"
In the past, I was always a little wary of companies that made these kinds of offers - I didn't think that they could really do very much about property taxes.  

But I was referred to Andrea Raila by my neighbor, so I thought I would give them a try. 

I contacted them by phone and gave them the information about our property.  They explained how the process worked, and sent forms out to me for signature.  I signed the forms and sent them back and that was it.  Upon receiving the reduction in taxes, I got a letter telling me the good news.  We were very pleased with the outcome!  We were also told that they felt that we could get a further reduction for the next year's taxes.

This company knows what they are doing and we will certainly use them in the future. All in all, this is a very professional organization and I would recommend their services to anyone."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot.
