Nine calculators built around the questions clients actually ask Josh before they are ready to talk to anybody. Each one shows its workings, names its sources, and gives you the whole answer on the page — none of them hold a result back for an email address.
If you are buying
The four questions that decide whether a purchase is possible before they decide whether it is a good idea.
Property Score
A few quick questions, then Josh's own analyzed properties ranked against what you actually said matters — with the arithmetic behind every ranking shown.

NYC Closing Cost Calculator
What you actually wire at closing, itemized — mansion tax, recording tax, title insurance and fees — plus the co-op versus condo gap and the mansion tax cliff.
Open the tool
Would a Co-op Board Approve Me?
The three ratios a co-op board measures before it reads a word of your package: post-closing liquidity, debt-to-income and the building's minimum down payment.
Open the tool
Private & Pre-Market Listings
What access to unlisted inventory actually consists of, what it costs you as a buyer, and the questions that decide whether Josh can genuinely help.

If you are deciding where, or whether
Three comparisons people usually make from a headline figure, run properly instead.
City, Suburb or Florida
What a year actually costs in Manhattan, New Jersey and Florida — income tax, property tax, insurance and sales tax side by side, and the real size of the Florida saving.
Open the tool
Rent or Buy in Manhattan
Not a mortgage payment against a rent cheque. What you would be worth on each path, year by year — and how long you have to stay for buying to win.
Open the tool
Pied-à-Terre Tax Checker
Whether New York City's new non-primary residence surcharge applies to your apartment, what it would cost every year, and what changes the answer.
Open the tool
If you already own something
Two questions owners ask before they decide whether this is the year.
What Is My Manhattan Apartment Worth?
An honest range instead of one number it cannot stand behind — built from published 2Q 2026 submarket data, with the arithmetic shown and the unknowns named.
Open the tool
Should I 1031 This Property?
What you would owe if you simply sold, what you would have to buy to defer all of it, and the two deadlines that decide whether any of it works.
Open the tool
None of these replace the conversation
Every tool on this page is deliberately built to be useful before you contact anybody, and each one is honest about where its answer stops. The things that move a New York number most — what a specific building's board actually does, what the last comparable line really traded for, why a seller is selling — are not in any public dataset. That is the part Josh does.
