Our Team

Amy Hoppe is the Vice President of the firm. Undoubtedly, her last name is recognizable by the firm’s name. Her father, Harley Hoppe, is not only a former King County Assessor, but the founder of the firm. Amy began working at the firm from the onset.

Her knowledge began in-part from learning hands-on from her father, which proved to be invaluable insight of the Assessor’s office.  In addition, Amy has advanced her knowledge by taking numerous real estate appraisal classes and continuing education classes. Various commercial agencies have had her speak publicly regarding property tax appeals for both commercial and residential property owners and or management companies.

Amy has been a guest on local talk radio shows regarding how to appeal property taxes.  Her father instilled in her the importance of providing their clients with strong customer service and thus she has followed this not only for herself but with her staff.

Dale Hockenson is the newest member of the team. His prior background was in the financial industry and construction sales. The knowledge in both of these areas helped him understand the costs to construct newer properties, both for residential and commercial properties.

His expertise in the financial industry assists our commercial clients develop projections and budgets for future property tax liabilities.  His knowledge also translates to the success he has before the County Board by providing a strong income analysis of the property under appeal.
