I just wanted to thank you and Krisstina Wise for your help with our tax protest. We had our informal hearing today and we were able to reduce our appraised value by $30K! I think having all the sale comps and data you provided helped to show we had done our homework.

Great news! We got our house level, which was rated higher than the other homes (inappropriately), down to the level of the other houses on our street. They went down to $455 from $492. Your help was absolutely invaluable!!!!! Thanks so much.

I went into my informal hearing with information on sales from 2008 and the information that you provided for 2009 through June this year. I was able to show them that homes sold for considerably less that what their appraisal value was. It took about 15 minutes and they ended up lowering my taxes by about $1200 per year right then and there. I think because I had all the information to prove my case I was able to get it taken care of really quickly. So… I don’t even have to go back for the formal hearing. I can’t thank you enough for the information you provided!

I just wanted to let you know that I had my TCAD formal hearing today and was able to get my appraisal down from $265k to $230K! I’m not sure how much of a savings that will equate to as far as the property taxes, but regardless, I believe this is way more in line with what it should be. Thank you so much for your help! Your advice and the comps you supplied me armed me with the facts and the confidence I needed to successfully present my case.
