April 22nd, 2010Categories: Georgia Mountain Real Estate VIEWS

More than 60 percent of U.S. homes are “over-assessed”, says an industry trade group. Homeowners in Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Ellijay and Hiawassee pay more in property taxes than they otherwise should have to.  You might be one of them.

Have you considered fighting your real estate tax bill?

In this 4-minute piece from The Today Show, you’ll learn:

• When to file your tax bill dispute for the best chances of winning
• How to pull your “property card” and check for tax bill-raising errors
• What to do if the taxing authority turns down your request

Most importantly, you’ll learn that don’t need to hire an attorney to fight your tax bill.  You just need to be prepared.  Do your research and make your case. It’s estimated that nearly half of all contesting homeowners are successful.

I have asked a good friend and business associate Byron Wyndham of  J. Byron Wyndham and Associates Attorneys at Law to work with me in providing my readers with weekly advice on Real Estate Law in the North Georgia Mountains.

 

J. Byron Wyndham is an attorney with over 25 years experience in Georgia real estate law. He has represented buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and lenders within his practice. A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Virginia, he began his practice in 1973. He has endeavored to work with all parties required in the purchase of a new home with a professional and understanding attitude and demeanor.

 

 Although I have asked Byron to share with my readers advice on Real Estate Law, Byron thought it best that he break into the blogosphere with what he feels is his favorite time of year in the North Georgia Mountains. I told him I would let it slide just this one time, next time I would have to fire him! Byron truly does have a passion for mountain living, and he like so many, feels very fortunate to be able to work and live in such a beautiful place. Byron is seldom seen around town without a big ol’ smile on his face. I hope you enjoy his prelude to what I am sure will be very valuable information in his weekly real estate tips and advice in future posts on the Porch.

It’s Cold, It’s Wet, It’s Gray….It’s Perfect!

 Many people do not come to the mountains in the winter. They think it would be like going to Buffalo and being stuck in the ultimate experience of cold and the snow. They are sure that they would get snowed in, lose heat, electricity and not be able to get out and go home. They believe the perfect time to visit the mountains is in the spring, summer and fall when all is green or colorful. Read the rest of this entry »
