What is my home actually worth?

Yes. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm provides a free written comparative market analysis to homeowners in South East Queens and the surrounding metro area with no obligation to list with us. You keep the analysis whatever you decide to do next.

Generally no. Automated estimates work from ZIP-level data and public records that frequently misstate legal unit count, condition and lot particulars — all of which vary sharply from block to block in South East Queens. We have seen automated estimates miss by well over ten percent in both directions on the same street.

The address is enough to start. From there we pull closed comparables, the Certificate of Occupancy, DOB permit and violation history and the FEMA flood designation ourselves. A short walkthrough lets us assess condition, which is the factor public records never capture.

We can usually give you an initial range within a couple of business days, and the full written analysis after a walkthrough. If you are on a deadline, tell us and we will work to it.

Yes, and we do. If the numbers say hold, refinance, or let the property instead, you will hear that — including for investment property, where Jortevsky Real Estate Firm will run net sale proceeds against realistic net rental income before recommending either.

Yes. For income property we produce two numbers: a comparable-sales valuation and an income-based valuation built from the documented rent roll and a full expense load. Those figures can differ substantially, and you should see both before deciding anything.
