Learn how Padmini used Bezit’s services to save money on property taxes.
Summary: A homemaker sees a message on a community group about filing a property tax protest using a new service. Having already lost money with agents, she is skeptical, but gives it a shot. A quick call and a few emails later, she files an appeal using the service and successfully wins. Padmini is one of the many busy homemakers in Texas who will gladly sign up for a service if it reduces their workload, doesn’t require too much follow-up, and assures them of timely updates with the right resolution. Bezit helps offload the entire process of a tax protest to help busy people worry less and free up more time for themselves.
Decoding the right service to file an appeal
As a homemaker, Padmini is the de facto operational head of her family, who handles everything from paying bills and helping the kids with homework to getting groceries. Her partner is a globetrotter with a travel-heavy job that requires him to frequently fly out on work assignments.
Managing everything independently is nothing new for Padmini, who (with her husband) owns a few properties in Texas and other places in the US. Having used agents in the past to manage their property taxes, she chanced upon Bezit when a friend recommended it to her on a WhatsApp group.
As someone who highly values her time, she signed up for Bezit because of the lucrative fee and the option to outsource paperwork and documentation. Within a couple weeks, her appeal was filed, heard, and the county ruled on the decision in her favor, due to the accurate data and documents that supported her case.
With Bezit’s flat-fee model, she didn’t have to share 40% of her savings after the win, and also had everything done for her in just a few clicks.
The right partner makes all the difference
Once a year, homeowners revisit their tax records and documentation when the county sends a property tax bill. While some homeowners are up to speed, the rest find the whole paperwork process taxing, unnecessarily robbing them of their time to focus on other things.
These folks will readily outsource the task if it can free up a little of their busy schedule. In most cases, they will approach agents and delegate them the responsibility of gathering all the data needed to file an appeal.
While good agents will serve their purpose well, there is no guarantee to verify if the data they share is reliable or if they will do it as diligently as the homeowner, if they had the time. In some cases, you will also need frequent follow-ups and an endless waiting period to determine the status of your appeal.
Outsourcing is also an expensive affair, due to the 40% cut that agents levy with no assurance of the outcome. Paperwork must also be error-free and supported with evidence, because a single mistake can rule out your appeal.
