Hi Gary, I'm a founder researching how small commercial property owners — the $1–8M buildings: strip centers, flex, small office — handle their property tax assessments, and CPAs who work with real estate investors keep coming up as the people who actually hear the complaints. Your practice came up specifically for its real estate focus. I'm not selling anything. I'm trying to find out whether a contingency appeal service (owner pays only a percentage of savings won) would actually get referred by people like you, or whether that's wishful thinking. One example from my research: a 2018 office building in downtown Alpharetta assessed at $298/sqft while a comparable 2020 building in the same assessor neighborhood sits at $167/sqft — about $40K/year of tax in that gap, and the owner has never appealed. Could I grab 15 minutes Tuesday June 16 (12–2:30pm ET) or Thursday June 18 (12:30–4pm ET)? Happy to work around you. I'll share what I learn across these conversations. — Stephen Fong
