Property Tax Appeals - Long Beach Homes For Sale



Long Beach Homes For Sale



Within the last couple of weeks, your clients should have received their Property Value Notice from the county assessor's office. This notice indicates the assessed value that the property taxes will be based on for the 2011-2012 tax year.



If the assessed value of the property is greater than the market value, the homeowner can appeal the property value assessment.



In many cases, the county assessor's office has already reduced the assessed value of properties that have declined in value. However, many properties may still have assessed values greater than the market value. Even if the assessor has reduced the assessment, if the homeowner is not satisfied with the new assessed value, believing that the assessment is still above market value, the homeowner still has the option to appeal the assessment.

Established in 2003 LB Homes For Sale started off with years of experience in Retail & Wholesale Home Loans. This knowledge has given our clients an edge over working with Realtors that have no lending background. So many times we have spoken to new clients that were disillusioned by other Realtors that promised them the ability to qualify for their dream home based on loan programs to them that no longer exist. "Knowing the lending process from point A to Z, I can help my clients know what questions to ask and what to look out for when dealing with obtaining a loan. Many times I have saved my clients thousands of dollars by having me in their corner" - Ricardo The Realtor.



Constantly being exposed to the City of Long Beach is our job. Let our experience help you reach your Real Estate goals today. "Transitioning over to the real estate arena has been a great experience because I deal with homebuyers directly and I can build a lifetime relationship with them and their families" - Ricardo The Realtor.
