Quality Service

By design, our firm is small and not over-staffed.  Our principals are involved in the day-to-day work for every client.  This sets us apart from larger firms, which have business models that depend on junior employees performing the bulk of the client work.

Founded in 1996, we have grown from one person to a team of twelve working to minimize our clients’ property tax burden. David Dermer, our founder and managing principal, has devoted his career to helping his clients achieve unimaginable property tax reductions.  Today, Preferred Tax Services represents over $50 billion in commercial real estate value across the country. We are uniquely equipped to handle the administrative and legal aspects of property tax appeals because David Dermer and Adam Richmond are attorneys. 

While Georgia is our home turf, we work with clients that own real estate throughout the Southeast, as well as in Florida, California and Texas, primarily through our relationships with local experts.  For these reasons, our firm is the top choice for many of the country’s largest developers, owners and Fortune 500 companies.

We work with our clients to develop aggressive tax minimization strategies, such as by providing guidance on potential acquisitions and developments, in preparing their property tax budgets, in securing tax-exempt status for qualifying properties and in negotiating and obtaining valuable tax-related bond financings.
