#74 What's Your Home Worth with Mike Twitty
In today's episode, I was joined by our award-winning and lifelong resident of Pinellas County, Mike Twitty, MAI, CFA. He was elected in 2017 as the Pinellas County Property Appraiser. Mike tells us his story of growing up in Pinellas County and how his passion for real estate and development brought him to become one of the most successful private property appraisers in town.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
Mike’s career in the property appraisal field, and his passion for building and development since his undergraduate studies. He also talks about the greater wealth migration, being cognizant about smart growth and development, and all things around running a property appraising establishment that is big on improvement, adaptability, and growth. Additionally, Mike and his team’s goal is to make sure that they are providing fair and equitable property valuations in Pinellas county.
Mike also gave us some tips and pertinent processes we need to know when working with property appraisers whether you are buying, selling or refinancing your property.
He also gave us a quick run-through of their new and improved website that people can still access alongside the old one but definitely more improved with all the additional functionalities their patrons will love.
Mike also discussed the Homestead Portability Act and all other laws which he thinks could be improved to address the pressing situations in the county.
