Los Feliz Real Estate Agent

Realtor in Los Feliz · Sidney Manzo, RE/MAX Dream Properties

A real estate agent in Los Feliz has two geographies: a level grid of older streets, and canyons and ridges toward Griffith Park. A realtor in Los Feliz should not use one comparable set for both. Sidney Manzo asks which side the parcel is on before he talks about price. The neighborhood council was certified on June 11, 2002, inside the Hollywood Community Plan, so City of Los Angeles rules apply. A map summary is not a determination for one address.

Services in Los Feliz

The home value review, the listing, and the negotiation are the work. He does not purchase houses. On the flatter streets the differences are often the floor plan, parking, and condition. In the hills they are the slope, the climb, a usable pad, and the street. The Baseline Hillside Ordinance can cap floor area by slope band on hillside R1, RS, RE, and RA lots. Griffith Observatory, on the south slope of Mount Hollywood, comes up in buyer conversations because people know it. It is a landmark, not a comp.

How Sidney works with Los Feliz sellers

On city maps drawn from state data, the Alquist-Priolo zone for the Hollywood fault crosses part of the neighborhood council area. That can be a disclosure item for a parcel inside the zone and irrelevant for a parcel outside it. Check ZIMAS. Parts of the hills are in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The flats may not be. Los Angeles transfer tax and the Residential Property Report still apply across the neighborhood because the jurisdiction is the city. Sidney gathers the hazard disclosure and the permit history before photos, especially where a retaining wall holds the yard.

Sidney's license and credentials are on his agent profile.
The home value review is not an appraisal and not an automated estimate. This page is general information.
