"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!"

"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

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

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.

A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.

Around 1-2 weeks, including inspection and reporting time for an official evaluation.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
