The Agent Who Knows the Tax Side.
Houston real estate agent and Texas Registered Property Tax Consultant, TDLR #13690.
Sell your Houston property with the agent who knows the tax side
I'm Charos Peña, a licensed Texas real estate agent. I'm also a Texas Registered Property Tax Consultant (TDLR Reg. #13690), which most agents are not. In Houston, buyers shop the monthly payment, and property tax is a big part of it. I price your property with that in mind, answer the tax questions buyers and their lenders ask, and sell it.

Why the tax side helps you sell
Pricing with the full picture
I look at the sales comps and at how the appraisal district values your property, so the list price holds up when buyers and appraisers check it.
Answers buyers need
Buyers ask what the taxes will be after they buy. Your exemptions don't transfer to them, and the value can reset. I explain it clearly so it doesn't stall the deal.
Owners of commercial and rental property
For business owners and investors I also handle value protests and business personal property renditions, and I'm the agent when it's time to sell.
Harris County tax dates for business and investment owners
| April 15 | Business personal property renditions are due. Starting with the 2026 tax year, up to $125,000 of business personal property per location is exempt, so only businesses above that at a location have to render. Late renditions can carry a 10% penalty. |
| May 15 | Deadline to protest your appraised value, or 30 days after the date on your notice if that's later. Your deadline is printed on the notice. |
| Any time | To have a consultant protest for you, you sign the Comptroller's Form 50-162 (Appointment of Agent for Property Tax Matters). |

Questions
Do you guarantee a lower value?
No. No consultant can promise an outcome. I review the evidence and tell you plainly whether a protest is worth filing.
Do you handle homestead protests?
My tax work focuses on commercial, business personal property and investment property. For homeowners, I help with what usually matters most: selling for the right price. Get a free home value estimate.
