George Basch
Principal
A graduate of M.I.T. with an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, George has been active in the real estate industry since 1973 as a developer, broker, consultant, and economist. After "development" collapsed as a result of the Federal Tax Reform Act of 1986, he began appealing property valuations for taxpayers in Arizona. Even after the economy became developer-friendly again, George stayed with the Tax Appeals business, and he’s still at it today—making him one of the most seasoned experts in Arizona's ridiculously complicated property tax laws and regulations. A world-traveler and adventurer, George brings with him his skills of route-finding, endurance, and persistence to solve his client's most complex property valuation and assessment issues.
