The process starts with a free property assessment review where Southeastern Tax Advocates analyzes your current valuation and compares it to market data. They provide a written assessment of your appeal prospects and potential savings before you commit to their services. If you proceed, they conduct comprehensive research including comparable sales analysis, market trend evaluation, and property inspection if needed. They prepare all necessary documentation and file appeals within required deadlines. Throughout the process, they provide regular updates and handle all communications with assessors' offices. They represent you at hearings and negotiate settlements when appropriate. Most clients see results within 4-6 months for residential properties and 6-10 months for commercial appeals.
