ValueAppeal offers an online Property Tax Appeal Kit that uses a proprietary, patent-pending algorithm to analyze properties against comparable sales and generate complete appeal documentation. The company launched ValueAppeal PRO®, a SaaS practice-management platform that enables financial and real estate professionals to add property tax appeal services, generate leads, build appeal reports, and manage appeals. ValueAppeal reports that its consumer product produced an average 2011 customer savings of $1,346 and an appeal success rate above 80% (versus ~40% for DIY challengers). The firm says roughly 20–25% of U.S. homes are overassessed and uses that thesis in its lead-generation tools. ValueAppeal is a 40-employee organization focused on expanded technology and product development, strategic activity, and growth through direct channels and partnerships. The company provides a $99 Property Tax Appeal Kit with a 100% money-back guarantee if assessments are not lowered using its evidence. ValueAppeal offers an online property tax-appeal service that uses proprietary, patent-pending technologies and algorithms to analyze a property and generate a complete tax appeal in minutes. The service compares comparable property sales and other criteria to identify likely overassessments and produces the documentation homeowners need to file appeals. ValueAppeal charges a flat $99 fee and provides a full refund for any appeals that are unsuccessful. As of May 2011, roughly 80% of customers have had successful appeal outcomes, with average tax savings of $839 per year. The company expanded to a nationwide footprint in December 2010 after localized launches and is based in Seattle; it was founded in 2009. Future plans described by the company include additional hiring, continued expansion of its patent-pending technologies, and further strategic activity, supported by recent financing. ValueAppeal uses proprietary technologies and patent-pending algorithms to analyze designated properties and identify whether they are overassessed.

ValueAppeal has seen localized deployments in several U.S. counties, including Clark County, NV. The company plans to expand its service nationwide.
