I’ll also add value I’ve seen she adds from a buyers perspective:
-she has access to a lot of off market listings via her networks. Sellers will somethings keep things off market so that when they sell, the tax base stays relatively the same - the appraisers don’t see a sale in the official pipeline
-my wife also is really good at sending bespoke letters to target homes of folks not yet willing to sell. She’ll ID a group of homes in the buyers range, send them letters, and usually gets a 5%+ response rate. These are from folks who wouldn’t have sold otherwise
- sjg007 8y ago"the appraisers don’t see a sale in the official pipeline" huh? tax appraisals are based on recent sold values.. not MSRP pending. You have to record the sale with the county to transfer the property so there's no way to escape the ta x man.
- singlow 8y agoYou dont have to disclose the price paid, at least in Texas. They'll ask but its optional.
- planteen 8y agoThat's not typical in the western US. Most western states have a public recording of the sale price and often the amount financed held at the county recorder. There can be a small tax (on the order of 0.1%) levied by the county that is a percentage of sale price.
