Learn how you can provide value to clients in a down market.   Keep your name and high degree of professionalism top-of-mind with your clients and help them achieve real savings on their property tax bill by appealing their value to reflect the true fair market value.
Did you know that if a home sells for less than tax valuation or if the real value falls below the county Auditor’s assessment, the client can save money on their taxes?
This class will instruct you on the process of property tax reduction.  You will be able to provide real value to your clients by advising them of the procedures that are available to them.
