My name is Ryan Gomillion and I am an agent with the Copland Property Group brokered by eXp Realty®. I work with those looking to buy, sell, relocate, or invest all around Austin and its metropolitan area. I have been working in real estate since 2016, and I deeply enjoy creating relationships with people while helping them navigate one of the biggest purchases/sales of their lives.
I look forward to connecting with you and chatting more about how I can help accomplish your real estate goals!
The people who are leaving used to live in California, sounds like too many people are lost, confused and unhappy. Moving to Texas isn't going to cure your problems.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Austin is indeed part of Texas, which has a diverse range of political views. However, Austin itself is known for its vibrant, inclusive, and progressive community. It's a unique city with a lot to offer, and I’m here to help highlight its many positive aspects. If you have any questions about life in Austin, feel free to ask!
Thank you for pointing that out! I appreciate your keen eye and feedback. I occasionally use stock footage to enhance the visual storytelling in our videos, but I understand the importance of accuracy. I'll be more careful to ensure all clips accurately reflect Austin in the future. Thanks again for watching and for helping me improve! 😊
I think Texas needs to rethink it’s property taxes. I bought in California in 2002. My house was 250k. My property tax rate is based on purchase price, and only goes up a small percentage a year. I have a million+ dollar home and only pay $4000 a year. Even with no income tax in Texas, I would be paying much more in taxes in Texas than I do in California. I would be paying 20k to 30k a year in property taxes a year, if I lived in Texas at my home’s current value. I have so many friends that left California for Texas that want to come back because of taxes… They are now priced out of California. I have friends that are leaving Dallas and can’t afford to come back to California. This is a cluster… If Texas would change its tax structure, I’d buy there and go home…
All good points, thanks for the comment. Texas does have an interesting property tax system. I do see the pro of keeping your tax money local to support your own school district and local infrastructure, but the rapid rise in values the past few years has put a strain on everyone. There have been recent efforts to help homeowners with this burden by increasing the tax exemptions, which is a start in the right direction. Here is another video I made covering the system: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l0QemLqPIWw.html
You know the worst part: TX having high property taxes based on how and when the property is reassessed wasn’t a secret, it was readily available. A free google search on the county website could have saved anyone thousands. A knowledgeable and ethical TX RE agent could have provided the same free advise.
@@MexicanWorkEthic Thank you for your comment! It is an important part of homeownership in Texas and that is why I always make sure my clients are fully informed about property taxes and exemptions when we are at the closing table. Understanding these details is crucial for making informed decisions. If you have any questions or need advice, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help!
Thanks for the comment! While this floor plan starts at $623,000, there are others in this neighborhood that start in the $500s. There are also homes for sale nearby in Liberty Hill and Leander in the $400s.
