Free Instant Home Value
Soldano Realty
What Is My Home Worth?
An instant estimate to start. A broker's number to rely on.
Get an automated estimate in a few seconds, then a real value range built from the actual closings that compare to your property. We sell houses, two to four families, mixed use buildings, co-ops, and condos across Bay Ridge and the surrounding neighborhoods.
· Every sale we cite is published, with the address and the closing price.
Step one
Start with an instant estimate
Enter your address and where to send it. The estimate lands in a few seconds.
An automated estimate is a fast way to get in the right neighborhood of a number. It is built from public records and recent sales, and it is a fine place to start. It is not where you should stop, and the next section explains why.
That is a computer's guess. Here is a broker's number.
The estimate you just got has never been inside your home. It does not know what you renovated, what your maintenance covers, what your building's flip tax is, or what the apartment two floors down actually closed at last month. It produces a number and cannot show you where the number came from.
We can. Tell us the property type and we will send you a real value range built from the closed sales that genuinely compare: the same line in the same building, or the same house type on the same blocks. Not a neighborhood average. You get a number you can defend, and the sales it rests on.
Daniel will pull the closings that compare and come back to you personally, usually within one business day. Prefer to talk now? Call 718-333-5233.
Why the estimate misses
The number that matters depends on what you own
An automated estimate treats every property the same. Four property types, four different reasons it is off.
Co-op
This is where an automated estimate is least reliable, and where most of Bay Ridge lives. Value depends on the building, the line, the floor, the maintenance, the flip tax, and the share count, and none of those are visible to a public records model. We sell in the Shore Road buildings constantly and price on the specific line, not the block.
Condo
Closer to an apartment a model can read, but the common charges, the tax abatement status, and the right of first refusal all move the number and the buyer pool. A recent sale in your building is worth more than a hundred neighborhood comps.
House
Two houses four streets apart are not comparables, and an appraiser will not treat them as such. Condition, the certificate of occupancy, open violations, and the exact block all move the price in ways an average cannot capture. We price on the block.
Two to four family
Valued on what it earns, not only on what the house next door sold for. The rent roll, the leases, and whether a unit is vacant at closing can move the price meaningfully, and an investor and an owner occupant will pay different numbers for the same building.
Houses and multi family homes are about a quarter of what we sell by count and more than half of it by dollar volume. If you own one, an automated estimate is the least useful number you will get all year.
The number comes from real closings

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the instant estimate accurate?
It is a starting point, not an answer. An automated estimate is built from public records and averages, and it has never been inside your home. In Bay Ridge it is least reliable exactly where the market is thickest: co-ops, where value depends on the building, the line, the maintenance, and the board. Use it to get in the right range, then let us give you a value built from the closed sales that genuinely compare, with those sales shown to you.
Why do you ask for my email before showing the estimate?
So we can send it to you and, if you want it, follow up with a real broker's valuation. Your address and email stay with Soldano Realty. We do not sell your information, and there is no obligation to list.
Does this work for a co-op?
Yes. The automated estimate is weakest for co-ops, which is exactly why the broker valuation matters most there. We sell in the Shore Road buildings constantly and price on your specific line and floor, adjusted for maintenance, the flip tax, and the board, not a neighborhood average.
How do you decide on a price?
We pull the closed sales that genuinely compare. For a co-op that means the same line, or the closest line, in the same building, adjusted for floor, condition, and maintenance. For a house it means the same house type on the same blocks. For a two to four family it means the income as well as the comparable sales. Then we look at what is currently on the market against you, and we tell you what we think you will get, not what you want to hear.
What does it cost to sell in New York City?
Real estate commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Beyond the brokerage fee, sellers generally encounter attorney fees, New York City and New York State transfer taxes, and, for a co-op, a flip tax and move out fees set by the building. We give you a written estimate of your net proceeds before you list, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
What if I am just curious and not ready to sell?
That is fine, and it is common. A lot of the people we talk to are a year or two from selling and want to understand the number and the process first. There is no pressure to list, and if the right answer is to wait, that is the advice you will get.
Real estate commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Sellers will receive and sign a written listing agreement setting out the scope of the work, the term, and how compensation is handled.
Ready for the real number?
In the office, over the phone, or on a video call. We will talk through what your home is likely to sell for, what it will cost you, and what the process looks like from here. No obligation, and no pressure to list.
