Cordova in Burbank and Denny in North Hollywood are both in escrow

1122 N. Cordova in Burbank's Magnolia Park went into escrow last week.  Now, we just need to find the sellers a place to live (offers have been submitted).  More about that later.  And 5227 Denny #101 in the North Hollywood Arts District is in escrow.  We got the call saying the offer was being submitted about an hour after the first showing on the first day.  And we have to find those sellers a place too (offer submitted there as well).  Whew! Yes, we are very lucky.

5227 Denny #101 in Noho is live on the mls!

This 3 bedroom, super-chic North Hollywood condo is now on the mls.  If you or anybody you know is looking for a unit in the Noho Arts District, this may just be the one.  Built in 2009, it's listed for $420,000 and has uber-low HOA dues -- only $261/month.  The kitchen is huge and new, there are two full baths, fireplace, balcony, extra storage and more.  We will be open on Sunday from 1 to 4.  More pics can be found at my website at www.JudyGraff.com.

Kurt Cobain recorded at my new listing! Well, or close to...

Devonshire Sound Studios on Denny and Magnolia in North Hollywood was famous back in its day as one of the premiere recording studios in the Southland.  Alas, Devonshire is now Salami Studios, but its storied history lives on.  And you can live close to that history at 5227 Denny #101.  This chic condo will be listed for $420,000 in a few days, and features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, newer construction, a big kitchen, gorgeous bamboo floors and more.  As you may know, the Noho Arts District is undergoing a lot of rehabbing, including widening Magnolia and planting more trees.  I'll have the condo open on Sunday from 1 to 4; more pics tomorrow!  (And yes, I'm sure that Kurt is rolling in his grave.)

Realtors, forget listing new buildings

If you're a Realtor, you've probably salivated at the prospect of listing an entire new condo project for sale. All those units...all those commissions...but in reality, it's all that work. And it doesn't stop after the units close.

My buyer recently closed on a condo in a brand new North Hollywood building. The building is listed by the stalwart Aaron Scott, and he and I have probably talked more since the unit closed than we did during escrow -- mostly all about newly discovered construction problems. See the previous post on this subject.

On behalf of my client, Aaron and I have discussed construction issues, parking issues, alarm removals, contractors, cabinets, refrigerator doors, stoves that smoked, non-working toilets, intercom info, etc. etc. The Realtors on these new buildings handle everything -- they set up appointments with contractors, track down info, and communicate with the buyers and the buyers' agents about it all. In theory, a Realtor's responsibility ends when a property closes. But obviously, there's no such "statute of limitations" on these new places.
