Discount Brokers: The Real Deal
We have all heard the old saying, “If it sound like it is too good to be true, it probably is.” Unfortunately, this is typically the case with discount brokers. Whenever the real estate market reaches a high point, tons of new, discount brokers and startup companies seem to appear out of nowhere. They come promising dramatically decreased commission percentages in exchange for their discounted services. Now, we understand how appealing this may look but I want you to be informed and aware of the risk involved when you come in contact with these operations.
As an experience realtor, I have seen the poor service that these organizations provide on numerous occasions. Many of these companies require upfront payment in order to list the property in the MLS and then disappear, leaving clients baffled, confused and alone. Eventually, the companies disappear completely, leaving a great deal of wreckage behind.
Be Forewarned! These individuals do not do the same job as legitimate, real estate professionals. They will not take the time to market your home, manage paperwork, host open houses or guide you through the negotiation process like genuine professionals. They will simply cash your check, list the property and disappear.
Bottom line, if your home is not a discount property, then do not list with a discount broker. Those flashy and appealing discounted rates could end up costing you more than you ever imagined. Be safe, be smart, and beware of the discount broker.

When We Tell You A Deal is a Home Run You Should Listen!!
Last year we had a 31 property package of Graduate Hospital homes listed at $8 million.
We estimated the package to be worth $10 million IN AS-IS CONDITION and with value added it would be worth closer to $13 million.
These properties have all recently sold and settled, with most of them in as is condition and most for an average sale price of $400,000++ per property!!
With demand in the Graduate area extremely high and inventory extremely low, this was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!!
Property Tax Assessment Appeal Deadline Is Just Around The Corner!
An over assessed property can cost property owners and tenants several thousand dollars in additional taxes annually.
Negative impacts of an over assessed property: Lower net operating income if the real estate taxes are not reimbursed by the tenants. Tenants have numerous choices in today’s real estate market and consider not only the initial face rent but the pass through expenses when choosing a location for their business.
The additional real estate taxes from over assessment can result in a lower face rent for the property. Landlords may have trouble obtaining or retaining tenants due to the high real estate tax burden due to over assessment when the real estate taxes are passed through to the tenant. Lower value when selling the property or obtaining an appraisal for refinancing.
Bottom Line…an over assessed property costs you money!
The initial cost of properly preparing an appraisal report as well as the cost of obtaining legal counsel for the tax appeal hearing may seem costly at first and expenses sometimes exceed the first year’s tax saving. However, these tax savings will continue in the following years and the future benefit will far outweigh the initial cost.
Last year 579,000 properties were reassessed in the City of Philadelphia to establish “fair and accurate” market values. Unfortunately, not all properties received a “fair and accurate” value causing the derailment of commercial real estate deals as well as shocking commercial property owners with overwhelming tax increases based on an incorrect assessed market value of the property. Even though, not as dramatic the four suburban counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery have widely divergent assessed market values.

The Philadelphia Suburban Realty Appraisal Group is a team of professional commercial real estate appraisers that can determine the realistic market value of your commercial real estate.
