Information Available at the Tips of Your Fingers. Tapping Information Available Through Chicagoland County Websites
Why and How It's Important ...
I've written more than a few times, that I have a background of over 20+ years as a licensed IL Real Estate Appraiser. Back when I started in the mortgage business, it wasn't uncommon for mortgage lenders to have dual responsibilities within their companies like this.
And of all the additional things I've studied, learned, and tackled within the framework of my years of mortgage services, I've found that my appraising education and experience has proven the most beneficial to me in conducting my services ... and my clients. It's just been immeasurable.
To say that "things have changed" somewhat over the years is an understatement. The amount of information now available to a professional Appraiser is almost mind-boggling.
One of the greatest advantages for Appraisers performing appraisals in Will County, IL can now be found through the County's Supervisor of Assessments' website. The Plats of Subdivision for the entire County of Will ... Township by Township ... Section by Section ... Acre by Acre ... Lot by Lot ... and Parcel by Parcel ... is now available just by "clicking" on the Supervisor of Assessments' site.
As a former Appraiser that had to lug and then search through huge mountainous books of information years ago, that fact alone is amazing to me. Those cumbersome books were unbelievably costly to possess too, I may add. Now? Click, click, click ... and that information is yours ... FREE. And whether a professional or a member of the general public. Rather impressive, I'd say.
The information contained within the Will County Supervisor of Assessments' website is accessed easily. The whole website is very "user-friendly". But the same can be said for the other County Departments regarding taxes, recordings, and more. I think Will County has done an exceptionally good job at making this information easily attainable for all that visit their sites. Much the same can be said for other Counties in the Chicagoland area.
Now, you must by this time be asking, "Why should I care about all of this"?
As a Realtor/Broker ... This valuable County information is available to you easily, as well. Research and verifications of tax bills, tax amounts, Assessor's records of recently transacted sales, Recorder's filings for deeds, mortgages, mortgage releases, and more ... are easily found, verified, and then utilized within your transactions. Click ... done! No more chasing down the info like in the past.
Mortgage Lenders ... must access and utilize the same information. Having it as accessible as it is now is fantastic. And that great benefit trickles down to home buying transactions too.
Within my own Mortgage Lending services, it's proven to be immensely beneficial when questions or issues regarding a potential purchased property itself has been raised ... even prior to actual mortgage application. Having the deep well of information
contained within these websites has been an unbelievably wonderful asset and
pool of information for me. It's assisted me in servicing my clients and referral partners' mortgage lending needs more quickly and thoroughly. It's saved my clients and referral partners time, money, AND frustration.
As a Resident or member of the Public ... the addition of this multitude of information to these Will County websites must not be overlooked. YOU now have simple and easy access to information that was once much harder for you to obtain. That YOUR County of Will (and others) has undertaken the task of making this information available to you, shows great commitment on their part. The task must have been staggering both in the amount of data to be entered and the time it took to complete it.
I've provided a listing below, of a few of the Illinois Counties within the Chicagoland area that are providing a wealth of real estate-related information within their County websites. Bookmark or save this blog. The information contained below is very useful and may benefit you immensely at some point in the future, whether for personal or business purposes.
As always, should you have any questions regarding the information you seek, please feel free to contact me. I'll provide whatever information or assistance that I can to help serve your needs.
