Since launching his real estate journey in 1979 in the heart of Burbank, California, Brad has consistently elevated himself as a distinguished and deeply trusted figure in the greater Los Angeles real estate landscape. His name echoes through many communities, synonymous with excellence, thanks to an unwavering stream of enthusiastic referrals, brilliant ad campaigns, and a celebrated track record of selling homes faster—and for more money—than clients dared to imagine. Brad's success in one of America's most competitive markets stems from his commitment to a perpetual learning curve. Guided by the mantra "focused on what matters to you," he has achieved remarkable milestones. From helping clients build robust retirement incomes through income and investment properties to facilitating 1031 trade-ups and navigating the sale and purchase of residential properties spanning from family homes to luxury estates, equestrian properties, and other unique offerings. Recent accolades from the Wall Street Journal and Real Trends further solidify Brad Korb Real Estate Group's position among the top 1,000 real estate teams in the U.S. This achievement is a testament to Brad's leadership, supported by a handpicked team comprising 2 listing specialists, 8 buyer specialists, and 5 administration experts. Notably, his team includes his wife of 32 years, Nancy; their daughter, Courtney; and their son, Tyler. Beyond the transactional success of helping over 1,500 families with their real estate needs, Brad is a cherished member of his community. His generosity extends to vital causes, including the YMCA and numerous school, music, art, and sports programs. For an insider's look into Brad's real estate insights and endeavors, explore his social media presence on YouTube: Brad Korb Real Estate Channel. Discover a legacy built on trust, expertise, and a genuine commitment to what matters most. ??

"This was the second time we have used Brad Korb Real Estate Group and both times were great. We used them to buy our house several years ago and our experience was so positive, we just had them sell our house. The entire team was very supportive throughout the entire process and always were there to explain things. They handled everything and made our lives so much easier. John was our main point of contact and is a fantastic negotiator. Even though he wasn't our main agent, Brad was also very accessible and reached out several times throughout the selling process. They even sold our house above the asking price. I really appreciate all they did to help us have a great experience."

"I found Wayne on here a couple days ago & when I contacted him, he responded very quickly! I sent him pictures of what we needed removed & gave me a couple price quotes on what I was looking at price wise. We agreed on for Friday, 3 days after I first reached out to him. Wayne & his guys were great! He told me he would arrive between 1:45 & 2:00PM on 8/24 & arrived at 2:20 with communication letting me know he would arrive late due to traffic. No problem! They showed up, got straight to work & hauled heavy, dirty, rusted old junk into a huge moving van. Wayne was very very nice & his guys worked hard in the hot sun! They were in & out in about an hour & a half having filled up a 20-foot truck filled with junk! Very patient & accommodating. We will be contacting Wayne & his guys in the future for our next cleaning phase. Thanks Wayne!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Installing a flagpole can improve your home’s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You’ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will trimming trees away from the new lawn addition.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
