For those of you that attended our January 2019 Lunch and Learn you got a bunch of information about property taxes. How they are calculated, what the assessor looks at, how to dispute them, and so much more. I realized after the event we needed a little property tax math 101, so I made this video with the intent to give real estate agents the knowledge and skill to calculate what property taxes will be on a property after the sale. Check it out and if you have any questions by all means give us a call! 269-488-9494
