Our take
The real estate industry has been historically slow to adopt new technologies, however in more recent years many real estate companies have become keen to incorporate new tech into their business operations. This is good news for proptech companies like Ownwell, a platform offering users the services of tax experts to help appeal their property taxes.
Appealing real estate tax has historically been the preserve of those with the time and resources to file informed, well-constructed cases, but Ownwell (previously known as realAppeal) opens up the opportunity to anyone - saving users on average over $1000. The company sets itself apart from the competition with its platform's ease of use, taking under 5 minutes to sign up and register for the property value assessment, and boasting no upfront costs.
Overall, Ownwell has saved its users millions of dollars. The company has a presence in several states and has raised good levels of funding that are cited to accelerate hiring across the business and further its position at the head of the tech-enabled tax protest space.
