In today’s market, commercial real estate brokers need more than comps and cap rates to win listings — they need differentiators that move deals.
That’s where Tax Logic™ comes in.
By overlaying proven tax strategies like cost segregation, 179D energy deductions, and R&D credits onto your listings, you can show buyers hidden after-tax ROI that most brokers never even mention.
The result?
Faster sales, stronger offers, and a reputation as the broker who understands how to uncover real value.
💡 The New Language of ROI
Most listings stop at “8% cap rate.”
But sophisticated investors and family offices now ask:
“What’s the after-tax return?”
That’s the Tax Logic™ conversation — and it’s where you stand out.
A building with the same NOI can look completely different on an after-tax basis once depreciation and IRS incentives are factored in.
For example:
- A property that appears to yield 8% on paper could deliver 10–11% after-tax when the buyer leverages accelerated depreciation through cost segregation.
- Add 179D or R&D incentives, and the gap widens further.
That’s the hidden upside — and it’s already built into your listings.
⚙️ How It Works
When you partner with Tax Logic™, you don’t have to become a tax expert.
Here’s the process:
- Send your property details (type, cost basis, square footage).
- We overlay the IRS incentives that apply — cost segregation, 179D, and R&D.
- We provide a simple one-page After-Tax ROI Snapshot you can share with your buyers.
Now your listing doesn’t just show potential income — it shows potential tax recovery.
That’s a different kind of conversation.
🔁 The Three-Lever Advantage
Tax Logic™ is built on three proven levers that change how deals are perceived and priced:
- Cost Segregation – Reclassify components to accelerate depreciation and front-load deductions.
- 179D Energy Deduction – Reward efficiency improvements and sustainability. Learn more about the official IRS Section 179D Commercial Buildings Energy Deduction.
- R&D Tax Credit – Capture innovation and design incentives for owner-occupied or development properties.
When these are layered together, you create what we call a Proof Stack — a documented, IRS-backed set of financial benefits that drive real buyer interest. Also read: Understanding Cost Segregation for Real Estate Investors
🧱 Integrity Wins Deals
There’s a lot of “marketing math” in this business — brokers throwing out inflated claims or unverified numbers.
Tax Logic™ is different. Every figure we present is grounded in IRS-approved methodologies and real engineering data.
You’re not selling hype — you’re selling proof.
That’s what gets investors to move, lenders to engage, and sellers to respect your pitch.
