What the letter covers

The comparable sales, listed

Each recorded sale used, with its transfer date, price and NYC record, chosen as close to the date of death as the market allows.

The adjustments, in plain words

Size, floor, condition and terms against the subject, so the reasoning can be checked line by line.

Co-op specifics

The building's recent sales, how the board process and Local Law 58 timing affect a sale, and the questions to put to the managing agent.

What it is and is not

A comparative market analysis by a licensed associate real estate broker. Not an appraisal, and not tax or legal advice. If the estate needs a certified appraisal, the letter says so.

Date-of-death value letter

Sample layout. The comparable sales are real recorded sales; the subject apartment and estate are placeholders.
