GKAR Tax Appeal Meeting
On January 22nd at the Greater Kalamazoo Association of REALTORS® will be hosting a presentation by Alan C. Jeffries from Advanced Property Tax Services. Mr. Jeffries will talk about why you would and/or should appeal your property tax, how to appeal and the process involved. This is sure to be a great event. I’ve personally used their services and am happy to say they have saved me thousands of dollars a year. Disputing property taxes is hands down best left to the pros. But understanding the process is equally as important so that you can properly advise your clients. Don’t miss this event!
Breakfast begins at GKAR at 8:30am. Presentation is from 9:00am to 10:30am. RSVP with GKAR

I told them straight up: “Take a deep breath! An expiring rate lock will not ruin your deal, and you will not lose your low rate!”
