“I worked with Tim in my capacity as a receiver manager for two distressed properties. Since realty taxes are the single largest cost component for tenants in real estate it was paramount that we minimize the property assessment to the greatest extent possible.”
“Tim's relationships with the BC Assessment Authority and negotiating strength allowed for a personal tour of the properties by the area assessor prior to the creation of the rent roll that resulted in a very favourable assessment methodology and a reduction in property taxes as compared to the industry norm.”
