Town of Old Saybrook, CT
Important Re-valuation Information

In response to Governor Rell's signage of S.B. 997, which allows municipalities to delay implementation of revaluations, a list was compiled by the Old Saybrook Assessor's office. The information is being published in an effort to clarify and inform taxpayers about the difference in taxes due based on the 2008 Grand List versus the 2007 revised Grand List by using anticipated mill rates.

Approximately 50% will pay less taxes with the new reval.

SPECIAL OFFER:
ATTENTION BROKERS/MANAGERS

Effective immediately Midd-Shore with the cooperation of GE Supra will be providing electronic lock boxes to each office at no charge. In order to be eligible to participate in the program the Broker/Manager of your office must sign an agreement. The agreement basically says that the Broker/Manager will promote the electronic lock box system within the office. Brokers/Managers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping and return of all equipment, however the boxes can be assigned to an individual agent. Please keep in mind that lock boxes can only be issued to electronic key holders so each agent that a box will be assigned to must hold an electronic key. The amount of boxes issued to each office or agent cannot exceed their listing inventory. In the event that more boxes are required simply call the Association office to order more. An order form can be downloaded from the link below for your convenience. There are two methods of delivery: pick up the boxes at the Midd-Shore office or we can ship them. Keep in mind that the boxes can be heavy and recipients will be charged an additional fee for shipping and handling. We hope that your office will promote and participate in this new exciting program. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our office at 860-395-0588.

NEW MARKETING TOOL FOR BROKERS

The Connecticut Statewide MLS will begin offering ListHub to our Participant Brokers at no additional cost, allowing you to syndicate your listings to some of the best real estate search sites on the web - for free! Using ListHub, Connecticut Statewide MLS brokers can automatically send, control, and update their listings directly from the MLS to many real estate websites including the following:

There is no action required on your part to take advantage of the new marketing benefit. As a default, all of your active listing inventory will be distributed to all websites listed above. If you do not wish to send listings to one or more of the websites, simply go to www.ListHub.net and click on "Create Account". You will set your own login and password. Behind the scenes, you will be verified as a CTMLS Broker. Once you set up your account, click on "Channels" to pick the real estate websites you would like to unsubscribe from. When a consumer finds your listing on one of these Web sites, and they click through for more information, they are directed to the Statewide MLS Public Web site www.CTREAL.com. All leads are passed directly to the brokerage or listing agent (depending on choice made by the consumer to email the agent or click on the web link). The basic ListHub service that lets you choose which websites to automatically send your listings to is free of charge to Connecticut Statewide Participants. No credit card information will be collected with registration. For information about ListHub contact info@listhub.net or
877-847-3394 ext. 1 (sales).
