Silver Lake Real Estate Agent

Realtor in Silver Lake · Sidney Manzo, RE/MAX Dream Properties

A real estate agent in Silver Lake is dealing with a neighborhood that climbs around the reservoir. Some streets are wide. Others are narrow, curving, and steep. A realtor in Silver Lake who matches only the square footage will miss the climb from the curb, the garage, and the yard. Sidney Manzo prices those together. The neighborhood council was certified in February 2003, so City of Los Angeles selling rules apply. Only the parcel's ZIMAS report answers for an address.

Services in Silver Lake

He reviews the property, lists it, and negotiates. He does not purchase houses. City Planning's Baseline Hillside Ordinance, Ordinance No. 181,624, applies to R1, RS, RE, and RA lots in the Hillside Area and limits residential floor area by slope band. A buyer of a hillside lot will ask about that limit. A house on a gentler street will not have the same question. The Bureau of Engineering describes the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex as 127 acres. The water is context for a showing. It is not a price.

How Sidney works with Silver Lake sellers

Parts of Silver Lake are mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and parts are not. Check the parcel on ZIMAS or the state fire-hazard map rather than assuming the street. Historic-Cultural Monuments are individual. The City's layer includes the Neutra VDL Research House, which does not designate the block. Los Angeles transfer tax and the Residential Property Report are the closing items to order early. Sidney will say in the remarks how a buyer parks and how steep the walk is, because that is what the showing will reveal anyway.

No. He does not purchase houses.

Does the reservoir come with a value adjustment on this page?

No. Parts of the area are mapped Very High and parts are not. Check the parcel.

Can Sidney decide a probate question?

No. Whether probate or another process applies is for the attorney.
