suzanne hinton: Be Sure You Know What The School Boundary Is For Your Overland Park KS Home Not Just For This Year - 08/02/11 09:31 AM
The Shawnee Mission School District  is gearing up again for a new school year.  However, this will be the last school season for several Overland Park KS schools in the District.  The next school season will bring changes to several future students and their families with the change in which school's their Overland Park KS home address is located.

suzanne hinton: Is My Overland Park KS Home's Tax Assessed Value The Same As What I Can Sell My Home For? - 07/31/11 11:08 AM
I recently filed an appeal on my home's tax assessed value.   When I went in to the Johnson County Kansas tax appraiser's office to present my evidence of  my appeal, I happened to ask the representative if they were experiencing a large number of appeals.  Interestingly, he indicated not as many as you would think  given the significant number of home values declining when placed on the open market for sale. 
BUT...a large number of those that had appealed their most recent real estate tax assessments were appealing NOT to get their assessed values lowered but to get their values increased.   Why would … (0 comments)

suzanne hinton: Is Your Home Ready To Go On The Market For Sale? You May Want To Think Again - 07/28/11 07:34 AM
You HAVE to lay the groundwork for getting your home ready before putting it on the market. It used to be that I did not have to have heart to heart conversations with my Sellers before listing their home about the little things that they still needed to take care of inside and/or outside their home before putting their home on the market.  Folks, those days are gone!
