Most commercial real estate owners are unaware they are paying taxes they don’t owe.
Intangible assets are not taxable in 49 states, yet historically the industry has accepted the price of property and transfer taxes on business intangibles as an unavoidable cost of doing business.
RealAdvice protects our clients against state and local tax overpayment by ensuring they are only taxed on real estate. Our comprehensive four-phase PairedExpert™ approach guarantees our clients pay taxes based on legally accurate values.
RealAdvice is the nation’s only commercial property tax advisory firm that combines MAI-designated appraisers and CPA/ABV business valuation specialists in a single, integrated, legally proven appraisal of value — the PairedExpert™ approach — to ensure commercial real estate owners pay taxes only on taxable assets.
The conventional property tax system is tilted in the government’s favor. Across the US, investors in revenue-producing properties end up over-reporting their real property values. Assessment review boards and magistrates sit inside the same system that set the value.
