Property analysis on a brownstone stoop
01 — Valuation

What is it worth today?

A preliminary market valuation, drawn from current New York and Westchester data. Tell us about the unit — we will return a defensible range, a price-per-square-foot read, and the reasoning behind it.

01The Property

Tell us about the unit.

02The Report

The valuation.

Your estimated value range, price per square foot, and analyst commentary will appear here.

03Broker Price Opinion

A formal broker's opinion of value.

Beyond the instant estimate above, the firm prepares a written Broker Price Opinion — a licensed broker's defensible estimate of market value, built on comparable sales and on-the-ground market knowledge. Faster than an appraisal, and sufficient for most decisions short of a federally regulated loan.

When it's used

Setting a list price

A defensible value range before the property reaches the market — so the asking price is grounded in comps, not hope.

Refinancing & HELOC

Equity decisions where a full appraisal isn't required — or a broker's opinion to support the file before the appraiser arrives.

Board & portfolio advisory

Co-op and condo boards, trustees, and owners who need a current read on a building or a collection of units.

Estate, probate & tax matters

Documented value opinions for estates, divorce, tax appeals, and other matters that ask for a professional's written judgment.

As-is vs. as-completed

For properties under renovation — separate value scenarios for the property today and the property once the work is finished.

Pre-purchase sanity checks

A buyer's second opinion on an asking price or an offer, before the contract is signed.

What our BPO includes

Corrected square-footage analysis

Gross living area reconciled against architectural plans and public records — so the value rests on the right basis.

Multiple value scenarios

As-is, as-completed (near-term), and as-completed (full buildout) where the property is under improvement.

Comparable sales, weighted

Recent closed comparables with neighborhood weighting — not a national AVM, a broker's read of the local market.

Prior-appraisal commentary

Where a prior appraisal exists, a written reconciliation of the discrepancies that matter.

Broker-signed, on the record

Prepared and signed by a NYS Licensed Real Estate Broker — a professional opinion, not an algorithm.

A BPO is not a USPAP appraisal and won't satisfy a federally regulated lender — but for everything else, it's the professional opinion that gets the decision made.
