Residential Home Sales in South East Queens
Jortevsky Real Estate Firm sells one- to three-family houses, co-ops and condos throughout South East Queens and the wider NYC metro area. Every listing is priced from block-level closed comparables, prepared before it goes live, professionally photographed, and syndicated across the RLS and the major portals.
The short version
What this actually involves
Most homes in South East Queens are mispriced at launch, and the cost of that shows up three months later as a stale listing and a reduction. We price from what has actually closed on and around your block, adjusted for the things that genuinely move value here — legal unit count, lot size, condition, Certificate of Occupancy status, flood designation and transit proximity — and then we prepare and market the property to match the number.
Full-service listing and sale of single-family homes, two- and three-family houses, co-ops and condos, with pricing built from block-level comparable sales rather than borough averages.
What you get
- Written comparative market analysis built from closed sales, not asking prices
- Pre-market walkthrough with a specific, costed list of what is worth doing and what is not
- Professional photography, floor plans and video
- RLS syndication plus StreetEasy, Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin exposure
- Certificate of Occupancy, permit and violation review before launch
- Weekly written reporting on showings, feedback and buyer activity
- Offer analysis comparing net proceeds and closing probability, not just headline price
Process
How the engagement runs
- Step 01
Valuation
We walk the property, pull closed comparables on and around your block, review the Certificate of Occupancy and DOB records, and give you a written price range with the reasoning behind it. This is free and carries no obligation to list with us.
- Step 02
Preparation
We identify the specific work that will return more than it costs — and tell you plainly which projects will not. Then we schedule photography, floor plans and video so the listing launches complete rather than being improved after the fact.
- Step 03
Launch and marketing
The listing goes live across the RLS and every major portal at once, supported by direct outreach to our buyer database and the agents who are actively working your neighborhood. The first two weeks generate the most qualified traffic a listing will ever see, so nothing is left unfinished at launch.
- Step 04
Offers and negotiation
We present every offer with an analysis of net proceeds, financing strength and the realistic probability of closing. The highest number is not always the best offer, and we will say so when it is not.
- Step 05
Contract to closing
We coordinate with your attorney, the buyer's lender, the appraiser and the title company, and we chase the items — survey, C of O, open permits, violations — that most often delay a Queens closing.

Answers
Questions about residential sales
How much does it cost to sell a house with Jortevsky Real Estate Firm?
Commission is agreed in writing before you list, and it covers the full service described on this page — photography, floor plans, video, syndication, marketing and the transaction management through closing. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm does not charge separately for listing preparation or marketing materials. Call (516) 668-6031 and we will quote your specific property.
How do you price a home in South East Queens?
From closed sales on and around your block, adjusted for legal unit count, lot size, condition, Certificate of Occupancy status, flood designation and transit access. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm does not price off ZIP-code averages or automated online estimates, both of which are unreliable in a borough where value can change materially from one block to the next.
What should I fix before selling my house?
Less than most sellers expect. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm walks the property before listing and gives you a costed list of the items that will return more than they cost — usually paint, decluttering, lighting and specific repairs — along with the projects that will not pay for themselves. Full kitchen and bathroom renovations rarely return their cost in a sale.
How long will my home be on the market?
A correctly priced and properly prepared South East Queens home typically goes to contract within weeks, though higher price bands such as Jamaica Estates run longer by nature. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm gives you a realistic written timeline at listing rather than an optimistic one you will be disappointed by.
Do you sell co-ops and condos as well as houses?
Yes. Alongside one- to three-family houses, Jortevsky Real Estate Firm handles co-op and condo sales across Queens, including board package preparation for co-op transactions — the stage where inexperienced representation most often costs a seller their deal.

Other things we handle
Most clients use us for more than one of these over time — which is the argument for a full-service firm rather than a specialist.
