Customer service - check your clients' tax bills

Here in Pinellas County, Florida, we can check the Property Assessor's website to check the taxes on a piece of property. An "extra" service you can add is to check the taxes on properties your buyers have bought, and check the prorated amount their sellers paid on the HUD statement, compared to the actual proration (naturally, be sure that the sales contract provided that these taxes will be re-prorated upon request). If the difference is a few hundred dollars or more, contact your buyers and let them know. It's up to them if they want to pursue it, but as the amounts get higher it's worthwhile. In any case, your clients will appreciate that you thought of them, and checked things out for them. That's service beyond the sale, and caring.
