Bruce Sokol, founding partner, started his career as an appraiser. Brokers kept asking him if he can do anything about high taxes dragging down the sales price of properties and making them harder to sell. Bruce realized that real estate taxes are completely based on what a property can sell for ... and who is better able to determine this than an appraiser? Thus, for the last 33 years Bruce has concentrated on lowering assessments and taxes on his clients' real estate. Bruce prides himself in consistently getting higher reductions than many of his competitors. He reminds his customers that mortgages can be paid off but taxes will continue going up – if you don’t file an appeal.

Chana T. Sokol, our customer development director, has 30 years of experience in real estate. She is Bruce’s go-to person to sign up new clients. Because she has so much experience with real estate taxes, she is helpful answering all kinds of customer inquiries. Chana enjoys speaking to the clients. The job is gratifying especially because she receives constant feedback from the thousands of successful clients. As she explains: “I have heard from clients, 'we loved using Bruce Sokol and are still saving thousands of dollars!'"
