About

Cost Seg Building is published by John Murphy. I am an independent contractor with CSSI, LLC. Additionally, I am also an independent contractor and licensed real estate broker associate in SC and MN with eXp Realty LLC. All information expressed here is my own.

I have been involved with real estate for nearly 20 years and have been a Realtor since 2003 and licensed broker since 2007. Prior to moving to Greenville, I was the broker-in-charge supervising 375 agents for eXp Realty.

I got involved in cost segregation a number of years ago in a passive way making connections for building owners with cost seg specialists who could help them save money on their taxes. Four years ago I decided that there was a lot more people I could help if I focused on it. Plus I really enjoy the challenge and variety of the work.

While I’m based in Greenville, SC, I work all over the country with building owners to help them maximize their tax deductions saving them thousands of dollars in income tax. I work directly with building owners and investors but also through a great network of commercial real estate agents, brokers, insurance agents, Realtors, CPAs and other tax professionals.

The concept behind Cost Seg Building is that there is a lot of education that needs to occur particularly in the commercial building space for small to mid-sized owners. On the residential investment side, we are seeing some awareness but not nearly enough. There also is a lot of misunderstanding about cost segregation. My hope is this site will provide excellent insight and education to help building owners understand the value of cost segregation and to see how they might benefit from it financially.
