Seattle Startup, Value Appeal, Launches
July 1st, 2009 | property records | real estate | Seattle | startup technology development | tax | UI design | usability | web design | web development
Our Lead Technologist, Matt Willis, has partnered up with Charlie Walsh to help found ValueAppeal. A site that helps home owners evaluate and challenge their property taxes.
Property taxes are expensive, and with the fall in housing prices across the nation, your taxes are more likely than ever to have been assessed unfairly in relation to other homes in your area. 
That can add up to hundreds and thousands of dollars in overpayment each year–and the problem is, most people won’t see a refund unless they speak up.
We architected a service that allows people to simply enter their address and we analyze and make a suggested evaluation on a fair tax evaluation.
If the user chooses to move on there is a series of tools they use to select their comparables and create their argument.
The site is developed on the .NET platform and aggregates data from various property data sources into SQL Server where it is compiled and analyzed.

Save On Your Property Taxes - web development
March 20th, 2009 | API integration | Google maps | property records | real estate | Seattle | startup technology development | web design | web development
Switch Development and ValueAppeal have partnered up to provide a quick and easy way for home owners to evaluate whether or not their property tax valuations are accurate. We believe homeowners are at a disadvantage when it comes to challenging their property tax valuations. ValueAppeal levels the playing field by providing and analyzing property data so our customers don’t have to.
The technology searches public records and finds comparable homes to yours that sold for less than your assessment. Then it helps the user define the appropriate information and evidence to submit an appeal. We expect an Alpha release in early May.
More coming soon…
AT&T U-verse - Yahoo Maps API
February 27th, 2009 | API integration | Redmond | web development | Yahoo Maps
Leveraging the Yahoo Maps API we created a zip code look up tool to analyze AT&T U-verse coverage for individuals. Because we needed full zip codes (i.e. 98101-3232), and most people do not know their zip+4, we used the Yahoo API to have it normalize the address. This allowed us to effectively guage coverage at a smaller fidelity.
The service is only available to internal teams however we would be more than happy to show a demo in person.

Media Center Gadget - Vista gadget development
January 3rd, 2009 | analytics | entertainment | Redmond | Vista gadget development | web development
We developed a new Vista gadget that connects to a live feed and calculates a real-time count of how many unique users are using Windows™ Media Center. The gadget acts as a counter for the internal team to monitor subscriptions and their product’s use.
In addition we implemented a flyout that provides additional statistics for the team to access at any time from the gadget itself.
Client Commentary
I can't speak highly enough about Switch Development and their work as our technology partner. It is quite rare to find a person that is as talented with usability and design as well as middle tier and back end technology.
