jack stapleton: Zillow Data Error - as reported by Jack Stapleton Jr. - 03/10/10 04:50 PM
Hello All,
I am sure all you know Zillow very well.  Some Agents love it and some dont.  I really have no opinion other than they are a tool.  ;)
Anyway, I got a call on my cell phone this afternoon from a buyer who wanted to know about a property that I had listed.  I of course thanked her for the call and asked her the address.  She told me the address was 2424 Falcon in Round Rock.  I paused for a few seconds.  2424 Falcon?  I never had anything listed on Falcon.  In fact the street does not ring … (0 comments)

jack stapleton: Bye Bye Google.. HELLO Bing! - 08/11/09 10:55 PM

jack stapleton: New and safer way for Texas Realtors to help clients fight appaisal district. - 06/05/09 12:57 AM
The MLS has a new feature in the REALIST portion.  It has a mini CMA feature that has a disclaimer that was built to help you fight the appraisal district for your clients.  WHEN YOU SUBMIT A CMA to the appraisal district, they USE YOUR CMA to establish the next years VALUES for the homes you used as COMPS.  Texas is a NON DISCLOSURE state, and when you submit the information in a CMA form to the APPRAISAL district, you have then DISCLOSED the sales prices, and they USE THEM.
This new feature in the tax records prohibits them from using … (0 comments)
