Thank you for considering me for all of your real estate needs. I have been a full-time realtor since 2005 and have consistently been recognized as one of the top producing realtors in the area. Why? The simple answer is that I simply do more than most realtors at no extra cost to my clients. I present and market every home I sell, from one bedroom condos, to 5 bedroom oceanview homes, as if it were a luxury property. I put tremendous time and effort into strategically pricing, professionally marketing, aggressively negotiating for my clients and ultimately helping them with every step in the process. With over 60 5-star reviews I hope my past success and client satisfaction ease any concerns that I am the right choice for all of your real estate needs.

"Keith went above & beyond to help us find our dream condo in Redondo Beach The Villages. We lived in NY and started our search in September 2019 and then the pandemic derailed things, as well as the crazy Ca market. Keith was constantly on the lookout for a condo that would be the right fit for us. Once we found the home we loved, he worked diligently to secure it for us. Keith never pushed us to do anything outside of our comfort zone and he was our advocate during the negotiation process of buying a home. He responded to our calls, texts & emails promptly and was very accommodating of our tight schedule when we would travel out to the South Bay to look at properties. After closing, he helped us to find a NY based broker to sell our 35+ year home and also continued to help us by checking on the condo during a building construction, and helping us to find reasonable trade people for repairs and upgrades and also checking on the work being done there for us. Keith is hands down one of the most honest, reliable, trustworthy and empathetic people I have ever met, unlike some other brokers we ran across during our search."

With over 20 years of real estate appraisal experience, I specialize in valuations for bankruptcy, divorce and family law, probate and estate, accounting and tax purposes, as well as homeowner loans. I am located in the Pasadena area, but I service all of Southern California. I appraise all types of properties; single family homes, condos, apartments, land, and commercial. My turn time is typically one to three days from the date of inspection, however, I can do a 'rush' same-day appraisal if needed.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

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.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
