mckinney: Dallas Area Property Valuations Going out - 04/07/08 02:02 PM
Please keep an eye out for your new Property Tax valuations in the mail.  They'll be going out the week of May 5.  It's very important to look at this document and make sure there are no problems.  I am currently working with some home owners who just found out that they've been assessed with a pool, and they don't have a pool.  They've been in the house for 30 years, and who knows when the pool was added to the documents, but even if it's $10k high because of this error, that's a lot over 30 years.

mckinney: Dallas and Collin County Tax Appraisals are Out - 05/07/07 04:45 PM
Ok, I hope you've checked your mail!  Tax Assessments for 2007 have gone out.  You have until May 31, 2007 to dispute your values.  I have already received several emails from people asking about their values.

mckinney: Thanks, Active Rain, 8% Listing!! - 01/23/07 02:43 PM
I received a call a couple of weeks ago from a home owner asking for a listing appointment.  Her home is currently listed on the market, and she's in a city further north than what I usually take listings in, so I asked her how she found me... THANK YOU ACTIVE RAIN!
I also asked her if she thought the house hadn't sold because of the agent, or because of the house.  She asked what I meant about it being the house's fault.  I asked some leading questions, and it looks like it is partially the house's fault for it not selling, … (22 comments)
