| “I am sending this to express my complete and
unreserved satisfaction with AVS, a firm I have used for several
years -- not only for my personal real estate but also for
another entity that held very substantial and varied real estate
in Arizona. For openers, AVS is extremely “user friendly” in
that their communications are clear and timely, their fees are
reasonable, and they are helpful in explaining whatever I had to
know. And even more important, as if by magic AVS was always
able to amass all the information needed to support our claims
for tax relief, sparing me the need to get appraisals,
comparable sales, and all the other details needed for
submission. AVS made the process very easy and, better yet,
their results have consistently exceeded my expectations. To
put my comments into perspective, I should point out that I was
the General Counsel of McDonald’s (as in hamburgers) for nearly
twenty years before I retired. We were responsible for the real
estate taxes on virtually all of the thousands of McDonald’s
sites, so we obviously paid close attention to the management of
this expense. Of all of the lawyers and advisors we used to
advise us on local real estate taxes, I can’t recall a single
one with whom it was easier to deal – or who consistently
achieved better results – than AVS.” |

| "As a CPA and CFO for a national hospitality corporation which overseas numerous franchised hotels such as Residence Inn by Marriott, Hampton Inn & Suites, and Holiday Inn Express, we are aware that property taxes represent one of our greatest annual expenses. For over a decade AVS has consistently & successfully helped us with property tax issues. They are professional, friendly and results oriented. I highly recommend their services." |

| "If you want to cut your property tax then you would be wise to hire an expert to handle the details. 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." |
Patrick McGinley, SCSM
Vice President of Property Management
Vestar Properties, Inc. |
| "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." |
Steve Greenberg
Phoenix , AZ |
| "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."
