I\'m interested in buying a lot

It can be very frustrating when your estate agent doesn\'t answer your phone calls in a timely manner. Usually, if you can\'t get an agent to respond, I would call his/her Broker. The broker should do the corrective actions. \n\nNot all agents are the same. Most do return calls. There might be a special situation with this agent.\n\nAfter contacting the broker and still the situation is not corrected, please find another responsive agent that do return calls! Good luck!\n\nRyan Modi\nPattern Realty\nPh: (281) 236-4040\nEmail: RyanM@PatternRealty.com

In case of the actual house living area is larger than the appraisal office data, should the actual size be reported to the appraisal district office to correct the data? Is there any disadvantage or advantage by keeping the smaller size of the appraised data without correction?

There are many reasons why the county’s assessment of the property and the square footage calculated by a home appraiser may differ. If your assessor uses an estimation to determine square footage, there’s a good chance that this square footage may not be precise. If you believe that the public records are inaccurate, you should contact your local assessment department to request that the data be reviewed. The process varies by location; some may ask you to file an appeal or submit a grievance.\n\nKeep in mind that square footage can affect your home’s assessed value, which has an effect on how much property tax you pay. If the actual measurements taken by a home appraiser result in a higher square footage than the tax assessment office has on record, using the higher square footage calculation could increase the value of your home. That’s great if you want to sell, but it may also increase your property taxes.\n\nRyan Modi\nPattern Realty\n(281) 236-4040\nRyanM@PatternRealty.com\n
