Selling a lot, buying back into the neighborhood, or weighing rebuild-versus-sell — start with representation that knows the Palisades block by block. On the November 3, 2026 ballot as Proposition TE: the City Council–approved measure to exempt sales of homes damaged or destroyed in the January 2025 fire from Measure ULA (the "mansion tax") — a one-time exemption running through early 2030 — worth knowing before you time a sale.

Buying & Selling

Anthony Marguleas — Amalfi Estates

Founder of Amalfi Estates (984 Monument St), the independent Palisades brokerage he started in 1995, and consistently ranked among California's top agents. Decades of Palisades-specific experience — including the post-fire market of lot sales and rebuilds — and deep local roots. The publisher's pick for the best agent in town.

Before you sign

Verify any agent — CA Dept. of Real Estate

Every licensed agent and broker in California is searchable at the DRE. Check the license — and its discipline history — for anyone who wants to represent you.

Watch out for lot speculators. Cold calls and mailers offering fast cash for burned lots almost always price below market. Don't sell without a local agent's market analysis — the land under a Palisades address is worth more than a speculator's first offer.
