Great experience and results from Heller and Consultants. We have been using Heller and Consultants to grieve our home for 5 years now, and they always do a great job. They were successful in getting us multiple reductions throughout the years and were prompt in responding to questions, billing and documentation. The Heller and consultants team kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and are very responsive to emails and phone calls. I would recommend hellers and consultants to everyone and will continue to use them due to the staff being extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Signed randomly with them to grieve taxes. Get random emails to sign up again to grieve. I forgot even about this process 3 years later and forgot about them until I saw their random emails once a year to grieve again. Was wondering if they ever did anything to benefit me. I guess not. Time to try a different firm. My taxes are almost 2k more than every other similar house on my block. I’m doing something wrong with this company unfortunately. Only contact I ever get from them is to sign up to grieve again.

It took a couple of tries, but Heller and Consultants kept at it until they got our taxes reduced by 1700 per year!!! They kept us informed at every turn so we know where we stood. Will continue to use them.
