When Ms. Blanc is not in the throes of practicing law, you can find her playing the piano or singing on Facebook, painting a petite tableau for some charitable event, or deep into code development. Some of her notable initiatives in the code space involve leading a team of software developers to build a proprietary software using her algorithms to discover over assessments of property by taxing authorities. Launched in 2014 Real Estate Tax Master, LLC has served as a case management software and analytic tool for Assurance Legal’s property tax appeal clients. From 2017 to 2023 our firm helped taxpayers capture half a millions dollars in tax savings with 276 cases filed.

Here is a list of a few code projects which demonstrates Ms. Blanc’s commitment to building technologies which help advance consumer protection, empower real estate developers and legal professionals by creating automation and efficient workflows. Currently under development, she has designed the intelligence for Condo Prospector by Raven, LLC, an app that helps real estate developers and consumers determine distressed condo associations, Estate Builder, a wealth preservation, medicaid planning, and asset protection tool. As a result of these endeavors Ms. Blanc has emerged as a data scientist and junior Python app developer.
