Cincinnati Questions and Answers

Is This Neighborhood Safe?

Friday, June 3rd, 2011


If you’ve worked with an Ohio Realtor you know there are a few questions your agent cannot answer. Ohio real estate law prohibits agents from commenting on how “safe” a neighborhood is or on if a home is in a “good” school district. I know this frustrates some buyers, but if you think about it, these are very subjective questions. As a Realtor I have been asked these questions many times. My opinion of what is a “safe” area or what is a “good” school district may not be the same as my clients. Everyone has different needs and opinions of what is “safe” or “good”.

The good news is that I can help you get answers to your questions. Crime statistics are readily available from the Cincinnati Police website and thru Trulia’s new crime maping program.











There are also excellent statistics and reports available to help you choose a school district for your child. These can be found thru the State of Ohio at http://ilrc.ode.state.oh.us/

Reducing Cincinnati Property Taxes

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

If you’ve bought a home in the last 7 yrs I’ve got some news for you. You’re likely paying more than you should in property taxes.

Here’s how taxes usually work in Hamilton County. Within the first three years of owning a home, the county will likely audit your home’s value. Since they know what you purchased your home for they will likely use this value as your homes appraised “value”. They then apply that “value” to the tax rate to determine what you owe. The problem with this is that over the last few years most real estate markets have decreased in value. Unfortunately it is up to you, the owner, to show your home value has decreased and thus reduce your semi-annual payments.

I personally applied for a re-evaluation of my home last year and was successful at getting a valuation reduction which saves me over $600 per year.

Learn what you can do to help reduce your property taxes at this free seminar on February 21st.
