Steve Traudt
Real Estate Specialty Services Director
Steve Traudt helps businesses realize the lowest defensible tax liability for their commercial real estate. Property tax expense is typically the largest recurring annual expense category for a commercial property owner or tenant. Managing that expense is imperative to Wipfli LLP clients’ bottom line, and it is extremely important in keeping a property competitive for existing and prospective tenants. Steve has been providing business efficiency services to commercial real estate owners and users by reducing the assessed values of individual properties and portfolios. His primary geographic concentration is in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Colorado, as well as Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, Oklahoma, New York, and Tennessee.
