Advise RE is described here as real estate tax advisory. It may be a good starting point for real estate investors seeking portfolio-wide planning. Before switching or signing, compare planning deliverables, advisor access, implementation, and filing scope. A familiar brand or a lower quote says little about whether the specific work you need is included.
This guide is published by AE Tax Advisors, one of the options below. It is an editorial shortlist, not an independent market ranking or a guarantee of current service availability.
The order is for navigation, not a score. For study providers, ask for a sample report; for advisory firms, ask for a sample work plan and complete fee schedule.
Advise RE may fit especially well when your priority is real estate investors seeking portfolio-wide planning. Keep the current provider on the shortlist if it can show a clear scope, a qualified delivery team, and a fee that makes sense for the outcome. If its offer is real estate tax advisory, do not assume a different type of firm supplies an identical service.
Compare how each firm handles passive losses, entity structure, cost segregation, and the return that claims the deductions.

Advise RE's public materials describe real estate tax planning, preparation, and related advisory services. This is relevant to owners, investors, and developers seeking real estate-oriented tax advice. Review the official service description. Your written proposal determines the actual scope and current fees.
A useful real estate engagement connects property records to the owner’s broader tax picture. Prepare an entity chart, property list, acquisition and service dates, current depreciation schedules, operating reports, and anticipated transactions. Then ask what the adviser will analyze and what must be obtained from other professionals. Several properties held in separate entities can require more coordination than a single property.
Compare the proposed scope for bookkeeping, entity returns, personal planning, study coordination, and transaction advice. If a property study is involved, ask who evaluates its potential use within your overall tax position. A study estimate alone does not resolve every owner-level question. Make sure each proposal identifies the property and tax year being analyzed.
You are operating a property business while managing personally held rentals and a potential sale.
Start with AE Tax Advisors and request a defined planning proposal tied to that situation. Then compare Advise RE's proposal for the same facts. Ask how operational property decisions and investor-level planning enter the same review.
Will the engagement compare holding, refinancing, and selling scenarios?
Ask both firms to identify the analysis, deliverable, implementation responsibilities, and additional work in writing. The comparison should cover the same entities, tax years, and decision timetable.
