What to Check Before You Offer in Chandler Estates
Competition
Expect competing offers on well-priced homes. Get a full pre-approval before touring so you can move on a good listing quickly, and let Roman review the offer terms with you before you submit.
Mid-century homes
Ask about the age of plumbing, electrical and the sewer line, and request permit history for additions, pool work and garage conversions. Original systems can be fine, but they should be priced in.
Lot and zoning
Spacious lots are the draw. Confirm lot size, setbacks and what the city allows for additions or an accessory dwelling unit before you count on future square footage.
School assignment
Assignment follows the exact address, not the neighborhood name. Confirm the elementary, middle and high school with LAUSD before you offer.
