Non-Conventional Assessment Value States

• Some states Do not list the Total Appraisal or Total Market Values (by statute). Examples: California, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, IL

• Use Realtor.com or Domania.com to check for sale values of properties in the same neighborhood

• Check http://www.pulawski.com to get an idea of the county’s multiplier

• Use our presentation notes to figure total appraisal value

• Send Research the Name and/or Address and we will figure out total assessed value

25

Public Sources for Property Values• Search Tips:

• Websites are only as updated as the county has time and resources to keep up: some update very often, others in a given time frame (yearly or 4 years, etc.)

• Counties add services and update services, so some sites may become inactive from time-to-time for updates or the assessor’s web address may change

• Some search only by property address or parcel ID #; not by owner name

26

Google “Property Tax” or “GIS”• You may find it easier to simply Google county +

state +”Property Tax”

• Example: Wake County NC Property Tax

• 9 out of 10 times, the top search result will be what you are looking for.

• If that doesn’t work, try it with county + state + “GIS”

• Example: Chatham County NC GIS

Rating Prospects with Property• Estimating Net Worth based on real estate is simply

an estimate.

• $1 million home does not necessarily = Millionaire

• Factors such as debt load, high mortgage loans, property inheritance, retirement, ill spouse, children in college, etc. may make a prospect incapable of making a major gift, even with a multimillion dollar home.

• Also be careful about limiting property ownership to one county – many prospects own beach property and summer homes in other states.

• Keep in mind that no wealth indicator is an absolute assurance of expendable wealth and certainly not likelihood of giving.

28

• Screening Rating can be based on value of real estate

• These (approximate) ranges are based on calculations that estimate total assets, total debt and net worth.

• Giving can be in the form of a one time gift or over 5 years. (5% of net worth)

• $175,000 to $700,000 = E2 ($25K - $99K)

• $700,000 to $3.5 million = D2 ($100K - $499K)

• $3.5M - $6.9 million = C2 ($500K - $999K)

• $7M - $34M = B2 ($1M - $4.9 million)

• $35 million or more = A2 ($5 million+)

• Again, this is using real estate only – it is best to collect as much information as possible regarding assets of a prospect, but it can give you an estimate of capability.

29

Final tips

• If you know the prospect owns a real estate company or business, you can search for property owned by it.

• Websites such as Zillow.com can give additional estimates on market value (key word = estimate)

• Searching wealthy zip codes and neighborhoods can also reveal potential prospects.

• Research has access to databases that help verify real estate owned throughout the country, including past sales of property.
