While members in the Droid and iPhone camps are rattling their sabers on their shields we want to point out some significant differences when you begin to compare cell phone companies and service plans. Verizon is offering multiple new Android ( Droids ) phones and T-Mobile has enough new monthly mobile phone plans to fill an encyclopedia. AT&T still has our favorite [ and most subscribers ] smart phone with less than raved about service.

Each mobile phone company offers a variety phones, some new and some not so new. Each carrier has calling plans to fit the needs and budget of their customers, including tax, deposits, fees, fine print, and long term contracts to lock you into their service for up to a 2 year period. And if you were to break the contract early then you are going to pay a hundred to a couple hundred dollars depending on the terms and time limits.

Here is where I’d like to introduce to you a company that has been around for ten years. Recently this company has entered into the mobile phone / smart phone market offering Google Android os smart phones with unlimited everything you love about your cell phone plan.

Unlocked Android phones with no deposit, no tax to pay in addition to your monthly service, no fees and month to month service which means no cancellation fee should you decide to stop your service.

Unlimited and without user restrictions to download ( or upload data ), access the internet, send / receive email and text messaging [ SMS SMM ].

The company is Liberty International and the mobile phone division is WOW Mobile.

Here is where we separate the men from the boys.

The familiar names and faces in the cell phone industry will NEVER PAY YOU ( thier valued customer they work so hard to entice with service plan options ) a nickle to refer them a new customer.

They would rather market the old school way with multi million dollar monthly ad campaigns run on TV, magazines and newspapers to tell us about their newest best deal. And the customer who buys from them pays for that advertising as an operating cost of the company like any other of their infa structure cost passed onto the consumer.

Hello. Wake up corporate America. Think about that for a moment. We like to blog and tweet and yelp about products that impress ( the good and the bad. ) Why not place the marketing in the hands of the consumer online?

Liberty Intl. WOW Mobile, that 10 year old debt free network marketing company sees this as unnecessary and would prefer to give YOU – THEIR VALUED MEMBER a referral bonus. Refer 3 new customers and ( or independent representatives ) to WOW Mobile and you will NEVER PAY A MONTHLY CELL PHONE BILL AGAIN. EVER.

In fact, if you are like so many displaced working Americans and you want to secure your future in a solid industry and an expanding market, do yourself a favor and take a serious look at WOW Mobile.

Question: Do all MLS Real Estate listings include Tax Assessor information?

When a Real Estate Agent adds a listing to the MLS, does the MLS service provide the same services and the same types of data? And do all MLS services generate the same type of MLS Listing in each area of the country?

Does a listing in Caldwell Idaho have the same infortmation as a listing in Reston, Virginia? Specifically the Tax Roll info?

And does each MLS operate under it’s own rules in regards to how the ONLINE MLS data for that “County” (or however MLS chapters are defined) is aggregated and displayed?

Answer: Each MLS system is different in the information offered, although there is a core of traditional information that most include.

In Venice, Florida, the tax and owner information pulls up from the County. We don’t enter it manually.

And, of course, County information was entered by human hands, and people can make mistakes, but usually it’s accurate, at the instant it was pulled.

If the property has been on the MLS past the period of time when the local County tax folks update for the new tax year, that new information will not automatically appear on the old MLS listing.

I always suggest that buyers do the research with the County – or ask a realtor – about the local millage figures so they can make an informed decision about what their new tax bill might be, but it’s difficult to pin point it exactly because the County may not use the sales price as the fair market value. They have their own appraisers that establish that, based on comps on record at the time the appraisal is completed (early in the calendar year).

Plus there is the homestead/no homestead factor.

But you can certainly get a rough and ready estimate using the sales price and the current millage numbers. Most times that will be higher than your eventual tax bill – yay!

Good luck and best wishes.
