"That's amazing" and "too good to be true" are the two comments i hear in almost every conversation I have with someone about @pricelift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The concept, work completed, and results are amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This North Hollywood home was damaged by a fire and initially valued at $450,000. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pricelift remodeled the kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, added windows, siding to the exterior, and an accessory dwelling unit. The updates increased the value by $400,000.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The home sold at a record breaking price in just one week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The homeowner walked away with an extra $250k+ and went from overwhelmed to excited about his new possibilities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pricelift makes money with the homeseller when the property sells which motivates them to keep up with the great work. In addition, their cash outlay decreases when partnering with a homeseller as opposed to buying outright. Making it a win-win for everyone involved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever wanted to flip a property? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does it sound too good to be true to you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When new homeowners ask where they should spend their money to increase or upkeep the value of their home purchase. Here's what I tell them..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Invest in updated furniture, rugs and art that compliments the home and appeals to the neighborhood buyer. If you are unsure of how to style your house - hire an interior designer or put together pieces you like with a mood board and you can see how they go together prior to buying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@ddinteriors was a monumentous help for Kevin and I - we did not have a style we could agree on. She has an excellent eye and was able to help us find a style we both liked. I would highly recommend using her!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Invest in the details. Kitchen, bathroom cabinetry hardware and lighting updates will change the look and feel of the room and will not break the budget. Floor trim and door moulding are two other easy and inexpensive ways to enhance the appeal of the property.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have a larger sum of money to spend -adding an accessory dwelling unit/guest house will normally provide the most return on your dollar invested. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please note, your neighborhood may not yet have a reference point for appraisers to properly appraise the value of the ADU, so ensure you use an agent that you are confident will work with the appraiser to get the value it deserves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know?.....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's 224 neighborhoods in Los Angeles city- each has their own unique attraction and pricing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within the 1.89 mile area that is West Hollywood - you will find 10 different neighborhoods with different cultures, ways of living, pricing and styles that appeals to those individuals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a real estate agent, investor, buyer, or seller it's impossible to have up to the minute info on every neighborhood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's some tried and true methods to ensure that you do not overpay or underprice any property.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Drive to the homes that are being used as comps - pay attention to street and lot differences. If their lot sizes or streets look better - know that will have an impact on your properties pricing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Spend time at a local park or coffee shop to get to know the people that live in the area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Pay attention to the style of the property that you are selling or buying. Does it match the neighborhood's vibe? Yes, increases the value. No decreases the value of the property.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favorite LA Neighborhood? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We love fall festival season! It's the beginning of five holidays and a VIP birthday we get to celebrate with new activities, decorating, festivals, fun foods, and presents (giving and receiving 😁)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We get to review what we accomplished this year and set goals for the next year. (yes, I have Abby set goals too - her’s were celebrating failures, and learning to read)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And contrary to my pre-realtor conception that “no one bought or sold real estate during this time” I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that this is/has been our second busiest time of the year :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below your favorite fall festival -we love exploring new areas! Last year our favorites were Mila and Emma's at Platform, Underwood Farm, and Shawn's pumpkin patch. We are excited to check out Mr Bone's Boo-tique patch @platform this year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Last month our buyers received hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs and buyer credits due to thorough inspections and our negotiation skills. We assist our buyers in finding inspectors that we know are thorough and help them set up on a plan to make any repairs/updates desired. .
Our sellers did great too! One of the sellers we represented received a record breaking price for their sale and the other seller received a great amount for his location and layout. Both were very pleased with our communication, marketing and profits!
.
If you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell real estate in southern california, send them our way - they will thank you!

I did not know until I became a realtor (that asks a lot of questions to appraisers ) ....Appraisers do not follow definitive price points in several areas of an appraisal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently we represented a buyer in purchasing a home that had renters in it. The property had been remodeled approximately 4 years ago with a new kitchen, bathroom, roof and windows. BUT the renters that were living in it were not clean at all - like layers of grease on the wall, counters and oven and way too much stuff in the house and out in the yard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The appraiser knocked the sellers $15,000 for condition of the home. The most amazing part to me was that the other homes that he was comparing them with hadn't updated their bathrooms in like 15 years!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I was representing the seller, we definitely would have discussed this with the appraiser to try to get it changed, but I was representing the Buyer so I kept my mouth shut. For whatever reason the seller's agent did not argue it and our Buyer was able to save $12,000 on her purchase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cleaning may not be everyone's forte...if it's not yours - pay the $500 - $1000 to not only attract more Buyers, but potentially save yourself thousands of dollars.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*A great question to ask realtors when you are interviewing them is how they would handle a low appraisal. If they say that the appraisers' ruling is final, than move on to the next one.*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM or comment any real estate questions you may have and I will get them answered.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gorinshteyn - Palandri, established in 2010,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Engaged in 2013, 2014 Love Child, Wedding Date TBD⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our plan was to get married in 2015, but when I went back to work from maternity leave the company stripped me of my managerial pay without saying anything to me...Until I got my first paycheck and noticed that it was half of what it should be. Their response was that I wouldn't be able to manage with a new baby. I had 100x the companies profit in the last 2.5 years in that position. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of fighting to stay in a position, Kevin and I decided that our savings would go towards my career path change to real estate investments, home flips. I passively invested in real estate prior and we were getting coached on adding rental properties to our portfolio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I completed a few successful flips, but the last one I did was nearly $100k less than what my mentor and I had projected. I halted flips, got my RE license, and got a bookkeeping job with a construction company so I could learn true costs of construction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My construction numbers were great! I realized our ARV was off due to lack of neighborhood knowledge, putting a home on the market not fully ready costs you $$, repair and offer negotiations cost me $50k, and not knowing what questions to ask costs. As a realtor...my experiences make me passionate about providing unparalleled service to the people I work with.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2017, we decided to push the marriage date further so Kevin could focus full time on his entrepreneurial endeavors @epikta and @bossvideoplayer. Right now wedding plans are for 2021 :o) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else out there taken the road less traveled? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of 348 homes located in Sunset Square HPOZ, just east of West Hollywood from Sunset to Hollywood Blvd. Properties in an HPOZ must meet the historic councils design requirements and receive approval, making large remodels more lengthy/costly process...but it keeps the charm of the neighborhood and prevents house eye sores (mostly)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This neighborhood consists of professionals and creatives, with more families than than most expect. Overall nice people that care about the community.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the past 6 months, 6 homes have sold in the neighborhood and currently there's 6 active listings, prices ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 MIl - average price per square foot is $711.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This home recently went into escrow well above the neighborhoods average price per square foot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gardner Street is the elementary school that serves this neighborhood. Several years ago the vice principal of the blue ribbon award winning school, Wonderland Avenue, moved to Gardner as the principal and began to overhaul the school now making it a sought out elementary school that is continuing this progression under Principal Hollis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Abby started kindergarten at Gardner this year and we've been pleased with the structure and teachings so far. Hubert Howe middle school principal has reached out to families at Gardner and it's other participating elementaries in hopes to start implementing changes to make this city middle school a viable options for more families. As the meetings happen, I'll be finding out more as I'd love to see an additional highly rated middle and high school in LA.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop a star if you like the wood, brass, and dark touches that this designer brought into the finishes of this house. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
