Why Westchester County sellers and buyers work with us
In southern Westchester, the school district line and the walk to the Metro-North station explain more of the price difference between two similar houses than the houses themselves do. District boundaries do not always follow municipal boundaries, so a street can sit in a different district from the one a buyer assumes — something worth verifying against the district itself rather than a listing description. Property taxes are high relative to New York City and vary sharply between municipalities, which means the monthly carrying cost, not the purchase price, is usually the real constraint on what a buyer can do. Our Westchester work concentrates in the southern county — Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Pelham and Scarsdale — which is where clients moving north out of the Bronx and Queens most often land, and where the Harlem and New Haven Metro-North lines make the commute workable.

Answers
Questions about real estate in Westchester County
Does Jortevsky Real Estate Firm work in Westchester County?
Yes. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm is licensed in New York State and represents buyers and sellers in southern Westchester County, including Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Pelham, Eastchester and Scarsdale. Call (516) 668-6031 for a free consultation.
How do I confirm which school district a Westchester home is in?
Verify it with the school district directly rather than relying on a listing description, because district boundaries in Westchester do not always follow municipal lines and a single street can be split. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm confirms the district for the specific parcel before you make an offer, since in southern Westchester the district is often the largest single component of the price difference between two comparable homes.
Are Westchester property taxes high?
Yes, and they vary sharply between municipalities and districts. In much of southern Westchester the annual tax bill is a larger constraint on affordability than the purchase price itself. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm pulls the actual current tax figures for each property you are considering so you are comparing full monthly carrying costs, not asking prices.
Is it worth moving from Queens to Westchester?
For families prioritising a particular school district and more space it often is, provided the higher annual tax load is planned for. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm works both markets, so we will put a South East Queens option and a southern Westchester option side by side with real tax, commute and carrying-cost figures rather than making the case for either.
How much is my house in Westchester County worth?
Jortevsky Real Estate Firm prepares a free written comparative market analysis for southern Westchester homeowners from recent closed sales in your municipality and school district, adjusted for lot size, condition, and walking distance to the nearest Metro-North station — a factor that carries real, measurable value in this market.
Which Westchester areas does Jortevsky Real Estate Firm cover?
We concentrate on southern Westchester: Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Pelham, Eastchester and Scarsdale, served by the Harlem and New Haven Metro-North lines. We also cover South East Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island City and Nassau County.

Also looking at Nassau County?
Nassau County sits next to Westchester County and trades differently. We cover both, so a search that widens does not mean starting over with a new brokerage.
