Property Tax Estimator
The property taxes on a home for sale will influence your monthly payment. When you are searching, keep in mind that the property taxes you see listed for that home may be higher or lower than the actual taxes you will pay.
When taxes may appear lower: If a seller has owned their home for a long time, their taxes have remained low because the taxable value is capped at the time they purchase their home. Once the home is sold, the taxable value is uncapped and can increase to match the SEV (State Equalized Value) thus causing the new homeowner's taxes to increase.
When taxes may appear higher: If a seller does not claim the property as their principal homestead, the property taxes will be assessed at approximately a 30% higher rate. In order to determine the estimated taxes you will pay based on a particular home, it's best to use the property tax estimator tool. Taxes vary based on the county, city, and school district in which the property is located.

I contacted Debbie from her advertising flyer I found in the drawer of my aunt's condo after my aunt had passed and I was trying to settle her estate. Debbie agreed to meet me at the condo and walk through with me and give me some ideas of how to put the condo on the market. She arrived with a friendly face and a printed market analysis she prepared for the area around the condo.She explained the importance of setting a price correctly. She walked through the condo with me giving suggestions on how to prepare it before putting it on the market.
This first meeting was so helpful ( at a stressful time) I had well organized information and a plan to move forward with. Debbie's knowledge and experience allowed me to prepare the condo and put on the market on a Thursday with an open house 2 days later on Saturday and multiple offers 4 days after listing . Due to the final offer being a cash offer the entire process was started and completed in 1 month.I would 100% recommend Debbie Johnson to anyone who is in need of a Realtor.

My husband and I have moved many times, and our recent experiences with Debbie selling our house and buying our condo were by far the best experiences we've ever had with a Realtor. Her knowledge, honesty, responsiveness and integrity are beyond reproach. Debbie was always prepared and always willing to go above and beyond what was required of her. She genuinely cares about the people with whom she works and wants what is best for them at all times. She is kind, patient, calming and reassuring even during the most stressful moments. If you have the chance to work with Debbie, you must do so!!!

My wife and I recently moved from out of state to Michigan and by luck, we found Debbie. As anyone can tell you, moving can be one of the most stressful events, however having Debbie help us with the process, made life much easier for us. Her response time to questions and her availability to show us houses went above and beyond our expectations. We found Debbie to be honest, fair, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable throughout the process. She truly made our transition much easier and I can't imagine doing it without her! We can't express enough how much we appreciate all she did for us in finding our new home.

We had a great experience working with Debbie Johnson, who assisted us in buying our new home and selling our existing home. She was very knowledgeable about the entire process of buying and selling a home. Debbie was extremely responsive to any inquiries or questions we had, always responding immediately, no matter the day nor hour of the day. She was very professional and took great care in presenting our home for sale (staging, pictures, listing price), and it sold in 2 days. She also knew the exact price the home we were purchasing would most likely appraise at, and she was spot on. Debbie was wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend her!

Debbie is the ultimate professional that you want representing your interest when selling your home. Debbie successfully represented me on my home sale in December 2018. Debbie's vast knowledge of the real estate geographical area is impressive, which allows her to position your home against other homes that are for sale utilizing comparables analysis. Debbie's excellent networking skills and work ethic keeps her ahead of her competition. One key attribute of Debbie's is her proactive approach to positioning the seller in advance of inspections and appraisals to what they will be looking for. This gives the seller time to get prepared and fix items in advance to help minimize the findings during these inspections and appraisals. This proactiveness saves the seller time and money. In addition, Debbie will constantly keep you updated on your home sale status and make recommendations to keep your property on the "hot" list to get a signed purchase agreement as expeditiously as possible. Debbie is a "Class Act" and I have referred my friends and family in the area to use her when they want to sell their homes.
