Real Estate Appreciation Inspections and Consulting:

Do not List your home for sale or buy a home without getting an Appreciation Inspection. Kendall Key is the #1 Appreciation Inspector and Consultant in Los Angeles.

What is an Appreciation Inspection? An inspection that determines the full appreciation of a home within the entire four corners of the property. The inspection examines the full potential a property has to get the highest sale price possible either for sellers now or for current buyers later. Inspections include property condition, landscape, lifescape, interior design hacks and repairs / replace, staging and unique storage additions. Your agent is not a designer, renovator or landscape designer, and they should not be. That's not their job, but I am and it is my job. Appreciation Inspections and Consulting can return results in the $100,000’s. Do not lose money in appreciation by lack of knowledge. Inspect your property prior to list or purchase.

ADU Build, Conversion or Rental Inspection and Consulting:

Kendall Key is an ADU expert who has built, designed or converted over 65 ADU’s. ADU’s are often an amazing way to maximase appreciation, provide rental income, supply a homeowner with a work live situation or allow for multigenerational living. However not all ADU’s are created equal. The creation of an ADU involves many different aspects of a unique property to determine if the build or conversion of one will enhance the property as a whole. Get an inspection before you build or convert. If you have an existing ADU you wish to rent either long or short term, get an ADU Consultation to maximase your rental income, discuss fair housing, tenant rights, and to perfect your ADU before listing it for rent.
