Proof Point #1 You see, years working as a property tax appeal consultant and a real estate appraiser professional resulted in helping many half-million-dollar and plus homeowners bring in winning appeals. That experience helped me over time crawl deep inside the parameters of the tax assessors' minds....and uncover exactly what it is these folks are desperate to succeed at ... to improve and maintain the existing property tax base ... AND how they (the tax assessors) pick their comparables. Often they blindly roll over a previous year's assessment before there's even a lower established current market sales figure. During the years I was doing real estate appraisals and property tax appeals, these kinds of homeowners handed over four figures per project. Do you think they would have done that if what I was bringing to the table didn't work? Proof Point #2 Before you say "that's all well and good, but I'm not sure of that industry and I don't have thousands of dollars to invest in a property tax appeal training course", I want to assure you it's not expensive and it's relatively easy to learn. And ... I'm willing to share the complete business opportunity with you because I'm 65, retiring, and since you can only service a small radius area efficiently, this would be a great business opportunity for someone inclined toward a business like this. Here are just some of the key benefits of this one-of-a-kind, hot home base business, scientific Property Tax Consulting Home Business Package tax appeal system:
You see, despite all my previous success, I decided to leave the real estate appraiser rat race, and start my own small business using the system I'd developed. It took me a few years to figure out how to apply all the principles in writing, but once I did (in March 1996), the results were nothing short of astounding! Here’s the story: Every good appraiser knows there are just three basic things behind winning a property tax appeal -- (1) a decent format ... (2) keeping your comparable's similar ... and (3) making acceptable and reasonable adjustments for each particular valuation category. Many homeowners use professional representation. I speak to them at hearings and ask what it costs them to appeal. The average cost for a lawyer in my state was $250 an hour for the time that the attorney had to be present with the client at municipal property tax hearings or tax court. You generally don't know when your case is heard. It could be morning or afternoon ... the attorney's money meter is running. Then they need an appraisal. The initial appraisals cost about $400 (the cheapest complete property market analysis I could find was $390 in my N. J. county) plus $350 for their appraiser showing up to testify for up to 4 hours (half day; anything else is extra). Those who want to wing it alone scour the magazines and internet for hours for any hint they can find on how to crunch the numbers. They'll talk to anyone for a clue. Often they'll use poor arguments, comparables and adjustments that work against them and loose a perfectly good case.
And all you need to do is: Locate Highly Motivated Customers Who ARE Willing To Review their Property Taxes ... and that will give you an Unfair Business Advantage Why? Because so many are over assessed AND YOU CAN SAVE THEM MONEY!! LISTEN.

Dear Friend, What I AM an expert in is a very solid and secure way to GET MORE MONEY BACK FROM A PROPERTY TAX APPEAL at a LOWER COST, how to APPEAL THE RIGHT INFORMATION to the appeal authorities, and how to virtually ELIMINATE YOUR TAX ASSESSORS COMPS so you can dominate using your comps in your clients appeal. I was a pro appraiser for long years (from 1987) back in the heady “evolutionary period” of appraisals to what it is now. In 1999 I wrote a book to guide homeowners to do their own property tax appeals and sold it on the internet, which I still do (http://www.housetaxax.com). I've revised it several times to make it more understandable and readable over the years. But seeing the increased demand for people to scrutinize their property tax bill and appeal it if necessary plus the many people who ask me to write a course with contracts, forms and letters and the how to aspect of the business became my motivation for offering this turnkey business course. There is a huge demand for property tax consultants and few are doing it. Most homeowners are so busy at their jobs and overwhelmed with the pace of life that they don't even have time to scrutinize a do-it-yourself book let alone engage in a property tax appeal. They balk at the expense of using professional representation. But when you tell your prospect that: "it won't cost you anything out-of-pocket to do a property tax appeal for you" they are all ears.
Notice wherever you travel nationwide that the opportunity to start and thrive in a property tax consultant business has more opportunity openings than any one person could possibly handle. There is virtually no competition. There are more than enough potential clients surrounding you than you can ever hope to accommodate (unless you live deep in the back woods in Alaska or Canada, that is) and I'm 65 and have a nice 401K and cutting back my outside business activities. I want to make available to you everything I know about this business and all I have learned. |

You may gain additional clients from pursuing this as well as a variety complementary enterprises.
Contingency fees are based upon winning a case. If your average win is $2,500 than you will see the full $2,500 fee spread over a one, two or three year period, however you want to arrange the contract. You also charge a one-time up front fee for a property tax analysis. This analysis could take as little time as 15 minutes for you to determine if you want to take the case farther.
Time involved per property tax appeal you decide in taking further down the road of appeal range between 1 to 2 days. This is divided between chasing around and compiling the evidence to time spent in front of officialdom.
Naturally, the more expensive homes pay more since the winnings will be greater. If you target million dollar homes, the winnings should average $5,000 - $20,000 or more depending on location. The time spent and work is about the same.
Non-refundable processing fees (i.e. $95) should be levied on a one-time bases. This way you will be compensated for low-probability cases that you may choose to avoid. You'll mail your analysis to the client and have them in your files.
Later, you may choose to refund the processing fee after you win the case. When you win the case and you offer to refund this fee it makes for good will and the client will have won twice.

Most towns are on spending sprees and are always increasing taxes to pay for their addiction. It's either raise the sales tax or the property tax. With home prices falling, towns will be seeing a tax shortfall. So they will resort to increase property taxes to make up for the difference. That will get the attention of a lot of folks. In many municipalities, lower home prices mean lower property taxes if the are appealed. The municipality will not appeal the property taxes for taxpayers. Most will not know how go about appeal their taxes and/or have the time or money to go through the process. The town will want to preserve the existing tax base and will not go out of their way to alert a homeowner to these financial benefits.
Property market prices are falling and are forecasted to drop further in the coming months ... perhaps for a few years. Winning a property tax appeal for a potential client could not be easier. Cashing in on this opportunity is almost fool-proof; there are hidden profits in the appeal process. This is how the "insiders" play for big money in the property tax appeal game.

What Is Property Tax Consulting?
Property tax consulting is about finding discrepancies in property values and challenging false assessments. Since the burden of proof falls on the individual homeowner, few have the time or the know-how to challenge their property taxes effectively.
Just about any property owner or manager is a possible candidate for your services as a tax consultant. This book deals with residential properties since commercial and industrial properties require another appraisal method.
Who performs property tax consulting?
There are a great variety of individuals and firms that specialize in property tax consulting getting much their business referred from accountants, attorneys or realtors. These firms most often specialize in larger properties and cater to large clients who have multiple properties that could be scattered throughout many states.
Real estate appraisers often take on the business of property tax appeals to assist a client. Usually they do it as a favor and it does not represent any sizeable amount of business they do. Most appraisers work for mortgage companies getting more than enough work from that activity. Generally, they do not like to travel to a court setting and having to wait till their cases appears; if may be in the morning or afternoon. They don’t like the down-time variable. Appraisers are an excellent source of referrals for a property tax consultant
All you need to do is present an initial report to your prospect to show them the potential tax benefits in black and white and begin your way to earning an amazing income.
The property tax consulting business is similar to that of accountants, appraisers, financial planners, doctors and lawyers in that a broad base of clients will bring you more business than you can handle.
Marketing and Advertising
Your most effective advertising develops quickly from a satisfied client base. Your reputation grows geometrically from the positive outcomes you have from your advertising and from positive interaction with clients.
You can develop a referral solicitation network by offering a fee for clients sent to you. Accounts, real estate appraisers, insurance agents, attorneys, mortgage brokers, financial advisers, and other professionals can play an important part in your success.
Give some thought to the type of lead you will want. Will it be just a name or a name that is pre-qualified for a reduction. Naturally, you have to handle these negotiations in a professional manor or risk loosing future referrals.
They get paid by the hour, you get paid by results. You have a winning proposition that they do not have to offer.
The professional you are receiving the referral from is relied upon from their customer base and they do not want to loose faith or confidence by steering their customers into a dead end.
Other methods of advertising
Just about everyone wants to save money on their property taxes. Direct mail, telemarketing or attendance at high-visibility events may gain you a multitude of customers fast. Direct mail may be the most cost effective method of prospecting assuming you have a good mailing list. Make sure the list is for homeowners and as specific as possible for your intended target area.
Take time to insure that the flyer or Val Pac coupon has all the information and the image you want to convey. Make sure you provide an easy way for the prospect to reply.
Following up on direct mail with a phone call, in most cases, is an effective way to get prospects. by developing a good script to follow increases your success rate. Prepare a list of any possible objections and have a pre-thought out effective response. In most cases you want to get the prospect to agree on an appointment. It's that simple.
Classified Advertising is another way to go.

Telemarketing is yet another way of getting in contact with customer. Lot’s of numbers have fallen off the “national do-not-call registry” list since many have not re-listed their numbers (after 5 years the number falls off the list).
How Much To Charge For The Services
Where the reward money lies The real money is in the contingency fee. When you win your case for the client you receive 100% of the tax savings. For example, if the client's property tax is $10,000 and you saved them a typical 20% on their assessment, your fee would be $2,000. The payment is spread out over 2 or 3 years so the client is rewarded by seeing an overall tax saving.
One-time equalization fee Your fees can be a percentage of the tax savings plus an up-front fee that usually range from $90 and upward. Keep it inline with your competition. This is a non-refundable $95 fee (or whatever fee you decide on) to determine if the prospect has an equalization problem and this should be not problem for a $500,000 home. This is a legitimate fee since it will give your prospect peace of mind that his taxes are right and if they have no case, it helps you from spinning your wheels with an unprofitable client. Besides they'll have access to your analysis.
Tell your client that the one–time fee is for the analysis of the client’s property. Charging a fee helps defray your costs for gasoline and overhead. This is especially helpful when you are starting out.
If the case doesn't pan out you have the one-time fee. We'll show you how to determine if you have a case or not fast and inexpensively.
You can offer to make this fee refundable if the final tax reduction is above a certain number. Many clients would appreciate this goodwill gesture from you and it will endear you to them. In a way, they win something from you also! This makes good marketing sense.
Again, the prospect has the peace of mind that their property taxes are correct if they have no case, and, you're off the hook. And if they have a case, you have a very valuable prospect indeed.
For this onetime fee, you’ll check to see that they will have made use of any exemptions that they qualify for, see that their return is filed with all the information necessary as well as complete any form they may have to mail in and that the information is accurate. You'll gather details and determine if an assessment adjustment case is favorable. The appointment and paperwork should take about 15 minutes and the determination about 15 minutes or less.
Typical Appeal Fees
Check your competition. Typically they charge upward of 50% of the tax savings for the first year with the remaining balance due over the course of 2 or 3 years. Typical back end fees range from 20 to 50% each year. In other words, the typical fee is 100% of the first year savings.
Examples of typical fee structures:
Client agrees to compensate (your assessment review services company) by paying a fee of 40% for the first year of any tax savings achieved. Subsequent years will be 30% for the second year and 30% for the third year.
Or you may choose:
The Client agrees to compensate (your assessment review services company) by paying a fee of 50% for the first year of any tax savings achieved. The subsequent year will be 50% for the second year. The fee structure is up to you.
Or if the client balks you could do a straight contingency for 90% of the initial tax savings. Or you can use any numbers that work well for your market conditions. There is little competition out there and you would be amazed the wide range of fees.
Retainers
If a client insists on appealing his case even if it looks doubtful to you, you could take it on retainer. Your retainer fee could be up to $100 per hour. Be sure to spell out all the particulars in the agreement and include an escape clause that allows you to terminate the agreement. Also, there needs to be a clause that holds you harmless in the event his assessments are raised in an appeal hearing.
What about new assessments?
Sign your clients up with a 2 or more year agreement minimum. That way if the property tax appeal situation looks more favorable in future years, they'll be in your database and tickler file that way you can urge them to appeal. If the initial appeal looks too tight, you can pass on it for the present year and strike up an appeal at a more appropriate time.
With real estate values fluctuating downward as it has recently, this is a smart move. You should be barraged with future business.
So let's talk about how to take the property tax appeal business to the next level. This is a Virtually No Risk Business Using Step By Step, Precise, Fail-Proof Research and Normal Business Marketing Techniques.
Successfully break into the property tax appeal tax consultant business with a short learning curve, easy to follow approach.
Consider my accountant. He's a certified public accountant has a master's degree from Rutgers University and does my personal and corporate federal and state tax returns out of his home business. Federal and state income taxes must be filed once a year and he probably spends over 40 hours a year preparing these documents for me. Furthermore, he has to buy expensive software every year (the codes and figures change constantly), meet with me every quarter and follow up with telephone calls on the thornier issues, keep up on the latest tax changes and nuances, prepare several VERY lengthy documents, .... for which I pay him under $1,500. He's a good accountant. Accounting can be a 6 figure business once established ... but man, that's a lot of work.
On the other hand, the property tax consultant business does not require a degree and can be learn-as-you-go. Property valuation principles do not change, tax laws are straight forward and there is only one municipal variable to keep track of (the sales ratio). Each year the homeowner has a chance to agree or disagree about the tax assessment on his home. The time to prepare and present a case is under 24 hours for most cases. The financial rewards are FAR more greater.
(If property tax savings were $1,500 per home, then if you find only 67 such homes to appeal taxes for you will have reached a 6 figure income mark. You should have no trouble doing half that amount on a part-time bases. There is very little competition and many homeowners don't know about the property tax consulting option and will jump on the chance to be your client.)
Now, ... the truth is, by using our Property Tax Consultant Home Business Course you're actually getting into a ground floor opportunity. YOUR TIME & MONEY -- WILL REAP GREAT REWARDS! (Part of what insulates you from others not succeeding in pursuing a full or part-time career as a property tax consultant is that they refuse to think like this.)
On a PER-HOUR basis doing SMART MARKETING RESEARCH is a MUCH MORE VALUABLE use of your time than chasing an appeal with no guidelines to steer you and hoping for an easier path.
While it may be a four letter word, I've come to cherish the w-o-r-k I put into building my property tax appeal system and leave it to you to reap the results.
| However, I really don't see how you could possibly get a high-percentage appeal on your own WITHOUT our system manual, and I'm personally convinced that ANY & EVERY consultant working for the homeowner who decides to appeal their taxes that's neglecting this kind of guidance is undermining their chances of winning and leaving money on the table! In fact, I can excitedly say it's absolutely possible for you to do EVEN BETTER than the average Joe ... but there are many factors involved and it's important you keep reading so you'll understand that you have nothing to loose. (It'll be worth your while I promise) |
