• Strong knowledge of real estate valuation methodologies, tax bills, assessment notices, protest hearings, and multi-state property tax processes.

• Experience working with local taxing authorities, county appraisal districts, and jurisdiction-specific appeal requirements.

• Proven ability to manage client relationships, multiple projects, and competing deadlines with strong attention to detail.

• Excellent analytical, negotiation, research, verbal, and written communication skills.
