Highland Park Real Estate Agent

Realtor in Highland Park · Sidney Manzo, RE/MAX Dream Properties

A real estate agent in Highland Park should start on ZIMAS, because the Highland Park–Garvanza HPOZ changes exterior work for parcels inside it. A realtor in Highland Park who skips that layer and prices only from York Boulevard sales will miss the file. Sidney Manzo checks the parcel, then the house. A mailing ZIP is not proof of jurisdiction.

Services in Highland Park

He prepares the home value review, the listing plan, and the negotiation. He does not purchase houses. City Planning describes this HPOZ as the City's largest, with the period of significance the Preservation Plan sets at 1886 to 1961. The Plan notes older homes as Victorian and the majority as Craftsman. Garvanza sits in the same HPOZ. Figueroa, York, the streets around Sycamore Grove, and the blocks near the Highland Park A Line station are different walks and different comparable sets. The station entrances Metro lists are at Avenue 57 and Avenue 59.

How Sidney works with Highland Park sellers

Exterior work inside the HPOZ, including a lot of landscaping and additions, gets added review under the Preservation Plan. The HPOZ Board meets on a published schedule at the Arroyo Seco Library. City of Los Angeles rules also include the Residential Property Report and the city transfer tax. Measure ULA can apply to a qualifying transfer. Sidney does not compute that tax. Escrow does, from the contract price and the rules in effect. Fire-hazard and hillside layers are parcel checks on ZIMAS, not a neighborhood-wide yes or no.

The home value review is not an appraisal and not an automated estimate. This page is general information.

Questions to ask a Highland Park agent

Ask the agent to open ZIMAS and say whether your lot is in the HPOZ. Ask what the Preservation Plan would do to a plan to replace windows or paint an arroyo-stone wall. Ask which Garvanza sales they would use for a York Boulevard condo, if any.

Highland Park questions

Does Sidney purchase Highland Park property?

No. He does not purchase houses.

Is the review an appraisal?

No. It is not an appraisal and not an automated estimate.

Are Garvanza and Highland Park different cities for a sale?

No. Garvanza is in the same HPOZ. The rules still depend on the parcel, which ZIMAS shows.

Does a listing postpone a foreclosure sale?

No. A listing is not a postponement, and this page cannot calculate a foreclosure deadline.
