TESTIMONIALS

“As a real estate development company, tax abatements are a crucial part of our business. While the process may appear simple, one misstep resulting in denial would be detrimental to our projects. In the last year, Alexis and Mia have delivered over 25 approved tax abatements to us. Their attention to detail, timeliness and customer service not only makes them a pleasure to work with, but reassures our confidence in their ability to provide us with consistent results.”
– Design Pro Development 
 
“I worked with Alexis’s tax abatement company to do a property tax appeal on an investment property in Overbrook. Her team was very efficient, professional and extremely knowledgeable. They were able to reduce my property tax bill by approximately $1,800 per year. I am currently using her team again for a tax abatement!”
