How to Save Money on Real Estate by Going Direct to the Listing Agent

Find Your Own Loft and Get the Best Deal

With Downtown real estate prices so high, buyers and renters of Downtown lofts and condos are looking for ways to save money and get the most home for the dollar.

One way to do that is by cutting out the middle-man and going direct.  By getting priority access to hot new listings and unlisted properties, new Downtowners may be able to get the best deal.

Buyers can figure out how much money is on the table by calculating the commission that would normally go to the buyer’s agent, also called a selling agent.  Sellers and landlords usually allocate around 5% to 6% to the real estate brokers.  About half generally goes to the listing agent and half to the selling agent. If the renter or buyer goes directly to the listing agent, there is about 2.5% to 3% extra that can be negotiated sometimes in the buyer’s favor. Most agents, however, are not too excited about giving away any of their commission, so the correct tactics must be used to save as much money as possible.

Regardless of the ability to negotiate, getting the best home with the lowest price starts with gaining access to the best deals possible.  Here are several ways to get info on the best deals in Downtown Los Angeles:

JUST LISTED – Beat out other buyers to the best deals with hot, new listings.
UNLISTED – Get the lowest price when other buyers do not know about the properties.
POCKET LISTINGS – A great deal is in your pocket
DISTRESSED PROPERTIES – Their loss is your gain
RAW LOFTS – Unimproved, fixers or maybe just needing a little TLC
FORECLOSURES – Bank-owned, REO, company-owned and repossessions
MILLS ACT – Save thousands on taxes every year

Bunker Hill Breaks Out – The Once Stodgy Neighborhood is Turning Cool #lofts #dtla

Bunker Hill Tower Loft

What was a few years ago beginning to look like a gerontology ward is today turning stylish.  I remember a while back showing a unit for lease at Bunker Hill Tower condos to a young couple who were new to Downtown.  When they observed the people coming out of the building, including a gray guy walking, inching along very slow with his walker, my renter clients said “this is not the place for us.”

Built in 1968, the Bunker Hill Tower luxury condominium building is still largely maintained exceedingly well, and has an excellent reputation for quality.  But with its seasoned residents, dated rules (absolutely no dogs or cats), no washer and dryer in most units, the building and its surrounding neighborhood were utterly lacking the turn-of-the-century historic vibe, and devoid of the renaissance spirit that abounds in the Arts District and Historic Core neighborhoods of DTLA.

Today, that is changing.  Now, when walking into the Bunker Hill Tower, we are more likely to see more fresh faces of energetic artists. Along with that, more of the once outdated condominium interiors are getting revamped, renovated and remodeled to a modern style.  One such unit has been completely loftized, removing the old wall-to-wall carpet and replacing with a more desirable lofty original, polished concrete. The ordinary ceilings have been pushed up to create high ceilings.  The late 60’s apartment-style condo doldrum has been transformed into an exciting 2,200 sq ft open-concept loft.  With large high-end Sub-zero style stainless steel kitchen appliances, a sprawling modern 5-star hotel style bathroom, along with jetliner views, this condo unit has been aptly dubbed the “Bunker Hill Loft“.  Currently a top secret location, the unit will be revealed to the public soon at www.BunkerHillLoft.com

bunker-hill-metro-stationA new Bunker Hill Metro Station is under construction that will soon link the neighborhood to the Blue Line for a quick jaunt to the Arts District.  The station and connector line completes a 1.9-mile gap between the Metro Blue Line and the Metro Gold Line. It will also make for a faster trip to Long Beach or Santa Monica.  The brand new station will be located right by the Disney Concert Hall, Broad Museum and Bunker Hill Tower condo building.
