Q: Is NTRG simply a broker for property tax consultants?A: Absolutely not! NTRG enters into a consulting agreement directly with the Client and manages the entire program of services throughout the relationship. NTRG effectively becomes the Client’s Property Tax Manager. Q: What areas of the country does NTRG represent?A: We currently represent property in 47 states and parts of Canada. Q: How can NTRG’s business model serve my needs better than the conventional property tax consulting model?A: Conventional – The “hub-and-spoke” model can result in diluted expertise as the consultant travels farther from the hub to negotiate values with limited or no experience with the assessing authorities in outlying districts. Many consultants in this model represent various property types and do not fully understand the specific issues of certain property types the way a specialized consultant does. Local Expertise – After considering the characteristics of a property and the needs of the Client, NTRG matches the Client’s property with a consultant who is familiar with the local assessor’s office and the property type. Effectively acting as the Client’s property tax manager, NTRG also provides an extra layer of review to the valuation process to provide a high level of confidence that the best possible outcome will be achieved. Our business model also includes technology that is not common in the industry. NTRG has developed the Online Portfolio Management (“OPM”) system for the exclusive use of its Clients, consultants, and employees for the purpose of managing the flow of information in a secure, shared environment. back to top Q: How much does NTRG charge?A: We tailor our fee structure to accommodate the Client. We are not restricted to a straight contingency or flat fee. back to top Q: How involved is the Client in NTRG’s process?A: As much or as little as they want to be. NTRG’s personnel take on the challenges that come from the daily involvement with managing a property tax program. We have technologies and processes in place that streamline the flow of information. This allows the Client to focus on running the property...not the property tax program. back to top Q: Why use a property tax consultant?A: A locally-qualified consultant with proven successes will optimize results in negotiating a property’s value with the local assessor because of that consultant’s reputation with that assessor’s office and knowledge of the market, the property, the property tax code, and information derived from the negotiation of values on other properties. While a property owner may have sufficient knowledge of the market and the property, the 3 additional aspects attributed to the consultant will, in most cases, result in a more favorable outcome for the property owner. back to top Q: Does NTRG only provide property tax consulting services?A: No. Over the years, NTRG has identified other property-related services that benefit our Clients. We’ve applied the same successful
methods we use in our property tax consulting services to the following:
Q: How much experience does NTRG bring to the table?A: Most of our key personnel have more than 20 years’ experience in property tax, sales/use tax, property management, and/or asset management. Our consultants are all proven successful and most have been representing property owners for decades. back to top Q: What do NTRG’s competitors say about NTRG?A: Because of our business model, NTRG doesn’t compete with the conventional property tax consultants. Depending on need, we hire them. However, it has been said that “NTRG is simply a broker and isn’t involved after the contract is signed." Not True! NTRG enters into a consulting agreement directly with the Client and manages the entire program of services throughout the relationship. NTRG effectively becomes the Client’s Property Tax Manager. See business model information above. back to top Q: Who are NTRG’s clients?A: Representative Client List Includes: back to top |
