Barker Block is a complex of new construction and existing resale lofts in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. It brings modern design and amenities to an original furniture warehouse in the heart of the city’s most authentic neighborhood. Mixing life, art, energy and home, Barker Block offers one of the most beautiful and intriguing living experiences around.

Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs – on top of the purchase price – that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you’re not informed and prepared.

Barker Block’s location in the Arts District is one of those genuine places with a real neighborhood fabric, originality and creative energy that gives it a familiar big-city feel with a uniquely Angelino vibe.

Some costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it’s better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly.

Recent new construction lofts have suffered from issues including previous and new lawsuits against the developer, new litigation, financing problems, lost parking, other parking issues, HOA-management conflicts, difficulty with sales office, overpricing, overpaying, upside-down buyers, health and safety issues.  For full protection, it is critical that buyers contact a Downtown loft specialist Realtor such as Corey Chambers (213) 478-0499 corey@laloft.org and bring an agent in to the first visit of a new loft development. It costs the buyer nothing to get the right assistance necessary for a successful purchase.  All buyers should see the alternatives, including pocket listings and other unlisted properties.

Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it’s your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home.

All buildings in Downtown Los Angeles have issues that buyers should know about before seeing the property.  Barker Block and its developer have had issues with parking, lawsuits, health and safety, HOA and broker conflicts of interest, overpricing and other questions. All prospective buyers and renters of Barker Block lofts should get free help from a Downtown specialist Realtor(R).

To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called “13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home“.

One of the biggest secrets in Downtown real estate is that many of the best lofts and condos are sold privately without ever being listed on the MLS.  Buyers who rely on the internet or who unwittingly hire out-of-area agents fare the worst, seeing only a small fraction of the available properties.  The L.A. Loft Blog brings exclusive word that offers are imminent on this loft that offers the upmost comfort, style and views in a 1,330 Sq Ft 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom luxury Sky Lofts high-rise loft with private bedrooms, West and North views overlooking beautiful Downtown’s Financial District skyscraper skyline.

“Pocket listings and other types of unlisted properties are a much larger source of bargains, and account for far more real estate success in Downtown than most people realize,” announces Downtown specialist Realtor(R) Corey Chambers, “In fact, 45% of our most successful transactions last year were on unlisted properties.”  This Sky loft is a prime example.  Most of the properties are not on the MLS, and they are not listed anywhere.  They are not even on the L.A. Loft Blog. The private pocket listings are primarily available only by private email from the top pocket listing team in Downtown Los Angeles to VIP buyers only.  The VIP buyer program does not cost the buyer anything, but is only available to buyers who are serious and qualified.  Buyers may request VIP access at LAsecretLofts.com
