Property managers carry a heavy burden of undivided loyalty to the principal (owner), while also being fair to all other parties.

SUCCESSFUL PROPERTY TAX APPEALS

You can find lots of reasons why a property is worth more money, but we often overlook sound, supportable rationale for why the Assessor should REDUCE your property value (and thereby reduce your taxes).
