Did you visit the Franklin County website and think you’d missed their deadline to challenge your recent assessment? So did thousands of others.

I dug a bit further and discovered that the county simply wasn’t forthcoming about the 2-part opportunity: an informal review and the formal review.

There IS still time to challenge your recent assessment.

Call me to see if your home will qualify. 614-565-3924.

Has the auditor determined that your home value has increased significantly? A professional appraisal will identify the actual value of your home and may help you dispute the auditor assessment, lowering your taxed value.

Have you been inside of one?

The 1916 Sears catalog home…..

They shipped the entire house to you by railroad car. Sears was like Ikea before Ikea.

Friends and family would come from all around to help the owner build it.

Sears sold more than 70,000 mail-order homes between 1908 and 1940. Some enthusiasts
estimate that about 70% of Sears houses are still standing today.

Sears provided building plans and specifications, along with the lumber and any other materials
needed. The shipment included everything from nails, screws, and paint to prebuilt building parts, such as staircases and dining nooks.

Have you ever seen someone taking a picture of your home, or your neighbor’s home, from the car?

Hi. It’s me. Your neighborhood appraiser.

I am required by the bank/lemder to take real life pictures of similar homes that have sold in the area, within the last year. I use those as one part of my process to determine the value of an appraisal I’m working on.

I am also required to take pictures up and down the street where homes reside to capture a neighborhood view.

Generally, we avoid taking comparable photos with people in the background, but on occassion, with a busy street or during active times of the day, it can be challenging. We do our best.

Here’s what to do:

✅ Ask yourself if your home, or someone else’s, has sold in the last year. That cameraman is likely not a creeper, but an appraiser.
✅ Ask him/her what they do for a living before threatening, showing a weapon, throwing something at them or calling the police. They’ll gladly tell you who they are and what they are doing, peacefully.
✅ Thank them for providing checks and balances in our society.

Summer is “busy season” when most houses are for sale so you’ll see us more frequently right now.

Please share this with your neighbors to be on the lookout.

At the vet today, I ran into 2 pets named Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. Well played mortgage friends!

We see some really interesting decor.

While the condition of your walls can have an impact on your value, what whatever you have hanging from them, does not.

And that’s no load of crap.
