What are the services we provide?
We handle everything from beginning to end. We first make an evaluation of you property
to ascertain whether the property is over –assessed and has the potential to
achieve a reduction in assessment. Assisting us in this aspect of the process is primarily our own
experience – we have been involved in real estate consulting and assisting in
the review of assessments, and bring to this problem a substantial amount of
experience.
In most cases, we find that commercial property
is over-assessed and we can obtain an assessment reduction and relief from the
tax burden. We then discuss our findings and give you a recommendation as to whether we should proceed with a
real property tax appeal. We work closely with experienced legal counsel in reaching this conclusion and we will
make legal counsel available to you to discuss recommendations and a course of
action.
In virtually every case, proceedings must be
filed in accordance with the Real Property Tax Law of the taxing authority, and
as your tax agent, we will recommend and retain legal counsel highly
experienced in the field to initiate these proceedings. As your tax agent, we will maintain close
supervision of the progress of these proceedings and will keep you fully apprised
of all developments.
The process itself requires very little involvement from the
property owner, other than to provide us with various financial
information. If an appraisal is
warranted, as your tax agent, we will retain a highly qualified appraiser,
proceed as far as necessary to accomplish our objective of reducing your
assessment and thus your taxes.
There is no additional fee involved in our retention of
legal counsel and/or appraiser. This is solely our expense as part of the fee. You
will not be separately billed for any of these expenses. They are our responsibility.
We pride ourselves on giving you accurate information
and keeping you fully informed as the matter progresses. Our recommendations and expectations are
realistic. Simply stated, we will not waste your time or create unrealistic expectations as to what can be
accomplished.
What does all
this cost?
As incredible as it may sound, the service
effectively costs nothing. Our fee is tied directly to results and we only charge a fee where we have achieved a
refund or an actual reduction in the real property tax burden. Therefore, the
fee comes out of the results, not out of your pocket. For example, we will charge a percentage of
the refund and/or tax savings received. The billing only takes place when we actually achieved and realized
theses results or you have received the refund.
| Be alert! You've been hearing those words in all quarters these days, but awareness, especially of
impending problems and/or opportunities has long been the hallmark of property owners...
