452 N. Ave 52

Sold for $1,560,000 — a cool, centrally located craftsman in Highland Park.

In LA’s neighborhood de jour lies this dream haus. A craftsman from the 1910s, infused with modern details, it’s a sumptuous blend of old+new. Add in a glimmering pool, century-old cypress trees, period details, views, and make it all walking distance to York Avenue? Epic, indeed.

We won this house in Northeast LA’s white-hot market, triumphing over a whopping 19 other offers. Agent-to-agent relationships + competitive terms were ultimately the deciding factors.

I’m thrilled for my savvy client to plant such chic roots in LA, at the tail end of another whirlwind California summer.

From my client —

“Sam was exactly the agent I needed - as a first-time buyer doing it alone, I had no idea what I was doing and I needed an agent I could trust. Sam was that and so much more.

Sam held my hand through every step of the process, from helping me weed out houses I sent them in a midnight fugue state to strategizing with my lender on how to present cash offers and still end up with a mortgage. They nailed the offer strategy on my house: we ended up beating 19 other offers! They also expertly coordinated 6 inspections the day after escrow started.

In short, Sam has the hard skills necessary to navigate the intense LA real estate market with ease, and the soft skills to make the buying process as painless and enjoyable as possible.

I don’t know if I could have done this without them - maybe I could have but I would have been a lot more stressed and had a lot less fun! I couldn’t be happier with where I ended up, and I have Sam to thank for it. I will recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house.”
