If there is a price difference that you are aware of, do not worry . It will have no effect on your property taxes or any aspect of your property. Real estate transactions, like many other categories of information, fall into the public record that has existed since the birth of our nation. Bankruptcies, foreclosures and many other forms of legal filings are all part of the public record. Public records are picked up by thousands of companies across the country and abroad.
Many newspapers publish complete lists of real estate transactions.
Sometimes space is limited and not all transactions can be published. No matter whether your transaction is published, it will still be part of the public record. Many people set up trusts in an effort to maintain privacy on certain information about a transaction. A trust designates another representative, such as a bank or trust company, that is the name recorder on the deed for all pertinent documents. If you feel this is an option for you, please contact your attorney.
