Are you Overpaying Your Taxes?

Are you Overpaying Your Taxes?

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to our video blog. By now, all of you should have received an envelope from the Collier County Tax Collector’s office.

It is not a bill, but rather a notice of what your taxes should be. If you look at the notice, it gives the market value for your home from both 2012 and 2013.

If that value doesn’t seem right and you think you might be overpaying, give the Saad Team a call. We would be more than happy to do a free market analysis on your home!

If your home value is incorrect, you are able to file a petition with the Collier County Value Adjustment Board. The deadline to file is September 10th, so don’t wait to call us and get a market value!

We also invite you to visit the Collier County Tax Collector’s website. If you have questions about the amount you need to pay or if you find an error on your bill, this site is designed to help with all of your questions.

If you have any other questions about real estate, please give us a call!

Home Inspections

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to our video blog.

We get a lot of questions from our clients about home inspections. Well, first, congratulations on buying or selling your home!

Home inspections can be stressful for both the buyer and the seller. There is a sales contract that outlines specific requirements, but sometimes that can be muddled. Buyers want to know what they can ask to be done and sellers want to know what they have to fix.

When an inspector finds something not up to standards, he is required to report it. As a seller, you do have the right to decide not to fix it, however, anything the inspector finds needs to be disclosed to all other buyers, as well. So, you can take the chance of losing your current buyer, and hope to find a buyer who will accept the home as is or you can make the repairs.

If you have any other questions about home inspections or are ready to buy or sell, please give me a call at 239.595.8500. The Saad Team would love to help you.
