OUR CLIENTS
Since 2008, we have helped more than 35,000 clients reduce their property tax burden by over $100,000,000. We have successfully handled tax appeals in every county in New Jersey and for all property types, including Office, Retail, Multi-Family, Industrial, Hospitality, Research and Development, Residential Properties and Vacant Land.
OUR ADVANTAGE
We believe our success comes from a commitment to three things. First, we are dedicated to remaining at
the forefront of all aspects of the real estate industry. We constantly stay apprised of the most recent market data (leasing, sales and finance-related) and relentlessly monitor market trends and conditions. This knowledge has earned us the respect of the taxing authorities. Second, we have honed our legal skills and employ
our proven effective litigation strategy to quickly and efficiently negotiate the optimal tax savings for our clients. From discovery to trial, we have the experience and talent to get the job done. Third, for over a decade we have developed custom software that allows us to better serve our clients and be an industry leader for innovation. Our software in combination with our well- trained staff helps us keep our clients informed and involved in the process and that communication is a key to managing the tax appeal. Further, our proprietary data allows us to leverage any market data that would help resolve the appeal. We skillfully blend these three components into our litigation process to protect our clients and minimize their tax burden.

TRANSACTION SPOTLIGHT
After significant negotiations we reduced our client’s assessment on a retail strip center by over $10,000,000. This settlement resulted in a $500,000 refund and an annual tax savings of over $200,000. We secured the reduction by working with our client and conducting a comprehensive review of the subject leases. Then,
in our meeting with the town, we utilized our specific knowledge of the subject property and wove in the current market dynamics including, rental concessions, actual expenses and the cost of capital. Our narrative resonated with the municipality, and we were able to resolve the appeal via settlement instead of litigation. We also recently negotiated a $500,000 refund for a special use property. Our expertise and knowledge of the relevant valuation methods helped us explain our position to the municipality and work out an amicable resolution.
