The excitement and creative spirit of architectural homes is speading across the country. Here in Southern California  I have been getting many more calls from folks just checking in to see what is going on, or trying to find an architect, or financing, or a location, to build their artistic statement, as a legacy for their family and children or heirs.

I always have them contact Mr. Brian Linder at The Value of Architecture, Los Angeles . Brian is a true genius of architecture, who also teaches UCLA students and others, all about architecture.  He can connect folks with other experts, whether it is to list their home for sale, or find the right architect, or an appraiser, like me, to help them determine a value for financing, trusts, splitting the estate, or partial valuations. 

Brian Linder is at Deasy Penner & Linder
