Selling a Home in Montebello


When it is time to sell in Montebello, experience counts. Jay Romero has guided sellers for over 25 years with one goal: getting you the most for your property. Montebello sits in the western San Gabriel Valley along the SR-60 and I-5, with the Montebello Country Club golf course, the Shops at Montebello and hillside neighborhoods with views.

Who Is Buying in Montebello

Buyers value hillside views, the golf course and a central location near downtown Los Angeles. Buyers also value the quick drive to downtown Los Angeles and the Metrolink station on the east side of the city. Homes include 1920s to 1950s Spanish and ranch homes, hillside homes in the north and postwar tracts.

Local Prep and Pricing Advice

Hillside homes should show views. Character homes should highlight original features. Gather permits for additions. For hillside homes, document drainage and retaining walls and photograph views on clear days.
