Our Founding Team
Smart Appeal AI was founded by a team of passionate real-estate investors and technology experts. With deep roots in both property management and cutting-edge software development, our founders experienced first-hand the frustrations and complexities of unfair property-tax assessments.
This unique blend of expertise — sophisticated valuation models, enterprise-grade engineering, and hands-on portfolio management — drove us to create a solution that is both powerful and user-friendly.
Our Core Philosophy: Proudly Indiana-based, we operate with an investor-first mindset. We are relentless in our pursuit of fair taxation and believe that property owners shouldn't overpay due to opaque or outdated assessment practices.
Our Story
It all began with a familiar pain point. Our multifamily portfolio in Indiana was suddenly hit with significant assessment spikes — a direct hit to our bottom line.
Determined to understand the system, we dived head-first into property-tax appeals: countless assessor meetings, confusing hearings, and deep dives into comparable sales data. It was a boots-on-the-ground education in the opaque world of property valuation.
Leveraging our engineering and data-science backgrounds, we built internal tooling to automate the research, paperwork, and filing workflow. There had to be a smarter way.
The turning point? A 22 % tax reduction on a 30-unit building — proof our approach worked. If it worked for us, it could work for everyone. Smart Appeal AI was born: a commitment to share our tech and expertise so every owner can fight for fair taxation.
Our Mission
At Smart Appeal AI, we are democratizing the property-tax appeal process. Every owner deserves a fair assessment, and accessing that fairness shouldn't be complicated or costly. Our data-driven platform delivers transparent, accurate, and stress-free appeals — leveling the playing field one parcel at a time.
