Assessment Appeals
Does your client's home assessment
seem high? Did you know property owners have the right
to appeal assessments? The importance of the assessment
appeals process often goes overlooked by homeowners. The
assessed value does not mirror the market value of a
property. New home owners in Chester and Delaware
Counties have seen their property assessments lowered anywhere
from a few thousand dollars up to and possibly more than
$100,000 through the assessment appeals
process.

Discussion
Question
Each month, the Suburban West
REALTORS Association will provide Association Liaisons with a
question in which we are seeking member feedback
on. We urge you to discuss this question with
agents at your office during a sales meeting, through an
email, or during the course of your daily conversations when
appropriate.
This MONTH's
Question:
In preparation for the
upcoming Liaison Invitational event, we would like to ask the
Association Liaisons as to why they think they were the one
approached by their office manager for this
role?
