Lying thieves. Stay away. Over charged me for property tax review. Dragged out the process with zero feedback to the long delays. STAY AWAY!! read more

HORRENDOUS!!! I wish I had read the reviews calling him a scammer before we hired him. Our family had hired Greg to protest property taxes on our behalf annually. Then suddenly one year, he provided no notice, and simply forgot to protest our property taxes, so of course the taxes went up. Had he told us, we would have hired someone else or done it ourselves. (By the way, its not hard to protest your taxes, if you google it, you can do it yourself online. It just takes time.) Fast forward a year, Greg sends me a letter that he is putting a lien against my house unless I pay him for something that I don't believe I owe him for. If someone puts a lien against your house, you can lose your house. In my opinion, this is an abuse of his position as a lawyer. I am going to file a complaint with the better business bureau and look into other options. read more

So thankful to find someone to help me and my family with are outrageous tax issues! I definitely recommend reaching out you don't pay anything unless they get your taxes down.

Received a "bill" in the mail stating I owe them money for "appealing" my property taxes but I reached out to the Property Tax Appeal Board and there is no appeal filed for my property taxes. The letter does not state if they tried to reach out to me or if they have sent prior mailing trying to contact me to or sent invoices. In addition, they use threatening language, such I was like I wont be able to get a loan on my property or sell if I don't pay them their 259 dollars for filing and appeal on my property. read more

What a joke. I put in for a homeowners exemption and it gets reduced. They charge me for that. I called three times to speak with someone regarding my situation and no one could address the issue. Each time I was told they would call back... NO ONE CALLED BACK. Then, they charge me a late fee on paying them. SUCH A JOKE. read more

I honestly think this is a scam. I never received a call, nor a notice about my property tax bill going down. I received an invoice saying I had to pay $780 and if I do not pay, they will put a lein on my house and this is basically to scare me. I'm not paying for something I know nothing about or have no knowledge of. I looked online and haven't noticed my property tax went down. I'm going to call the office today to get things straight. read more

I have depended on Property Tax Solutions to reduce my property assessment for several years in a row now. Each time the company has hit a home run for me. The team there has literally saved me thousands of dollars in property taxes. I recommend them to every homeowner I know. Mike M./Park Ridge, IL read more

The service was completed, but done at an astronmical price. I should have done more research last year, my bad. I did not keep the paperwork that I signed. I think I would have avoided signing it, if I had known they were going to take and arm and a first child for this service. They took 50% of my first years savings. Imagine writing a check for $600 so I can save $1200 on my property taxes next year. Complete rip off, not that I am doing the research I am finding other companies at 25%. I will take the rest of my other properties elsewhere, and I would suggest you do as well. read more

They do not look at all aspects of your appeal and can end up hurting your situation in the long run. We had a freeze and they should have told us that an appeal would unlock a freeze. There are so many companies out there go to them or do it yourself. read more

I have used Property Tax Solutions and can attest they do excellent work. Greg was persistent on having my property fairly appraised and taxed. The firm is honest on their claims and pricing. I have used other firms that claimed my taxes were higher than their research showed and they would safe me a specific amount. They charged upfront to file the claim and produced no results. The insult was a post card the following year (which they send to millions) with the same claim soliciting my business with the same upfront fee and saving figure. Property Tax Solutions staff was knowledgeable reachable by phone and returned my calls when requested which was a pleasant surprise. If you need a firm to review and appeal your taxes I would recommend Property Tax Solutions read more

Property Tax Solutions has been appealing my taxes for me for the last 6 or 7 years or so, and 4 times I have received a rollback in my assessment and a cut in my property taxes. I am talking about thousands of dollars. When they didn't get a cut in the assessment, I have paid nothing. Greg and his team have been easy to work with and responsive when I have had questions. They even helped me correct some incorrect information in my property profile, which further helped my situation. I have had years of great experiences with Greg Hilton, his team at Property Tax Solutions and I recommend them highly. read more

Beware of imposters. Greg Hinton is the best!

They send out pre filled out government forms with your property info without any request for the or their services. Sending out these forms can lead to consumer fraud! People are rude when you call their office to have them removed from there mailing list. I would not trust them! Do it yourself and save money! You do not need a lawyer to do the same thing they do! read more

I received mail offering. I used Property Tax Solution to lower my property tax to lower my property tax. They did save my money.

Wow...this was the poorest customer service I have had in years. The service was completed...we saved a very, very minor amount (not necessarily their fault), but it was impossible to get anyone to return you call or email. I would never have bothered with this had I known how poor their services were. I honestly doubt that the good reviews are actual customers. If you are thinking of re evaluating/determining if your real estate taxes are too high, do the research yourself. It isn't difficult...I did it myself waiting months and months for them to answer. Just google it..it's free and you will get it done in less time than you think. Don't waste your time or money with these guys... read more

Mr. Hilton may be a decent attorney but his staff, particularly, the lady who always answers phone and email (Sharon), is by far the rudest person I've ever come across in my life. After making several follow-ups via email asking what the status is of my appeal and never hearing anything back, I tried calling only to get the voicemail and nobody bothering to return my calls. When I finally got a hold of someone, Sharon, was as rude as one can be. She was highly disorganized and upon providing her with every detail, she still couldn't locate my account on her computer. I am not sure what her problem was, but it appeared she just wanted to argue with me and here I was a paying customer calling her to ask if I owe anything for the services and if so how do I pay! Believe it or not, she was arguing with me over the origin of my home's street name saying its Italian and not Spanish! She never mailed me paperwork indicating what the end result was of my appeal was to the County. When I requested it, she said this tax firm tries to save money on postage stamps so can she take pictures of the letter that ought to have been mailed to me and she'll instead send it to me via text message as teeny tiny images. That says a lot about this place if they cannot afford a 50 cent postage stamp and that too for a customer who is paying them! Of course, when billing me, they took the liberty of rounding to the nearest dollar. Cheap people! Stay away from this horrible place. I am pretty sure all the positive reviews here are written by the staff to gain customers. Highly disappointing. I'd rather pay extra to the County as my property tax than deal with this rude woman. Mr. Hilton, if you are reading this, I'd fire Sharon if I were you to avoid loosing customers! read more

This review is going to sound too good to be true, but we are legitimately over the moon with the results we just got from the appeal PTS filed for us. The process itself was easy: I signed two documents, and they did the research and filed the paperwork. When I sent a follow-up question via email, I received a response in a couple hours. And when I called today to ask about next steps, Sharon was a delight. Our tax appeal has resulted in an estimated $10,000 in savings per year for the next two years. While PTS's fee is 50% of the first year's savings, it is absolutely worth it! Going forward, when our home is assessed in 2021, it will be assessed at the new (significantly) lower rate, so the savings will continue. PTS staff is knowledgeable, prompt, and have gone above and beyond in helping with additional property tax information that will help save us money after we are finished refinancing our house next month. I really am going to tell my friends and neighbors about PTS. read more

We were contacted by PTS in 2016. We were paying outrageous property taxes. We did not hear anything from them until about five months later when we got a bill for approximately $2,500.00. We checked our property tax on line and found that they had saved us a substantial amount on our property taxes. We then called them to thank them. This was a check we wrote with a smile on our face. We are more than confident that they will represent us with enthusiasm and integrity. We believe if you hire them that you will be glad you did. read more

I've always appealed my own reassessments and almost always have won reductions, some pretty good, others not so much. But with the latest reassessment, I thought I'd try one of those professional tax appeal firms to see if they could do any better. My assessment had gone from $42,781 to $48,113. The mailing I got from Property Tax Solutions estimated the firm could get my new assessment down to just under $42,000. In the end, they came close--$42,735--which promises estimated tax savings over the next three years of nearly $3,500. read more

They are awesome to work with and they have saved us a lot of money over the years. Our friends are stunned at how low our tax bill is.

I just saved 3,600 using Property Tax Solutions. They have great communication about the process all along the way. Very responsive to emails questions. The most impressive was the summary I received at the end - It was easily understood and thorough. I have utilized their services a few times saving me money each time. I can tell this process works because my property tax is less than my neighbors. TomB. read more

My experience with Property Tax Solutions was positive and seamless. I received an envelope full of filled in documents and an estimate of what Property Tax Solutions estimated they could save me on my property taxes. They quoted me an annual savings of $353 dollars and after reading through their brochure I was assured that if they were unable to lower my current assessment I wouldn't be charged and if they were their fee would be 50% of my first year's savings. This was stated a handful of times on just about every document in the envelope so it was very clear to me what my fee would be. I also appreciated the fact that everything was pre-filled in for me because it was convenient. I didn't find it suspicious considering a lot of the information that was filled in was information that anyone could easily look up and find out about my property anyway. I submitted my paperwork back in March and received a confirmation email that they received it and were working on my case. Today I received a letter from Property Tax Solutions stating that they were able to offer me an annual savings of $483 for the next 2 years and my fee was $241.50, which is 50% of the first year's savings. I'm happy to pay the fee and I'm happy that I decided to have my assessment value disputed! I would do business with them again. read more

I hired Property Tax Solutions to help reduce my property taxes. They sent me a notice telling me they were able to reduce my taxes by $1004.00, I sent them a check for $502.00. My property taxes actually went up considerably, I think this was a scam. I've tried to call them at 312-448-9992 but always get their voicemail, I've tried to leave a message but the voicemail cuts off too quick. read more

Great firm,easy to apply online, been using service for years and have saved Thousands of tax dollars. Keep up with the County with by using professionals. read more

Greg and his team helped me get a substantial reduction in my taxes last two appeals. I just sent him in my third appeal for was again reassessed by the county. Great and prompt email communication and explains the process clearly. Provides a great and professional service. read more

These guys are the real deal. When I received their materials in the mail I was highly skeptical. The prior year - which was the triennial assessment year - I had submitted an appeal to the Board of Review on my own and already received a very large decrease in assessed valuation which I was satisfied with. This was after the Cook County Assessor declined my appeal to them. I read PTC's material VERY carefully. It was straightforward and I saw no potential pitfalls. They do NOT charge any fees up front. So I had nothing to lose and if successful I might save a little more money. I checked them out here on Yelp and at Better Business Bureau and saw the positive reviews. So I sent in their form. A few months later the results were in. I was shocked. Another eight percent reduction in assessed valuation. On my very modest house, this amounts to a $500 savings each year at current tax rates. In perpetuity. Their fee is one half of one year's savings for which they will send an invoice with payment due in 30 days. That's one bill I was really tickled to pay. I don't know how they do it, but they get my highest recommendation. Update 27 July 2016: Received an email that they changed their name to Property Tax Solutions effective July 1. Same address but different phone, email and website url: www.PropertyTaxSolutions.com. Don't know anything more. Update 18 April 2018: Apparently the principals of the firm I had dealt with in 2016 decided to divorce and go their separate ways and open firms under different but similar-sounding names. Greg Hilton was one of them who now does business as Property Tax Solutions at the original address. THIS is the company I would rely on. After the split I received a solicitation in October 2016 from one of the others who claimed he had represented my appeal before. I filled out their forms (acted too hastily I admit) and sent them in. Five months went by and I heard nothing. I checked the Board of Review website and found they declined the appeal. No communication from them. I am not mentioning their name here to avoid confusion - they go under a similar sounding name - but I have posted a separate review of them on Yelp. So, again, Property Tax Solutions/Greg Hilton is the company I would use again, not that "other." read more

Unfortunately, Property Tax Solutions did not due their due diligence. They sent out incorrect information about my township, and then sent out an apology letter which I received one day after the appeal deadline with the county had closed. Their data glitch and communication about it was a huge error, and I am not sure how it can be made right at this point. If this is the only thing that they do, they should be sure and do it correctly. If they have a way to redeem the error, I am open to rewriting my review. read more

This was my first time using an attorney that contacted me via postal mail. Was a little hesitant at first since I am sure they send out thousands of these mailers and didn't know if I would get great one on one service, but everything worked out just fine. I submitted online my agreement and gave them a call a few weeks later to confirm they got it and they acknowledged that they did and that was that. I waited about four months to see if I got a reduction in my taxes and they did. I saved about $600 on my following year tax bill. Per their agreement you pay them 50% of the savings, so I saved a net $300 for really just filling out a simple online form. To be honest I didn't really research to see if 50% of tax savings was a good deal, but everything worked out just fine. I would recommend them. read more

Great company to work with! The office is very polite, friendly and deliver service. They were able to save on my property tax bill and I will continue to work with them. read more

Very fast and precise in the work done. The results were positive. They are truthful.

Total scam. I also fell for their marketing materials and signed up with them for the past triennial. I had always done my own tax protest - which is not hard to do - but thought I would see what they could do. They managed to get a minor reduction, I paid their fee and that was that. Wrong! Several months later I find out that they sell off their clients to other low life tax firms who then came after me for the fee I had already paid to Property Tax Solutions. I had to present proof of payment, etc. which I was able to do but this other firm hounded me for days. Calling me constantly with threatening messages. I tried calling Property Tax Solutions but they would never call back after leaving a message. I am not sure of what the deal is with Property Tax Solutions but good luck even finding Mr. Hilton who claims to own this company. I think it is a shell company under the umbrella of many other tax protest services. Protest your taxes yourself. read more

I received a call from Curtis at Property Tax Solutions. Curtis apologized profusely for dropping the ball in regards to my situation. He explained what happened and owned up to the failure of communication! Reaching out to me goes along way when you know the call might not be pleasant. These guys will make it right and will I use them again!! If you have an issue with this company, reach out to them. They work hard for your approval and strive for 100% satisfaction. read more

Very useful in helping us understand our property taxes. Kept up to date on their progress. Helped us lower our taxes.

Property Tax Solutions handled everything to get a reduction in the property taxes for our primary residence and rental property we own. They communicated via email throughout the process. read more

Reduced our property taxes for the next 3 years based on the reduced valuation. Fee was contingent on savings they made for me. Overall good firm to work with. read more

I used a different company that charged less % of savings, but they did the minimum amount of work: First appeal only and compared houses that were not the same. I handed the same request to Property Tax Solutions, and they properly appealed the taxes through a hearing. The others play by the numbers. These guys actually work with the client. read more

I have used this service for years . They have saved me Thousands of dollars and have also help me get back over payments . I have found the staff to be available , friendly , and Knowledgeable .

Received via USPS a brochure claiming they could reduce property taxes. I needed to fax my information to them before the December 8, 2015 deadline. Over 2 months later I have yet to hear any word from them and I missed the deadline to file for an appeal because I left it up to them to do so. I checked on line at the assessor's office and there is no appeal listed for my address. As a senior citizen I am very disappointed that I received no assistance in this matter and no reply from this company which claims to be a BBB Accredited A+ business. read more
