"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

I had received a quote from a previous appraisal company for almost double, that I could NOT afford and so when they delivered the work on time, at the price quoted , i was happily surprised and i am a very satisfied customer. I would DEFINITELY recommend this company for out standing work, and customer service"

"Natalya was recommended to me by a friend who knows her and her excellent record in selling homes. I was surprised that Natalya charges just $4700 for full service listing, so I decided to list my home with Flat Rate LA Real Estate because it seemed to be very attractive alternative and I wanted to save my money. She did not disappoint. Seriously one of the best agents out there. Exceedingly smart and knowledgeable. She was on top of everything and respond to everything. Natalya stayed in constant communication, provided helpful recommendations and took the stress out of the process. She really understands the local market and how to navigate through it. I had open houses, my house was advertised on all real estate websites and I was constantly kept aware of her contact with other agents who viewed my home, and what they liked and did not like about it. As it turned out, she stayed with me during the negotiations. She was correct in her advice. Once an offer was accepted I was led thru the closing process as well. I had zero problems with Natalya and she was pleasant to deal with. My house was sold and I saved more than $7,000. I cannot say enough great and positive things about Natalya and Flat Rate LA Real Estate team. I highly recommend working with her. "

"Over a period of about a month, Teri showed us a wide variety of homes.  We met almost daily to view different properties. 
 She narrowed down the choices as she figured out our priorities. After researching comps and assessing the market, Teri helped us make an offer that was accepted almost immediately. Love my new home!

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.
