Company Background
Ownwell helps property owners reduce the costs of owning real estate. Our proprietary software automatically identifies property owners that are overpaying on real estate expenses. We then manage the end-to-end process of reducing bills through tax appeals, exemptions, and corrections.
Over $40 billion is overpaid in property taxes every year, and inaccurate tax assessments disproportionately affect people of color, immigrants, as well as low-income communities.
We’re dedicated to making the costs of property ownership more transparent and equitable. We believe that regardless of status or level of real estate expertise, everyone should have access to the information, tools, and resources to manage their real estate with confidence.
Ownwell is well-funded and venture-backed by some of the best investors in the world. Our customer base has grown by more than 1000% year-over-year with exceptional feedback demonstrating clear product market fit. We are looking for driven and passionate team members who thrive in a collaborative, positive culture where we all win together. If this sounds like the place for you, come help us change the way everyday homeowners manage their real estate across the country.

What We Do
We are a fast-growing, mission-driven company dedicated to making the costs of property ownership more fair and equitable. Regardless of real estate expertise or financial status, everyone should have access to the information, tools, and resources to manage real estate like a professional.
Today, Ownwell's software identifies property owners that are overpaying on their property taxes and uses automation to earn them reductions on their tax bills. Our software identifies which property owners can save money through our service, and automatically generates short-form real estate appraisals to support a tax reduction.
Studies show that inaccurate property valuations disproportionately affect people of color and lower-income property owners, and contribute to social and economic inequalities.
