Montana Property Tax Appraisal
There is a short deadline for having your property tax value reviewed by the state.
Have you received a letter in the mail from the Montana Department of Revenue? You should be receiving a property appraisal letter letting you know how much Montana thinks your property is worth. If you disagree with the state’s appraisal, there is an avenue to challenge it. Go to https://revenue.mt.gov/publications/request-for-informal-classification-and-appraisal-review-form-ab-26 where you can submit a request to review the appraisal online, or by means of a hard copy. But hurry!! There is a 30-day deadline.

Real Estate Relationships
Relationships between real estate agents and their clients, in a nut shell.
In a nutshell . . . There are different types of relationships between real estate brokers and clients. There are buyers’ agents, sellers’ agents, dual agents and statutory agents. Depending on the mutually agreed upon contractual relationship an agent may be acting as a fiduciary agent for a buyer or a seller. A fiduciary agent has the duty to act in the best interest of his or her client. In the case of dual agency, an agent is equally responsible to the seller and the buyer, simultaneously.
It’s important that you understand how an agent would be representing you. Be sure to read through forms / contracts and satisfy answers to your questions before signing documents. Check out this resource from National Association of REALTORS® https://www.nar.realtor/agency.
