We do the research. You keep most of the savings.
Counties value homes in bulk. We look at yours one at a time — and only file when the evidence says you're overpaying.
You request a free review
Enter your address and a few details. No card, no obligation.
We compare your home with similar ones
We start with homes of similar size nearby, then adjust for lot size, bedrooms, bathrooms and condition. In Texas we also compare how the appraisal district valued your neighbors.
You see the numbers first
Your account shows the value we’ll ask for and your estimated savings. We only file if your value looks at least 3% too high, and you get the full evidence packet once it’s filed.
We file before the deadline
You sign one agreement and the county agent form. We file the informal review or protest and handle any hearing.
You save — then we invoice
Once the county confirms the lower value in writing, we invoice our share of the first year’s savings. No reduction, no fee.
Every year after
Values change yearly. We re-check your home each year and file again only when it's worth it. You can cancel anytime.
How long it takes, state by state
