Value Appeal Pro Reviews 

Written by the company

We are Value Appeal Pro, a property tax consulting firm in Seattle, Washington. Our work is limited to one thing: determining whether a property has been assessed above its market value, and pursuing a formal appeal where it has. County and municipal assessors value properties in bulk, usually through mass appraisal models built on limited data about any individual parcel. Errors are common. A record may carry the wrong square footage, miss deferred maintenance or a functional problem with the layout, or rest on comparable sales that do not reflect what the property would actually sell for today. Our process starts with an analysis of the assessment record against recent comparable sales and the property's physical characteristics. That review establishes whether a defensible case exists. Where it does, we assemble the supporting evidence, prepare the written argument, and file within the jurisdiction's appeal window. From there we manage correspondence with the assessor's office, respond to requests for documentation, and carry the position through informal review and formal hearing as that jurisdiction requires. We handle residential, commercial, and multi-family properties. Procedures, evidence standards, and filing deadlines differ by jurisdiction, and a case may resolve in a few months or run longer than a year. Our fee is calculated as a percentage of the tax savings obtained. Where an appeal does not reduce the assessed value, no professional fee applies. We have analyzed more than 12,000 properties since 2009.See more
