and verify the evidence. A repeatable process helps you spend less time fixing vague drafts. The goal is a useful first version that stays within your role and gives you a clear review path.

    Step-by-Step

    1. 1

      Prepare the comparison evidence

      Build a de-identified table of the subject and selected comparable properties using information you are permitted to use. Include relevant dates, condition notes, features, and your own adjustment reasoning. Distinguish recorded facts from your professional interpretation. Do not ask the tool to find missing sales or invent a value range from a street name. Keep this work separate from your live client systems until you have checked it. Record what you changed and why, so the next draft follows the same standard. If the tool adds an unsupported detail, remove it rather than trying to make it sound more convincing.

    2. 2

      Ask for a bounded explanation

      Request a short narrative that explains why each comparison matters and where it differs from the subject. Require the draft to use only the supplied table and flag missing context. Have the tool avoid unsupported claims about demand, future prices, or what a buyer will pay. Keep any price conclusion under your own control. Keep this work separate from your live client systems until you have checked it. Record what you changed and why, so the next draft follows the same standard. If the tool adds an unsupported detail, remove it rather than trying to make it sound more convincing.

    3. 3

      Audit every comparison statement

      Read the draft beside the original comparison table and check each number, date, and description. Remove language that turns your interpretation into an established fact. Confirm that any proposed range reflects your analysis rather than a model suggestion. Keep the explanation suitable for a client conversation and distinct from a formal appraisal. Keep this work separate from your live client systems until you have checked it. Record what you changed and why, so the next draft follows the same standard. If the tool adds an unsupported detail, remove it rather than trying to make it sound more convincing.

    A Worked Example

    Hypothetical example: An agent has verified three comparable sales for a Malvern home. AI organizes the differences into a readable explanation, while the agent corrects a condition comparison and retains control of the pricing opinion.

    Common Questions

    You should select and verify the comparisons using your professional process. A model can help organize approved notes, but it should not silently decide which properties are relevant. Use a limited draft first and check it against your approved source material. If you cannot verify part of the answer, leave that point out or label it as an open question for human review.

    Do not accept unsupported adjustments generated by a model. Supply your own reasoning and review any arithmetic independently before including it in a client-facing explanation. Use a limited draft first and check it against your approved source material. If you cannot verify part of the answer, leave that point out or label it as an open question for human review.

    Name the limits of the available comparisons and separate your opinion from recorded facts. Avoid language that promises a sale price or treats an estimate as a guarantee. Use a limited draft first and check it against your approved source material. If you cannot verify part of the answer, leave that point out or label it as an open question for human review.
