| "In 2005 we purchased the Grand Hotel in Apache Junction. The seller of the property introduced us to AVS, because the escrow took place during the time the taxes were being contested. AVS came highly recommended, as they represented the seller for many years prior to our purchasing the property. AVS’s tax appeal efforts resulted in a very substantial reduction of taxes in our very first year of owning the property. In the past several years AVS has represented us on all of our properties, and has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have been to several of our tax hearings with AVS and not only are they respected by their clients but the hearing officers as well. I unequivocally recommend AVS, as they are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous, and most importantly AVS gets the job done." |

As the President and CEO of a mid size Real Estate Sales, Mortgage Banking and Property Management Company for the past 32 years I have had numerous occasion to deal with several other Tax appeal companies. But when I found AVS in 1991 I knew I found the best Vendor for the Job. Todd Sakowicz and His team at AVS have handled all of the Property Tax Appeals since that time. They are efficient, Honest and hard working , No one wants to pay property taxes and This company makes sure of that we pay only what is our fair share. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone as they have saved me Ten’s of Thousands of dollars over the years. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions." |

| "As a property management company, our clients depend on us to take care of their assets as if they were our own. For some years now, we have depended on AVS to do the same, and they have always come through when appealing property tax issues for our clients. I truly appreciate the professionalism and human touch that characterize their services." |

| "AVS has been an advocate for us and the tenants we manage in a number of our shopping centers over the years. Their knowledge of the appeal process is exceptional. One case took several years to resolve but resulted in a very favorable ruling for us and our partners. Obviously we were extremely pleased with the results." |

| "Having many property holdings over the years, I have used a number of individuals and tax consulting companies to appeal our taxes. I have often felt like a number and not a valued client. The national firms I have engaged never achieved the results I anticipated were possible. I have used AVS for only a couple years, and they now have all my business because they know their stuff, get results and communicate better than the firms I have used in the past. The fact I am writing this testimonial shows I endorse them." |

| "We have our own tax department which handles many of our property tax appeals. But in Arizona, because of the complex appeal process, it makes sense for us to use an Arizona-based company there that has the local knowledge and data. We have been well represented by AVS for over 20 years."
