Turc Inc

"I'm guessing we have worked with Turc for 15 years (?!?) and give them 5+ stars. In an uncertain field they consistently deliver way more wins than losses. They are proactive, polite, and organized. We just never have to worry that we're leaving anything on the table, because Turc has shown us that they are paying attention. Really appreciate these people."

"I have been using this company for at least 10 years. They only take a fee if they get the taxes lowered. Also they automatically mail the necessary forms when the time for appeals comes for my area. I highly recommend these guys"

"I wished I had an option to give them zero star. Turc Inc is really a joke. I have hired them to appeal my property taxes two months before my township open and they did not file anything for me and yet they charged me $100. They sent me a letter telling me that they did file a complaint but there are no changes on my taxes but my property taxes went up by around $200. I received a copy of letter from Assessor's Office that they did not file a complaint at the cook county assessor's office. Now they are telling me as a token of appreciation they will give me $50 reduction voucher for next year's property tax appeal."

"Don't like them, I'm trying to make payment, explained my reason, being harassed, and threatened about being behind (the owner states everyone has a story make payment) or you will be going to collections and paying the lawyer fees... So sad, I'm done they need o stars..."

"I wish that had zero stars. That would have been my selection. Avoid TURC like you would a plague. I hired TURC to fight my 2010 property re-assessment. Paid $100.00 and they were denied. (Nice job TURC! What about all those promises from your advertisements?). Then they submitted my claim to the State Property Tax Appeal Board (NOTE: This agency should also be investigated). This took 3-years to get a decision. The State Property Tax Appeal Board finally responded in March 2014. Well, what occurred between 2010 and 2014 was that the new county re-assessment occurred in 2013 for my part of the county. The new re-assessment lowered my property value, like all other homes in the county. This latest assessment accounts for the real estate decline in values we all have experienced since the 2008 economic downturn. I received my new county re-assessment valuation back in May of 2013, one whole year before the State Property Tax Review Board decision was made in 2014. Are you with me? I was re-assessed by the county in May 2013 at a lowered market value. Then sometime after that the State Board reviews my value AT THE NEW LOWERED VALUATION. And guess what? They agreed with it. Of course they would. What does TURC then do? They take claim for this, saying their work with the State Review Board is what got my valuation lowered. Repeated efforts for explanation and agreement were met with incredible ignorance by the staff and dismissal by the company head. In order to avoid a negative credit rating by TURC and collection agency harassment, I ended up paying them the 50% savings that our contract was for. This was a considerable amount (over $700.00). Trust me, stay away from TURC. There are good real estate lawyers you can use and their initial rates are cheaper (e.g., $50.00), or just consider trying it yourself."
