WHY?  Topography, Weather, Money.
Where else in the world can you live in a beach bungalow, a mountaintop palazzo, a cliff-hanging contemporary, a valley ranch house, or a desert retreat, all within a two-hour driving range?  Many contemporary structures have been built because of favorable weather conditions. Due to the creative industries our region embraces, and the money those industries generate, the finest design practitioners have flexed their mettle here for over two centuries.  Architects, designers, landscapers, contractors, and every specialized vendor imaginable are minutes away from my office ready to serve your needs.

FIRST 3 STEPS TO STARTING YOUR PROJECT IN LA:

1. Team-up with an agent like ANDREW to save you time and money by:  
     - Market Analysis and connection to local architects, and contractors.     
     - Reducing the SPAM of house hunting.
     - Making showing appointments that meet YOUR schedule.
     - Giving you insider tips, like why a house you were interested in fell out of escrow.
     - Showing you the full spectrum of homes that are actually for sale.
     - Helping you get financially prepared.
     - Representing YOUR best interests in the transaction, not the Seller's.
     
2. The burden of proof is on the Buyer!
      - MONEY TALKS ... GET PRE-APPROVED to truly determine your Purchasing Power!
      - Your agent can help you find competing lenders with the best rates on your terms.  
      - If All-Cash be prepared to show Proof-of-Funds and if an LLC, ideally establish before hand.
      - It matters most to know what you can BORROW from a LENDER.  Purchasing power will determine your max leverage; the extent to which you can borrow. Determining this depends on you. It can take as little as 3 days and as much as 3 weeks or more.  This must be done before making an offer.
