How They Can Help

Their primary service involves automated property assessment analysis using proprietary software that compares your assessment to recent sales data and market trends. The system flags properties with potential overassessments and generates basic appeal documentation. Services include residential property appeals for single-family homes and condominiums, with limited commercial property coverage. They handle the filing process and provide template-based documentation to support appeals. Their online dashboard allows clients to track appeal progress and view case status updates. The platform generates standardized valuation reports using automated comparable sales analysis. However, they don't provide detailed property inspections or custom valuation work that complex cases often require. Most client interaction occurs through their website portal rather than direct consultation.

What to Expect

The process starts with entering your property information on their website, where their system analyzes your assessment against their database. If they identify potential savings, you can sign up for their service online. Once enrolled, they generate appeal documentation using template formats and file with the appropriate county office. You'll receive email updates about deadlines and hearing dates. The entire process operates through their online platform with minimal personal interaction. Most cases are handled through document submission rather than in-person hearings, which works for straightforward appeals but may limit effectiveness in complex situations.

Service Area

They serve Cook County and surrounding collar counties including DuPage, Lake, Kane, and Will counties. Their automated system works best in markets with substantial residential sales data. The technology-based approach means they can cover wide geographic areas, but their effectiveness varies by location depending on data availability and local assessment practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is your automated property analysis?
The system works well for standard properties with good comparable sales data. Complex or unique properties may require human analysis that their platform doesn't provide.
Do you handle commercial property appeals?
They focus primarily on residential properties. Commercial appeals require specialized expertise that their automated system doesn't cover effectively.
What if I need to speak with someone about my case?
Most interaction occurs through their online platform. Phone support is limited and may not provide the detailed consultation that complex cases require.
How do you determine if my property is worth appealing?
Their software compares your assessment to recent sales data and market trends. If the analysis shows potential overassessment, they'll recommend proceeding with an appeal.
What happens if my appeal isn't successful?
You don't pay their fee if they don't achieve a reduction. However, their standardized approach may miss strategies that could have been successful with more thorough analysis.
Can I track my appeal progress online?
Yes, their platform provides status updates and important deadline information through your online account. This is their primary communication method.
Do you attend hearings in person?
Most appeals are handled through document submission. In-person representation at hearings is limited and may not be available for all cases.
How does your service compare to doing it myself?
They handle the filing requirements and provide basic documentation, which saves time. However, the results may not be better than what an informed property owner could achieve independently.
