New blog post: Rent Controlled Property Appraisal In NYC

A rent controlled property appraisal is a formal opinion of a regulated building’s value, prepared by a licensed appraiser who prices the income the property can legally collect, not what it could earn at open market rents. In NYC that gap is large, and it drives the number. If you own, inherited, or are lending […]

New blog post: Why Public Records And Actual Square Footage Often Don’t Match In NYC

In New York City, the square footage in public records almost never matches what an appraiser measures on site, and the gap is usually bigger than people expect. The reason is simple. The city’s tax records, an old offering plan, and a broker’s listing each came from a different source, used a different method, and […]

New blog post: Alternate Valuation Date Vs. Date Of Death Appraisal In NYC

A date of death appraisal sets what a property was worth on the day the owner died. The alternate valuation date sets what it was worth six months later. Most New York estates only ever need the first one. The second is an option a small number of taxable estates can elect, and only when […]

New blog post: What Is Gift Tax Appraisal (IRS Form 709) Used For?

A gift tax appraisal is a dated, written opinion of what a property is worth, used to back up the value you report to the IRS when real estate changes hands by gift or at death. It puts a defensible number on the return, and that number decides whether tax is owed, how much, and […]

New blog post: What Is A Date Of Death Appraisal (IRS Form 706) Used For?

Most families in New York get this backwards. They assume a date of death appraisal only matters when the estate is large enough to owe federal estate tax. With the 2026 federal exemption set at $15 million per person under the One Big Beautiful Bill signed in July 2025, almost no estate owes that tax. […]
