Happy New Year, everybody! The holidays are over, which means we are back to business as usual. For the Perna Team, business looks like trying to bring as much value to our clients as possible.

The start of the new year also means that tax season is near. You have your one and only opportunity to fight your taxes coming up sometime in the next 30 to 45 days, depending on which municipality you're in.

When you get your tax bill in the mail, you'll see your new Taxable Value and your new State Equalized Value. If you flip to the back or go to the second page, depending on the city, you will see the phone numbers, the days, and the times you can use to reach the people you need to in order to fight your taxes.

To make this a success, what should you bring with you? First, you need to bring a letter with you that states that you're fighting your taxes. We have a pre-made copy of that letter we would love to share with you. Just give us a call or shoot us an email at any time. In addition to that document, the city assessor's office is also going to be looking for three very specific comparable properties. There are a lot of criteria they go off of; for instance, they will not accept bank-owned properties, appraisals, short sales, or distressed sales to determine the value of your property.

The Perna Team knows exactly what you need in order to successfully fight your taxes, so don't hesitate to reach out to us for help. We'll get you the three comparable you need to give you the best chance at getting your taxes lowered in 2016.

We would love to help you save money this year!

-----

"Mike Perna is the sole reason that we now own the House of our Dreams. Mike was willing to put in the time and effort way above and beyond the other agents we interacted with when we first started looking at homes. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions you may have. I know this because I asked him everything I possibly could to educate myself because I like being an informed buyer especially when it is the largest purchase you will ever make!

The knowledge he has pertaining to the local area was very valuable in assisting us in our search. He did a phenomenal job negotiating the price and seeing us through the process. This may sound like a minute thing, but he returns phone calls, emails and texts very promptly and always makes himself available for you. As if you are his only client, and as a client, nothing is better!

I could go on and on about Mike simply because he is worth it. I will recommend him to anyone who is interested in looking for a house or even has a basic question.

Mike Perna and his staff are the right Real Estate professional for you!"

testimonials from happy clients

Danah - "I got the optimum result in that my home sold in about 2 weeks. This is the first time I’ve sold a home on my own and I was surprised in how quickly they began showing my home. The first time I met them and signed the paperwork was on a Thursday and they started showing my house that Saturday."

Thom - "I had someone whom I’ve known for about 30 years come and appraise my house and they told me what they thought it was worth. I disagreed with the appraisal so I put the house up on Zillow myself. I got a call from a lady at The Perna Team and she said that she’d like to talk to me about the house and that she’d like to see it. I liked her so she came out and looked at it and said that she thought we could do this. We put it up, got 2 offers on it of which I took the 2ndoffer, and I was just pleased with the whole process!"

Dick - "Our house sold in 4 days so we had excellent results! She did a fantastic job with the pictures and write ups and I really think that helped it sell. Mary Jo stepped up and really looked out for our interests when the buyer’s finances were shaky. I have nothing but good things to say about Mary Jo and the Perna Team!"

Valentia - "We got 3 offers on our home, 2 of them were above asking price and then the 3rd, which I chose, was an all cash sale. I couldn’t be happier! Mary Jo did everything possible and I don’t think anybody could have found any fault with what she did. She was extremely professional, helpful, responsive, and she just did a fabulous job. I’m was extremely happy!"

Jamie - "We had very positive results with the Perna Team. Our house sold in a couple days and our agent, Mary Jo was really great to work with! She was very informative and everything was very straight forward. She pushed for the best deal possible for us and because of her persistence, we actually got a cash offer in the end."

Joella - "They were awesome! My house was sold quickly and efficiently and they were always there if I had a question. The whole process was very smooth! The buyer didn’t have the funds wire transferred on the day of closing so Mary Jo was willing to drive to my house the next day to bring me my check. They were all just really great!"

Clarice - "We got very quick results. The Perna Team was very professional and showed a lot of interest in helping us. We had 4 showings and 4 offers within 26 hours. There was an instance where there was an error and someone forgot to take a showing off after the sale was pending and our alarm went off. It was on a Sunday and I was travelling but I was able to call Mary Jo and she took care of it. She always kept us updated on the transaction too which I really appreciated!"

Nick - "The Perna Team was very efficient. Mary Jo delivered on everything she said she would. The level of professionalism with the photos and everything just made it a quick sale. It was listed on a Thursday at 2 o’clock and we had an accepted signed offer in our hands 26 hours later that Friday. We couldn’t have been happier!"
