Mid-City / Country Club Park, Los Angeles home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Mid-City / Country Club Park houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Mid-City and Country Club Park have big 1910s and 1920s Craftsman, Tudor and Mediterranean houses, along with blocks of Spanish duplexes and bungalows between Pico and Washington. I appraise homes here for heirs who often live far away, for trusts, and for owners deciding whether to sell an older house as is, and they usually need it soon.

What I look at in Mid-City / Country Club Park

  1. 1

    Country Club Park and Lafayette Square are historic overlay zones with large early houses. I note original woodwork, leaded glass and staircases, and whether the house is still one home or was split into units over the years.

  2. 2

    Many Mid-City houses are about a century old. I look for updated wiring, plumbing, foundation work and roofs in your photos, because buyers price a big old house by what it still needs.

  3. 3

    The 10 freeway runs through Mid-City, and homes beside it or facing Pico, Venice or Washington sell differently from tree-lined side streets. I pick comparable sales with the same kind of exposure.

What to photograph

Photograph the porch and facade, the entry hall and staircase, woodwork, leaded or stained glass, and fireplaces. Show every unit if the house was divided, plus any basement, the roof, the electrical panel and the garage.

Mid-City / Country Club Park questions

I live in Chicago and inherited Grandma's house in Mid-City, how do I get it appraised?
You don't have to travel. Ask a neighbor, a contractor or a local agent to walk through with a phone, photographing every room, the outside and the yard, then send the pictures to me. With those, the county records and recent sales nearby, I value the house as of the date of death.
Should we restore our old Country Club Park house before selling, or sell as is?
That decision is yours, but an as-is appraisal shows where you stand today. I value the house in its current condition against other unrestored historic homes, and restoration in an overlay zone can take time and review. Some buyers want a Country Club Park house to restore themselves.
When would I get the report for a Mid-City / Country Club 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.”
