Did you appeal you tax assessment? If you didn't you're wrong. Appeal and you'll learn.

You are wrong again. I spent an hour on the phone speaking with the county assessor himself. He knew every detail about my house and my assessment was not going to change. We had a very civil conversation about my assessment and other real estate issues.

I'm 100% right. The county assessor has no interest in lowering your taxes. It's not about the details of your house. It's comparable sales and how they're taxed. This is first hand experience. I've done it myself 3 or 4 times. I usually get them lowered or at least stay the same. Can't tell me I'm wrong when I've done it.

I studied to be an attorney, was a broker for 15 years and have/had 2 lawyers in the family and know a boatload of others. Just because this "was" a real estate centric forum doesn't mean anyone knows shit about it. I do.

Except pretty much everything you declare to be universal truth is based upon your experiences in DumFuq, Rural Illinois.

Not always. Sometimes you catch yourself and add a provisons like 'Dunno about Dipshit California, but in my neck of the woods...'. Which is great. But your default is not that mode.

Relevance to this? In other states, success in appealing property tax assessments have different results. From harder to easier relative to your local WookieMan space time continuum.

This time HeadSet could also be guilty of the same thing, too. Sometimes I am.

But YOU, Wookie are the Poster Boy when it comes to this, hands down.

How? I am talking about my own area, not anyone else's.

Of course it is about the details. Details like number of rooms, square footage, number of baths, and size of garage all come into play. If one gets a permit and adds a finished room in a basement the assessment the following year will be increased. Such details, along with location, are used for that market comparison with other houses.

was a broker for 15 years

A broker? I thought you said previously that you worked some administrative non-selling position in a Real Estate firm. In my area, when someone claims to be a real estate broker, it means they are a licensed professional who has taken education beyond the agent level as required by state laws and passed a broker’s license exam. So, you are in fact a person who has passed the Illinois broker's exam and supervised agents for 15 years?

Yes, I was licensed for almost 20 years. Not a big office but managed up to 15 agents. Non-sales position on my end except for friends and family. I was marketing, stats (market analysis), CRM data, photos, MLS entry and accounting.

I ran the business because my boss was an idiot mimbo (male bimbo) sales person. Sold probably 2k houses in that time though. Rented probably 700 apartments.

I'd have to get caught up, but getting the license was extremely easy for me. Hindsight is 20/20, because once I realize most agents didn't pass the agent/broker test the first time I realized how stupid the industry was and is still. My CE tests were the same every year and just had to get 75%. People would fail those. We're talking true/false type stuff with wording trying to confuse.

I've sat at a table with Gary Keller multiple times (Keller Williams Realty) down in Austin and other top producers. Did probably 20 visits down to Austin. I hate that city as well.

I know real estate and the inner workings extremely well. I could easily make $300-500k working a bigger office now, but I can't stand idiots. Mortgage brokers, agents, attorneys, inspectors, etc. Plus I have 3 kids and the wife makes that much. A mostly stay at home father is exponentially better for boys at least over moms. Can't speak about daughters in that situation.

Don't worry about the layoffs. There's gonna be a helluva lot less kids in the classrooms. The kids'll be sent back to their shit hole countries when their parents are deported or self-deport.

Basically the school systems will have too much capacity. In some districts over 50% of the students are illegals.

Nah. They are already working the Marijuana plantations after the last batch were rounded up at the raids.
