An untouched 1960s ranch on a quiet Studio City cul-de-sac — original wood siding, brick planters and all. Gary represented the buyer in November 2013, winning it at $935,000 over a $799,000 list in just six days. The renovation opened the floor plan and modernized every surface: new kitchen with waterfall island, new baths, new systems. Eight months later it resold for $1,415,000 — a 51% gross premium — in seven days on market.
