Most People Overpay Property Taxes—Here’s How to Fix It with Colton Pace

Colton Pace explains why most property tax bills are wrong—and how homeowners and investors can reduce expenses without upfront risk.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Colton Pace, co-founder of Ownwell, breaks down one of the most overlooked wealth drains in real estate: property taxes that go unquestioned year after year.

Colton shares how his experience working with a multi-billion-dollar family office revealed a massive gap between how institutions manage real estate and how everyday owners do. That insight led to Ownwell—a platform designed to help homeowners and investors optimize their largest recurring expenses, including property taxes, insurance, utilities, and refinancing.

We dive into how property tax appeals actually work, why most assessments are inaccurate, and how Ownwell’s contingency-only model removes downside risk. Colton also shares real stories—from retirees nearly priced out of their homes to investors receiving massive tax refunds—along with lessons on delegation, scaling teams, and where AI truly helps (and where humans are still required).

If you own real estate and don’t actively manage your expenses, this episode could save you real money.
