Los Feliz / Griffith Park, Los Angeles home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Los Feliz / Griffith Park houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Los Feliz sits right against Griffith Park, with 1920s Spanish revival homes and duplexes in the flats along Vermont and Hillhurst and large hillside houses climbing toward the Observatory and the Greek Theatre. I appraise Los Feliz homes for heirs, often as of a date that has already passed, and for trusts and estates that need a value before anything else can move.

What I look at in Los Feliz / Griffith Park

  1. 1

    In Laughlin Park and the hills above Los Feliz Boulevard, big 1920s houses sit on terraced lots with gates, long drives and city views. Sales are few, so I explain every comparison in detail.

  2. 2

    On the streets that end at Griffith Park, homes back right up to brush. I look at defensible space, roof and vent condition, and the view, since buyers weigh fire exposure against the setting.

  3. 3

    Down in the flats, 1920s Spanish duplexes and fourplexes are common, and many have rent-stabilized tenants. I value them on their rents as well as on sales, and I note original tile, plaster and windows.

What to photograph

Photograph the house from the street, the gate and driveway, the terraces and the view toward the city or the Observatory. Inside, capture original tile, beamed ceilings, plaster and fireplaces. Show the brush line if your lot borders the park.

Los Feliz / Griffith Park questions

Can you appraise my mother's Los Feliz home as of the day she passed last year?
Yes. A date-of-death appraisal looks back, using sales that closed around that date rather than today's. If the house has changed since, pictures from back then help me describe it as it was. For a Los Feliz house held for decades, that value usually sets the heirs' new tax basis.
We inherited a house near Griffith Park, and one sibling wants to keep it, now what?
Start with one appraisal everyone trusts. I value the house as of the date of death or a current date, whichever the trust or your attorney needs, and the sibling who keeps it can buy out the others' shares from that number.
When would I get the report for a Los Feliz / Griffith Park 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.”
