Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is overassessed?
I compare your assessment against recent sales of similar properties in your area. My real estate background helps identify truly comparable properties and market factors affecting values.
What's your success rate with residential appeals?
My success rate varies by property type and market conditions, but thorough preparation and local knowledge typically result in favorable outcomes. I'm honest about your case's potential during our initial consultation.
Can you help with flood-damaged properties?
Yes, flooding and storm damage often aren't properly reflected in assessments. I understand how these factors should impact valuations and can present effective evidence to support reductions.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
Yes, payment plans are available for clients who need extended terms. I also offer contingency arrangements for qualifying cases where you only pay if we achieve actual savings.
How long do I have to file an appeal?
Texas law requires appeals to be filed by specific deadlines, typically by late May or early June. Don't wait - missing these deadlines means waiting another full year for relief.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
We can explore binding arbitration or judicial appeals for strong cases. I'll explain all available options and help you decide whether continued appeals are worthwhile.
Can you help with commercial properties?
I handle small commercial properties under $2 million, particularly retail and office buildings. Larger or more complex commercial properties may require specialists with additional expertise.
How much documentation do you need for my appeal?
I'll help gather necessary documentation, but having recent tax statements and property improvement records is helpful. My market research provides most of the comparable sales evidence needed.
