Our results include:

  • $2.7 million cumulative reductions in total assessed valueof an office park
  • $1.5 million reduction in total assessed value of a condo association in Kane County
  • $1.5 million reduction in total assessed value of a condo association in McHenry County
  • $1 million reductions in total assessed value of two condo associations in Lake County
