The Platform

It starts with an address.

Most brokerages start with an opinion. We start with the record — every one the city keeps, read and reconciled before the first conversation.

1

What you’re seeing.

Every line on this card comes from the city’s own records — deeds, permits, tax, violations — read together and checked against each other. Nothing here is estimated or opinion.

2

What the full report opens.

The numbers behind each locked line — the city’s valuation of this property, the estimated tax bill, every recorded sale, every permit and violation. The full file, not a brochure.

3

What comes after.

When you want the number — what it’s worth, what it would rent for — an advisor prepares it and walks you through it. That part is a conversation, not a form.

What Follows

What we do with what we know.

01

Price it.

Underwriting reads the same record a lender will — income, expenses, and where the market is actually moving. The number is a position: it should invite the right buyers and protect your leverage.

The advisor’s call · the strategy behind the number
02

Present it.

An architectural read of the space decides how its quality becomes legible — what gets staged, how it is photographed, what the collateral says and refuses to say. Every impression is intentional.

The advisor’s call · what the property should say first
03

Reach it.

Distribution runs from day one, not week three — syndication across the listing networks, a dedicated page for the property, and direct outreach to the brokers who matter for this asset.

The advisor’s call · who sees it first
04

Close it.

The legal path is cleared before an offer exists — structure, disclosures, and timing anticipated early, so nothing stalls between the accepted offer and the closing table.

The advisor’s call · every term crosses a desk
The engine assembles. The advisor decides.
We Publish What We See
The YCRE Edit
Q1 2026 · The first quarter, read closely.

Our market intelligence isn’t a private claim — each quarter we publish it: borough-level data across sales and rentals, the luxury top 10%, and the stories that shaped the market.

Record categories · every property

Deeds, permits, zoning, violations, tax — every record the city keeps, read and reconciled.

5
Disciplines · one roof

Development and finance, design, marketing, legal, and intelligence — working from one table.

Every
Comparable · source-verified

Each comparable carries its source. Anything unverifiable is excluded.

Selling a property well requires more than a listing agent. It requires the disciplines that go into building one — and we keep all of them in-house.

The process should feel as refined as the property itself.
