Cerritos Home Sellers Guide


Cerritos is a planned city in southeast Los Angeles County, known for the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, Cerritos Towne Center, Los Cerritos Center and well-kept parks such as Heritage Park. Broker Jay Romero has been trusted by sellers for more than a quarter century to work for the strongest price and a smooth close, and Cerritos is part of the area he serves.

Getting Your Cerritos Home Ready

Expanded homes need permits ready so buyers and appraisers credit the extra space. Fresh kitchens and baths help, but even simple updates like lighting and paint make a difference.

The Cerritos Housing Market

Buyers value the central location between the 91 and the 605, tidy neighborhoods and floor plans that have been updated or expanded. Most homes are single-family tracts from the late 1960s and 1970s, many expanded with second stories, along with townhome and condo communities.

  4. Deal making: Experienced negotiation on price, credits and timing to protect your bottom line.
