Property tax appeal packet prep for homeowners
The agent pulls a homeowner's assessment and recent comparable sales, checks for errors like wrong square footage or missed exemptions, and drafts the appeal packet plus deadline reminders. The homeowner files it. Hard because every county has its own rules and deadlines, and some states license paid tax representatives.

The problem

What the agent does
Reads the county assessor's record, finds comparable sales, flags factual errors and exemptions, fills the county's appeal form as a draft for the homeowner, and sends reminders before the filing deadline.
