Los Feliz / Silver Lake, Los Angeles home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Between Los Feliz and Silver Lake you'll find 1920s Spanish homes on the Franklin Hills slopes, mid-century modern houses around the reservoir, and flat streets of Atwater Village bungalows across the river. I appraise homes here for Prop 19 moves into a parent's house, for estates and for owners deciding what to fix before a sale, and few have weeks to wait.

What I look at in Los Feliz / Silver Lake

  1. 1

    Silver Lake has houses by Neutra, Schindler and other modernists, and an architect's name can draw a different set of buyers. I research the home's history and compare it with other architect-designed sales when records support it.

  2. 2

    Atwater Village has 1920s and 1930s Spanish and Tudor bungalows on flat lots, with more yard than most hillside homes. I keep those sales apart from the hills, where the view and the slope set the price.

  3. 3

    Homes facing the Silver Lake Reservoir or looking down on it sell differently from houses a block back. I note what you see from each room and how much traffic the street gets.

What to photograph

Los Feliz / Silver Lake questions

I'm moving into my dad's Silver Lake house, how does Prop 19 affect the taxes?
If you make it your main home and file on time, Prop 19 can let you keep some or all of your father's assessed value. How much depends on the market value on the transfer date, which in Silver Lake often runs far above the old assessment. My appraisal documents that value.
Our Los Feliz house has foundation cracks, will the appraisal count that against us?
I value the house in its actual condition, so cracks, a sagging deck or an old roof are reflected the way a buyer would weigh them. On a hillside lot, an inspection report or repair bids you send show me how serious the problem is.
When would I get the report for a Los Feliz / Silver Lake 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.”
