Overvaluation is not a static problem. Smart institutional owners have zero tolerance for it. The decision to accept a suboptimal result is not confined to one tax year. It anchors next year’s assessment to a number that is already doing damage.

National scale does not translate to better outcomes. Bell Frisco Market Center was noticed at $199.5M, a 109% year-over-year increase. The ARB reduced it to $151.0M, still above what our data showed was defensible. The final settled value was no compromise. DCAD knew we were willing and prepared to go to trial if we didn’t get it.

In institutional real estate, a result modestly better than the ARB looks like progress. Any movement in litigation can look like success. What is harder to see is whether the number you settled at was the lowest number you could have achieved.

See how Pinnacle got AMLI’s 22% assessment increase reduced to 12% at ARB — and then to a year-over-year reduction through ARB appeal.

See how Pinnacle was able to hold this DFW apartment’s property value that of its prior year, all at no additional risk or cost to The PPA Group.

See how Pinnacle’s contingent interest to obtain the lowest value possible and our ability to keep up the fight helped SkyWalker slash $2.4 million from their valuation.

See how Pinnacle’s comprehensive and exhaustive approach helped Cortland Partners reduce their 27% increase to 6% — and then again to less than 1%.
