Mar Vista / Del Rey, Los Angeles home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Mar Vista / Del Rey houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Mar Vista and Del Rey are mostly postwar single-story houses on flat Westside lots, with the Gregory Ain modernist tract, view homes on Mar Vista Hill and plenty of new two-story rebuilds in between. I appraise homes here for divorces, estates and buyouts between heirs, and with so many houses being rebuilt, people want a clear current value fast.

What I look at in Mar Vista / Del Rey

  1. 1

    In the Mar Vista Tract, Gregory Ain's late-1940s modernist houses sit in a historic overlay zone, and intact original design is part of the value. I note original windows, layouts and landscaping, and any changes that needed review.

  2. 2

    On many lots here the original house has been replaced by a large modern one, so one street can hold both. I compare your home with sales of the same kind of house rather than whatever sold nearest.

  3. 3

    Garage conversions and new backyard units are common here. I check whether yours is permitted and how it's used, because a legal second unit and an old converted garage are valued very differently.

What to photograph

Photograph the house from the street, the backyard and any ADU inside and out. In the Ain tract, show the original windows, walls and garden. On Mar Vista Hill, capture the view from the main rooms.

Mar Vista / Del Rey questions

Does our permitted ADU in Mar Vista count as extra square footage?
No. I report the ADU apart from the main house, with its own size, kitchen and bath, and compare your property with Mar Vista sales that also have a second unit. A permitted ADU usually adds value, but the amount depends on what Westside buyers have actually paid.
We're splitting up and need a value on our Del Rey house, where do we start?
Agree on the valuation date with your attorneys or mediator, then one of you orders the appraisal and both of you can send photos. I compare your house with recent Del Rey and Mar Vista sales of the same type, original or rebuilt, and explain each adjustment.
When would I get the report for a Mar Vista / Del Rey 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.”
