(AJC) — Larry Singleton and Donna Broadus saw an upside of falling property values and built a business on it.
They help homeowners lower their taxes by appealing property tax bills, and business is booming.
“I was having a lot of my clients come to me and ask what to do,” said Broadus, who is also a real estate agent.
When values drop, so should property taxes. To make sure that happens, owners can appeal the value a county assigns their property and try to get it lowered, but not everyone wants the hassle of researching values and dealing with government bureaucracies.
