Anyone have a recommendation other than Ownwell for protesting appraisals this year? Trying to get prepared.

I'm not disappointed with Ownwell……mostly I do my own but Ownwell has been ok

Ownwell did a good job for us last year.

Just bought a property for 45k less than appraised value. Surely that will be enough for me to protest. It would've here in Lubbock. Never dealt with the Brazos CAD before.

I tried to use Ownwell. They sent me an email saying that I didn't have homestead exemption on my property, but they could arrange that for me. I've had it for over 5 years since I moved here.

We've used Ownwell and they have worked wonders for us, **** the ****s at the BCAD office. IIRC we got we got a mailer from a local trying to do the same but went with Ownwell because of their past successes.

They got 80K off our main property and 20K off our rental from their proposed BULL***** Looking at the CAD, BCAD is still raping the folks that don't protest or don't use help to protest. We had to pay for those wins, but was worth it.

Just curious. What all did you provide Ownwell with. We have had them for 5 years and each year they have come back saying that BVCAD said our property was actually undervalued.

This will be very easy to protest, as long as you are willing to accept the sales price as the appraised value. I bought a couple investment properties last year will below appraised, and it was simple matter of filing the appeal and going in for an informal meeting before the ARB hearing. Take your closing disclosure sheet with the purchase price on it and hand it to them. They'll print out a 1 pager agreement to accept the adjusted appraised price for you to sign. You'll be in and out in 15 minutes.
