Every week for my blog customers (also useable for Facebook Business Pages) I send out 2 recommendations -suggested blog topics for the week. This week one of my suggested topics will be challenging your real estate tax assessment.
Why this topic? Why this week?
I just looked at my own tax assessment and I decided to do something to get it changed.
Facebook Business Page or Real Estate Blog Sample Headline
Shocker- Challenging My Assessment Was Easy and Profitable
- I provided comps that were readily available
- I had my assessment reduced 20%
- It took less than 2 hours start to finish
- I’ll save about $2400
Your blog or Facebook Business Page should build your value to your clients and potential clients. A quick post like this works to build value. Help people make or save money and they will like you. They may even send you some business.
Here is what I did.
- Read my assessment letter
- Called the assessors office before the deadline
- Asked the person who answered the phone what I should do if I disagreed with my assessment
- Per the conversation I had with the person in the assessor’s office sent by email 3 comparables for the year prior supporting my case
- Had a phone call and an email back lowering my assessment by approximately 20%
- I celebrated
- Next I thought about what I could do with the information I learned
I hope this will help you personally and with your clients. It may not be so easy in every area but getting real estate taxes lowered is something you should know about, establishes your value and makes you a go to expert.
Make sure you post something like this on your real estate blog or Facebook business page and see the results.
