Fairfax / Miracle Mile, Los Angeles home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Fairfax / Miracle Mile houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Fairfax and the Miracle Mile are streets of 1920s and 1930s Spanish revival duplexes and houses, with condos tucked in between and Wilshire's museums a short walk away. I appraise homes here after a parent dies, when heirs inherit a duplex with a tenant upstairs, or when an owner wants to know where they stand before selling, and these jobs rarely wait.

What I look at in Fairfax / Miracle Mile

  1. 1

    Many streets here are lined with Spanish revival duplexes, one unit up and one down. I value them as two-unit properties and ask about rents, since units built before 1978 usually fall under the city's rent stabilization rules.

  2. 2

    In Carthay Circle, a historic overlay zone limits exterior changes, and buyers pay for intact tile, arched windows and original wood floors. I note what survives in your photos and what has been redone.

  3. 3

    Homes near Fairfax, La Brea, Wilshire or the traffic around the Grove trade differently from quiet interior blocks. I match them with similar sales and note whether you park in a garage or on the street.

What to photograph

Photograph every room in both units of a duplex, plus the separate entrances, the garage and the shared yard. Get the original tile, arched doorways, wood floors and any updated kitchen, and show the street in front.

Fairfax / Miracle Mile questions

We inherited Mom's duplex near the Miracle Mile, how is a duplex appraised?
I compare it with recent sales of other Miracle Mile duplexes, and I look at the rents both units bring in. A unit with a long-term tenant paying a low rent affects what buyers will pay, so send me the leases along with photos of both units.
How fast can I get an appraisal for a house in Fairfax?
Once you've paid and sent photos, I email the finished appraisal within 24 hours, any day of the week. The photos usually take the longest, and for a Fairfax duplex I need both units, so give the tenant notice early.
When would I get the report for a Fairfax / Miracle Mile home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
