Should the City Allow Arcadia Residents to Change Street Numbers?
For Sellers - 10 months ago
A few years ago, changing your address was easy for Arcadia residents – a few pieces of paperwork, a fee of about $500, and it was done. You could even change which street your house belonged on if your house was on a corner, if your home met the right conditions.

What Past Clients Are Saying About Us
"I was extremely happy working with Mark. I know that I would not have gotten better service with any other agent. I could always depend on him to come through and highly recommend him."
-Shila G., Pasadena CA
"Weeks after I purchased a condominium in Arcadia, my living situation changed and I had to sell it immediately. In less than 30 days through his aggressive marketing campaign, Mark obtained multiple offers for my condominium. One offer was an all cash offer and amounted to $32,000 more than I purchased the home for. I credit his work ethic, his professionalism, and his perseverance for the successful sale of my home. You will not find a real estate agent who works harder for his clients than Mark."
- Ying Pei, Arcadia CA
"Mark helped me negotiate an amazing price for my first home. A few months after I bought my condominum, a very similar unit in the complex in worse condition sold for much much more than I paid. It was my first home buying experience and Mark walked me through all the details of the process and was always accessible for my questions. I couldn't have asked for more."
- Stanford Huang, Arcadia CA
