Property Tax Advisor, Massachusetts

FairAppeal is a financial advisor for homeowners, helping them better manage their home finances, starting with property taxes. We are hiring advisors familiar with Massachusetts to present prepared cases to local Boards of Assessors and the Appellate Tax Board on behalf of property owners. You do not need to live in the state, only to be familiar with how it works.

About the role

Property taxes have increased 31% since 2019, and we help homeowners manage them. Our team handles the research, builds the case, and packages the evidence. Your role is to review the prepared materials, present a clear and persuasive case on the property owner's behalf, handle any informal negotiation with the assessor or board, and report the outcome. This is flexible, supplemental work that suits people who want to take on cases on their own schedule. Most matters are handled virtually or by phone, though some Appellate Tax Board sessions may require in-person attendance.

Responsibilities

• Review the prepared case materials and supporting evidence ahead of each hearing.
• Represent property owners at abatement and Appellate Tax Board matters across Massachusetts.
• Present the evidence clearly and persuasively to board members.
• Engage in informal negotiation or settlement discussions with the assessor or board where allowed.
• Report hearing outcomes back to the team.

Requirements

• Comfortable presenting and advocating in a hearing setting.
• Organized, reliable, and responsive.
• Familiar with Massachusetts and how its local boards work (you do not need to live in the state).

Bonus if you have appeared before a valuation board or previously worked as an assessor, but neither is required. Every case comes to you fully built, with per-case compensation.
