The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and we’ve pushed the clocks ahead an hour, so it must mean Spring is here! April brings with it pleasant sunshine and some welcome showers, but it also brings one of the most dreaded “holidays” of the year: Tax Day.
Yes, it’s that time of year to tally up what we owe to Uncle Sam. While we here at CRMLS are by no means accountants, we do have some experience with taxes and know they are an important part of your day-to-day dealings as real estate professionals. So, while we have taxes on the brain, we thought it would be good to introduce you to the tax products we offer.
If you use CRMLS Matrix or Flexmls, you have no-cost access to Realist Tax. Powered by CoreLogic, Realist offers some of the most robust tax data you can find. When it comes time to discuss your clients’ financial situation and what, exactly, they can expect when buying a home, Realist can help you come prepared with tax history, property characteristics, off-MLS comps, sales records, owner transfer history, automated valuation models, and much more. Plus, all this information comes in easy-to-read charts and breakdowns, perfect for any client presentation. Check out some of Realist’s impressive features and learn how to use them in our Knowledgebase.
For our Paragon users, we offer the MLS Tax Suite powered by CRS Data, or CRS Tax for short, as a core product. With its uncluttered interface and simple mapping options, CRS Tax makes finding property info easy whether you’re on desktop or mobile. You’ll get property sales information for FSBOs, subdivisions, schools, and more. With accurate comparables and in-depth analysis, you can bring your clients the info they need for a smarter buying process. If you’d like to see more about CRS Tax’s capabilities, check out one of our quick guides.
Tax data is vital for buyers and having the best available information can literally make or break a deal. You’ll want all the data you can find to back up your transactions, so make sure you’re making the most of the information available to you with Realist or CRS Tax. And happy Tax Day to you all!
