We search for sales of similar commercial properties to evaluate your price per square foot against the market.

Income Capacity Analysis

We review the net operating income of the property to ensure the assessment aligns with its actual earning power.

How does your "Risk-Free" pricing work for commercial clients?

Our fee is 100% contingency-based. If we do not secure a reduction in your commercial property tax bill, you owe us nothing. If successful, our fee is typically 25% to 35% of the actual tax savings realized for each year of the agreement.

Can you manage tax appeals for a multi-state commercial portfolio?

Yes. Through our affiliation with the National Property Tax Group, we provide a coordinated approach for clients with multi-state operations. We ensure consistent, high-quality representation for all your commercial and industrial sites nationwide.

What is the benefit of outsourcing commercial property tax compliance?

Managing compliance in-house for multiple commercial locations is labor-intensive. Our specialized group performs these functions, including assessment reviews and tax bill payments, at approximately 50% of the cost of an internal team.

Do you offer a preliminary analysis for my commercial property?

We provide a complimentary analysis of your commercial or industrial property taxes. We explore market data and income potential to determine if your assets are over-assessed before you enter into a service agreement.
