Open space with big windows and light, by the best walking areas near restaurants, shopping and entertainment. But what if the price is too high?  This blog post has answers to that question. For those who are very business minded, it comes naturally.  For the rest of us who must learn and work to make good things happen, we need to put in just a bit of effort to find and get the best deals.

Before getting to this step, the home  buyer or renter will have maximum leverage for low price by getting access to all of the properties, and not just some of them.  For Downtown, these unadvertised bargains can be found with a free VIP Buyer Program or a paid VIP Renter Service such as the LA Loft Tour at www.LALoftTour.com.

20160826_200914Failing to ask is the number one mistake for humans who want something and don’t get it. So, when it comes to getting a good deal, we need to ask.  Only about 70% of home buyers and just about 30% of renters place an offer less than the asking price.  So up to 30% of home buyers and up to 70% of renters are not negotiating to get the very lowest price.  It is  a 2-step process.  The first step is to ask the seller, owner, listing agent or manager if there are other offers or applications for the property or rental.  Also ask how long it has been on the market.  Then place an offer.  This works best when there are 2 or more properties that you like, and you place offer on both properties.  Many renters and home buyers get obsessed with a single property, which reduces the chances of getting a bargain price.  The most seasoned real estate professionals of all types, especially those who must get a great price, place many offers on many properties. For those who are obsessed with a particular property, and want to try to get that property for sure, the safest tactic is to place the highest and best offer as soon as possible.

Beacon Lofts vs Savoy Condominiums – Very Different Places in the Arts District

A Tale of Two Condos – Contrasting Traditional and Industrial Home Styles

Recently, some clients were discussing and comparing two nearby buildings in the Arts District, both along Alameda Street by the most popular part of Little Tokyo.  These are two different types of condominiums that are not usually enjoyed by the same kind of people.  Both have condo units for sale and for lease, but it’s like comparing apples and oranges, so lets enjoy delving into the big differences. #artsdistrict #condos

Beacon Lofts is an historic industrial loft building, while Savoy, a block away, is a modern construction traditional condominium complex. Right off the bat, those who want more traditional comforts will prefer The Savoy while those who want industrial character will certainly like Beacon Lofts better.

savoy-la-poolWhile most of our loft specialist team’s clients have preferred Beacon Lofts, a recent LA Loft Blog reader and rental-seeker recently chose the Savoy Condominiums at 100 S Alameda Street because she felt that a one bedroom with an actual door is preferable. The delineation of space also makes it feel bigger and more homey to her.  She mentioned that a lack of closet and/or storage space at the nearby Beacon loft would be a huge issue for her and her boyfriend, and that the balcony with extra storage space at Savoy is a huge perk. The amenities at Savoy are really nice (pool, gym, covered parking, landscaping, etc), Beacon doesn’t have those.  The location of Savoy is preferable for her since she intends to take the train most days and Savoy is a block closer to the Gold Line Metro and Union Station.

The Beacon loft is super cool, modern loft but feels a little too industrial for her preference. Because it lacks bedroom walls and bedroom door, lofts like Beacon are easier to visualize when they have furniture to give people an idea of how cool they can look when set up because lofts are neat spaces, and Beacon has with cool amenities in the surrounding area.

Compared to other nearby condos and apartments, Beacon lofts at 825 E 4th Street has plenty of street parking for guests around the area. Satelite speed internet hook-up, no annoying on-site management and no strict move-in/move-out rules (at other nearby condos, you can’t move in or out on the weekends) — Beacon is mostly owner occupied and self-governed with a community feel. Beacon is a concrete building so no ants/roaches/bugs/rodents. The sound isolation is much better that most buildings. No strict restrictions on the rooftop deck, BBQ, and hot tub (may be used late at night).
