Has the value of your Santa Cruz home decreased since you purchased it? Do you want to keep your home in Santa Cruz and ride out the current wave? How about paying less each your in property taxes?
Consider having your Santa Cruz property taxes reassessed. It is a simple and painless way to save a few dollars annually. You actually do not need to hire an outside source to have this done it as a service provided by the Santa Cruz County Tax Assessors Office. There may be a nominal filing fee or an administration fee.
In Santa Cruz you can visit Santa Cruz County Assessors Site look for the assessors appeals form, or decline in value reassessment form. When you are completing the form you will need to explain the estimate of value, this is something I am happy to provide for you by way of a free Santa Cruz Home Market Analysis. From that point a current value can be determined and presented to the assessors office.
It is also a good idea to include a cover letter, in this you will want to explain how the value was determined and any additional information you have regarding recent sales in your neighborhood, special conditions etc.
If you purchased your home at the height of the Real Estate Market the savings on your property taxes can be significant.

Unsend an email...Maybe
Have you ever hit the send button on an email..and wished you had not?
I know I have,and I know another Realtor in Santa Cruz-who should probably never send an email written in the heat of the moment. Although it is often great entertainment to read emails that should never have seen the light of day, as a form of professional communication it is important to "do no harm".
As a Santa Cruz Realtor, email has become a primary form of communication with our Home Buyers, Home Sellers, along with Lenders, Inspectors, and one another. But there are always times that it might have been best to unsend an email.
Having second thoughts, best hope your are using an email provider that allows you to unsend.
Gmail launched an unsend function last spring.You have a 30 second window to locate the unsend feature in Google Labs. Open your Gmail page,find the green lab beaker icon i the upper right hand corner, and click to access Labs. Scroll until you locate the Undo Send and click the radio button to enable it and save your change.
Now ever time you send an email along with the line that reads your message has been sent, you will have an Undo button. Click it within the 30 seconds and Ta DA, your email with stay safe within your control.
In Outlook you will need to access the Tools menu and select the Rules and Alerts. Click on New Rule and choose the check messages after sending located in the "Start from a blank rule" section. Click "next" twice or until you reach the Select Actions page. Check the box "defer delivery" by a select number of minutes, this will activate the edit box where you will select the amount of time you desire your message deferred before delivery. You may select between one minute up to 120 minutes.
Windows live and Hotmail, are free mail services that also include msn.com, live.com Your only choice using this providers is to save your emails as drafts, then send them at a later time manually.
AOL, offered a limited deferred delivery option until earlier this year, but that service is no longer available.
If you are a Yahoo user, there is no chance of stopping anything once you have hit the send button. It is much like building projects, measure it twice, cut it once rule.
