They did everything they said they would. They lowered my taxes and got me a substantial refund.

Appeal your own taxes. They reduced my taxes but you can as well. After the taxes were appealed and my tax rate was lowered. I paid them a ridiculous amount of money. And then they wanted more. Yes it's unbelievable non-stop letters and calls and all kinds of stuff. It's predatory. Appeal your own taxes you're going to have just as much success as these guys. These guys are scammers this is a racket. Beware read more

I've worked with Tax Bloom Group for a number of years to keep my property taxes reasonable. They've always been diligent in their work and keep me apprised about the progress. I'm very pleased with the savings. However when Cook County reassessed properties this year, my bill shot up, but would have been more if not for the work of Tax Bloom Group. Fortunately, they guided us through the process for applying for Senior Tax Exemption for which we were finally eligible. That cut our bill in half. Thank you Tax Bloom Group! read more

Used them the first year I moved into a new home. I filed the appeal for my old house myself. TaxBloom got me a reduction on the new place but the county didn't grant one on my old place. TaxBloom then managed another (smaller) reduction as a secondary appeal. Used them again the next 2 years. Each time they've managed to get the assessment amount reduced (though of course the assessment always starts out a lot higher). Ultimately I rated 5 stars, though I wish I could rate 4.5. My complaints? They charge 1/3 of the amount saved, but you're paying that 1/3 on the undiscounted amount... if you have a senior or homeowner exemption and try to recalculate it you'll realize you're paying more like 40% I think. It's still savings, and it's $ that I wasn't able to save when trying to do an appeal myself, but overall it's pretty steep for something your theoretically could do yourself read more

Cha-ching! I just got my check from Tax Bloom yesterday. The first time in my life, I've made so much money with so little effort on my part. Here's what happenned: A few months ago I got a letter from Tax Bloom saying that it was likely that Cook County owed me money on property taxes (or something like that). Fact is that I knew that, but my letters to the Cook County treasurer had merely been ignored. So, when I got this letter, and while I'm not a huge fan of signing anything, I figured, I had nothing to lose. If this guy could help me get my money, I'd be glad to let him have a third of it. (Because as I repeatedly explained to my reluctant husband, "A 100% of zero, is still zero...and 66.6666% of something is still something!") So I met with John at a local Starbucks. Turns out this is his specialty. I signed some papers, he said it would take a few months because Cook County is slow (no surprise there!). And sure enough, a few months later, I got two checks (one for each year) of overpaid property taxes. Just in time for Christmas! Yesterday, John and I met again at the same Starbucks. I signed my checks and handed them over, he cut me a check for my two-thirds, and off I went, my metaphorical wallet feeling nice and heavy! THANK YOU JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

EASY TO WORK WITH, HONEST, AND RELIABLE. Met with John at a Starbucks with needed documentation. You then leave with a couple of forms to fill out and send back to him. Then give him some time. Cook County moves slow as any government agency on the planet possibly can. Especially when it comes to them giving you your money. Anyway, a few months later the checks started rolling in (individually per tax year). Sent John his cut of the action, and the rest is mine. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again for tax year 2013. read more

I have been using this company for a number of years now and couldn't be happier after each interaction I have with them! First, to fight your taxes for you, they ask NOTHING up front. Another company I use to use charged a flat $100 up front for processing fees. They did a good job and all, but who want's to pay the initial $100 to see if they can lower your taxes? When I got the flyer in the mail for The TaxBloom group, it said that they would charge you NOTHING unless they got money back for you and then you would have to pay them 1/3 of the savings for 3 years. With nothing to lose...I had them do this for me and they were able to save me over $3,000! In addition, they noticed that I might have been overpaying for the past 3 years, so they went back to look at my previous filings. Sure enough...I had been overpaying and The Assessor's Office then issued a formal approval of a "Certificate of Error" and sent me 2 checks totaling over $1700. I would have never known this and Cook County would have kept my money. In addition, anytime I have called the office, everyone has been nothing but pleasant, helpful and incredibly nice!! These people are really good people to do business with! I couldn't be happier! read more

This firm has been using an image of my house in their advertising. I told them in no uncertain terms to stop, and they have not. I worry about how they conduct business. read more

Had a good experience with them in 2016, but then they dropped the ball in 2017 after I moved to a new house and contacted them about appealing my new property's taxes. I got an email from them stating they had received my signed agreement (though I was still waiting to get an agreement to sign), and when I told them they said the email was sent in error and blamed it on technical difficulties. I never did receive an agreement to sign and the window to appeal passed. read more

Taxbloom is awesome! John and Christie are both great in what they do. I end up Recieving my property refund very quickly for all the years I've been overcharge. John and Christie are very professional and explained all the process to me. I will be recommending friends, relatives and people I know and as well is my clients to them . Thanks TaxBloom for doing such a great job!!!! read more

I received the TAXBLOOM letter about our overpayment of our property taxes and my husband suggested it was a scam. On a lark (we needed the money) I called and made an appointment to meet with John to give him documentation of our residing in the place where we pay these taxes. It was a pleasure talking to John, I handed over my documents and several months later I received 4 checks with refunds for each year. I can't recommend John and Taxbloom highly enough! read more

TaxBloom is amazing! Quick and easy with no hassle! Staff are super friendly and very helpful! I got a letter from TaxBloom stating I might be entitled to a refund. I gave them a call and they did all the work. They even sent a notary to my house so I didn't have to worry about finding one. Just received my check in the mail from the state and barely had to do anything for it! Thanks again TaxBloom! read more

Tax bloom was wonderful to work with! I had No idea I was able to receive a refund for all the years of property taxes I was over paying. They made this so easy. Communication with them was also fantastic. They kept me updated on everything. read more

A few months ago Tax Bloom sent me a letter stating that Cook County may have over charged me on my property taxes. I was skeptical thought it was a scam, so I ignored the letter. However, a few weeks later I received another letter, so I decided to give them a try. I AM SO GLAD I DID...I was over charged for the past 4 years, therefore I received 4 checks totaling over 5k. Thanks Tax Bloom! read more

Great attention up front but now I cant get anyone to respond to my emails or call with any reliable information. I am worried that I just handed over sensitive information to someone I shouldn't have. read more

I received the letter in the mail and was not sure if the service offer was legitimate. I am glad I hired Tax Bloom to recover my taxes! John keeps the paperwork simple and deals with the Cook County himself. All it takes are two meetings with him at a local coffee shop, and you get cash you would have not otherwise claimed. read more

Tax Bloom saved me over $1,000 annually on my tax bill. The process was painless and the people are pleasant and knowledgeable.

I am very happy with the services at Tax Bloom. Throughout the process, they were informative and upfront. Needless to say, initially, I was hesitant and skeptical. In fact, I proceeded to fill the paperwork but didn't send it in. Tax Bloom called me six months later and pretty much said why aren't you taking advantage of this. So I swallowed my fears and the rest is history. I'm satisfied with my refund. I'm satisfied with the professional service they provided. More importantly, my future property taxes have been lowered, thus putting more money in my pocket. Try them; you won't be disappointed. read more

They helped get the refunds for the excess money that was paid for property taxes. Thank you!!!

Thank you to John Lambros from TaxBloom for his great work on our 2013 Cook County home property taxes. His efforts literally eliminated a proposed 100% year-over-year increase and returned the assessed value of our home to the previous level, SAVING $30k PER YEAR. Wanted to recognize his efforts and professionalism and an outcome which exceeded all expectations. He delivered in a huge way and we could not be more pleased with the process or result. Although skeptical of all the unsolicited service offers received around tax time, I now give John and TaxBloom my highest recommendation based on his straight-forward style, very simple process and huge results. This decision is a no-cost, no-brainer for anyone looking for some property tax relief who has not been able to get it on their own through the standard appeal process. Frankly, I would have been willing to pay much more for the services received as I was pleased to pay what amounts to about 10% of the savings now locked-in for the next three years. read more
