From the broker. Yes, he wrote the description in all caps :-(

The broker is Rayni Williams, Branden Williams of Hilton and Hyland and Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker.

Tax square footage is listed at 5,436 sf which makes you wonder what is permitted as living space and what is not. The site is 102,452 sf or 2.3 acres.It was built in 1940 but was renovated around 2007. It last sold in 2003 for $3.8M. It sold previously for $4.1M in 2002. There is a $6M loan on it as of 2015. It's been on the market 257 days which is typical for a home like this.

There are four complaints about construction without permits.

1/15/2003 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS WITHOUT PERMITS OR INSPECTIONS CLOSED
10/30/2003 OPEN EXCAVATIONS ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC CLOSED
11/18/2008 TRASH OR DEBRIS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY CLOSED

Mayor Eric Garcetti, Amy Wakeland house for sale 2120 Avon Ave, Los Angeles, California 90026 Echo Park

Eric Garcetti, Mayor Eric Garcetti, home, house, Amy Wakeland, Amy Elaine Wakeland, 2120 Avon Ave, Los Angeles, California CA 90026, Echo Park, for sale, sold, green, eco-friendly, architect, Daniel Dworsky, Elissa Scrafano, Gil Garcetti, Jewish, Mexican, Democrat, City Council, President, US Navy, Columbia University, Oxford

Eric Garcetti and his wife Amy Wakeland's house on 2120 Avon Ave, Los Angeles California 90026 is currently listed for sale at $1,650,000. Eric Garcetti and his wife Amy Wakeland rented the home for $4,750/month (MLS report is not verified) when they moved into the Mayor's Getty House Mansion few years ago. 

Per the MLS "The Garcetti/Wakeland residence. C. 1953. Daniel L. Dworsky, AIA. Recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and on the cover of Dwell. Sited on almost half an acre of land, this 3 bedroom/2 Bathroom Echo Park Hills Post and Beam home was renovated and expanded by Architect Elissa Scarfano to emphasize its modernist characteristics while making it more comfortable for current living utilizing sustainable materials and greater energy efficiency."

The home was featured in "Dwell" magazine in 2009. When I bought/won lunch with Eric December 2005 he told me he just built a "green" environmentally friendly home. He also said he adopted two cats from the shelter. He obviously just renovated and expanded the home and was just trying to easily explain it to me. He did adopt two cats and also fostered many wonderful human children. He was extremely polite, professional, funny, witty and kind at the meeting. 

I bid on his eBay auction for lunch because I wanted to learn what is the best way to get pro animal, wildlife, environmental motions passed in the city of LA. He told me the city council members control the city as of course they do. Mayor only has veto power in certain situations. He told me to contact all the council members, build a relationship, contact their animal, environmental people in their staff. He told me to provide them with honest information, help them with animal, environmental issues which of course I did. Our group probably spayed neutered over 100 animals directly referred from the council members not to mention free humane nuisance wildlife control.

He told me if I want a pro animal motion passed, I should fully research it, do pros and cons, write it... I must show why the motion is good for the city, and of course animals. I must show it won't cost the city anything, will improve their image, improve public safety, reduce liability and help animals. I did this with every motion then contacted council members to get them to propose, second...the motions, vote for... The rest is history! Win win win motions for animals, the city and council members! I have since shared this knowledge with others. Since 2005 there have been many pro-animal, enviro motions passed in Los Angeles!

Real estate agents, add an appraisal clause to your contract - by Mary Cummins real estate appraiser

Attention real estate agents. Please, add an appraisal clause to your offers, contracts. Here's a sample, "If the appraised value is $10,000 less than the contract price, buyer will make up the difference in cash. If the appraised value is more than $10,000 less than the contract price, buyer has option to make up the difference in cash or cancel contract for full return of deposit." You can also state that if the appraised value is less than contract price, you can just walk with your deposit. I'm talking about the appraisal value for homes selling for cash with appraisal clauses or homes selling with loans that need appraisals.

AMCs and banks are giving us strict orders on comparables we can use and adjustments we can make. For an average home we must use comps +/- 15% difference in gross living area, within one mile radius, sold within the last 12 months and currently listed. I don't want to see anyone lose their deposit. Properties in my area are selling over list with multiple offers because there are so few good properties currently listed. Getting them to appraise is difficult. There are fewer listings which mean fewer sales which can be used as comparables. In general most of the inventory needs work. It's difficult to appraiser a home in great condition if all other sales were distressed sales that need complete renovations. We can make the adjustments but still need to bracket the sales price which can be tough.

Search the internet for other appraisal clauses. I am not an attorney. Talk to an attorney about any sales contract or offers.
