How Much Will It Cost?

     While others charge over $10,000 for a seminar courses (I paid $10,095 for my first seminar) and others may charge several thousands, this will sound cheap in comparison. It will be less than $200. But read on.

  "I've billed customers for over 12-years doing appraisals, property tax appeals and advising on property tax matters for $100,000 - $1,000,000,000 + homes on a time-tested, proven appraisal system that virtually eliminates risk, guesswork and uncertainty ...

     And now YOU can use the same system to dominate any property tax appeal case you choose, no matter how complicated, ... without paying my consulting fees!"

     LEARNING the highly lucrative field of PROPERTY TAX CONSULTING is not that difficult. The potential for healthy financial rewards is the key factor for people getting into this business. Naturally you’ll always get a high from winning your clients appeal and the satisfaction of making someone's else's life easier, but the money ain’t bad either.

     Also the attraction of becoming an expert in the field as well as the freedom of owning your own business may appeal to you. On the other hand, it may be a tie-in to an other business you are involved with or that it can help diversify your income into areas that have little outside competition. You may gain additional clients from pursuing this as well as a variety complementary enterprises.

     Contingency fees are based upon winning a case. You can charge a contingency fee of 100% of the first year tax savings payable as installments over 2 or 3 years or charge an 80% contingency if paid in the present year. 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 time-sink is divided between chasing around getting comparables and compiling the evidence you'll need to present your case and 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 winning contingency fees should average $5,000 - $20,000 or more depending on location since we are looking at a 20% average reduction in assessments that we will win for the client. The time spent and work is often about the same for an expensive home compared to an inexpensive home.

     Non-refundable processing fees (i.e. $95 or whatever you feel is fair) chould 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.

What Is Property Tax Consulting?

     Property tax consulting is about finding discrepancies in property values and challenging wron 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 business manager is a possible candidate for a property tax review consultant. The course deals with residential properties using a certain method since commercial and industrial properties require another appraisal method.

Who performs property tax consulting?

     Finding clients is easy. One can even start advertising in Craigs list and local ads and word of mouth or a targete mailing. After a few clients, referrals will be the mainstay of your business.

     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. Often appraisers are an excellent source of referrals for a property tax consultant

     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 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.  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.

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.

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.

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.

Off Season Property Tax Appeals

     Tax assessors have the legal authority to reduce your property taxes. The property tax appeal season can range from 1 to 2 months for most areas and at that time the tax assessor is inundated with requests, meetings with irate taxpayers, paperwork to present a counter-claim to the appeals and generally will not be very cooperative. Imagine yourself under that type of pressure, and since the tax assessor is usually only one person, he/she will often give you the bum’s rush.

     However, property tax appeals done AFTER the season ends is another matter. Their phone doesn’t ring very much, there is little work to do and they are more inclined to listen. As long as you have a friendly tone, you can visit the assessor multiple times with your comparative evidence, and new comparative evidence if need be, and chances are good that he/she will grant the appeal on the spot if you produce reasonable figures and evidence to work with.

     Note that even though the appeal is granted, the reduction for the property owner will not go into effect until the next tax year. Even so, you’ve avoided the time sink of a municipal tax appeal and can look forward to capitalizing on your win at a later day. This can be a year-round 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 to build a winning case by using Normal Business Marketing Techniques.

Successfully break into the property tax appeal tax consultant business using an 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 should be well under 24 hours. 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.

UPGRADED OFFER: Combination Residential and Commercial Property Tax Appeal Course

NOW, OFF TO THE OFFER:

Commercial Property Tax Appeals

     Many prefer commercial property appraisals because of the huge contingency fees that are possible.  Fees can range from 25 to 50 percent of any reduction except for small properties where 100 percent is the usual fee. Smaller properties can be classified as properties with a total property tax bill less than $30,000.

     There are 3 levels of appeal for both residential and commercial property: The local tax assessor, the County Board of Equalization and lastly the State Tax Board of Appeals.

     You could advertise your services as: “ I handle all property tax assessment appeals on a contingency fee basis. There is no risk in using us to appeal your taxes. If I appeal your property taxes and the taxable amount is reduced, I will charge a percentage of the tax savings you get. I will not charge you anything if your property taxes are not reduced. There are no hidden costs. You are only responsible for paying out of pocket costs for such things as filing fees. At the end of your case, I receive (whatever your fee is, for instance: one third, one-half, 60%, etc) of the amount of taxes I saved for you as a fee.”

     There are 3 levels of appeal. The local tax assessor, the Board of Equalization and if no satisfaction is found, a final State Board of Appeals. Winning the appeal at the assessor level is best, however, if necessary, the entire abatement process is provided and covered in the course.

Winning at the assessor level is accomplished by providing good evidence backed up by a sound analysis. If you do your homework right, it sidesteps the added professional expense incurred at the Board of Equalization or later at the State Tax Board level. We give you the tools to do all that.
