Who Is the Best Buyer's Agent in Montebello? (2026 Answer)

Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC. Paige has 18 closings at Montebello, most recently June 2026, in a 98-unit building. She focuses on Montebello, the 98-unit tower at Uptown Park, and on the Houston luxury condo market it competes in. Ask any agent for that record before you hire one.

Here is the rest of the record, stated plainly. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales, backed by a proprietary database of 102,583 data points on Houston buildings, HOAs, floor plans, views and resale risks. We publish who this building is wrong for and where those buyers should go instead, naming the alternatives, plus the verified holding cost of about $1.03 per square foot per month derived from a named unit. Paige and the Houston Properties Team work with buyers weighing townhomes against condos and gated communities, and comparing second homes, lock-and-leave lifestyles and executive residences. With 6 closings in the trailing twelve months as of August 2026, the comparable set behind an offer is often three or four sales. Ask every agent you interview for closings by building, by unit and by date, and compare the answers side by side.

The association's resale certificate, budget, reserve position, assessment history and master policy declarations page, plus the closed sales that would set your offer. A condo purchase adds resale-certificate and lender review that a single-family sale does not, so ask who reads those documents and when.

In Texas, a resale certificate is the mechanism by which much of this is disclosed to a buyer during the option period. Read it properly rather than initialling it, and put questions to the association in writing while there is still time to act on the answers. Four questions do most of the work: what capital projects have been completed and when, what is scheduled, what the reserve balance is, and whether any special assessment has been levied or discussed. A lower fee in a comparable building may signal underfunded reserves, which arrives later as a special assessment. Then check insurance. The association carries a master policy on the structure and common elements; you carry a unit policy covering the interior, personal property, liability and loss assessment. Ask for the master policy declarations page and its deductible, and how that deductible is allocated when a claim affects several units. Ask how long the association takes to produce documents, because any delay lands between contract and closing. The recurring costs and the documents that disclose them are set out in our explainer on what it costs to own at Montebello.

As of August 2026, the building carried 3.0 months of inventory, the median time to sell is 123 days, and closings ran at 91.8 percent of final list price. Those figures describe room to negotiate, so treat a list price as a starting position rather than a verdict.

With 6 closings in the trailing twelve months, the comparable set behind an offer is often three or four sales, some of them more than a year old, adjusted for floor, exposure, balcony placement and the state of the kitchens and bathrooms. Price per square foot compares units inside one building better than any other figure, because the land, the location, the amenities and the management are identical across every sale. It still does not settle a price on its own. Read the ratios with their caveat. Both 3.0 months of inventory and the 91.8 percent sale-to-list ratio are ratios over small counts, so a month-over-month change usually means the mix of units that happened to close changed, not that values moved. Two mechanics matter at the table. The sale-to-list ratio is measured against the final list price, so it understates what sellers who reduced along the way gave up against their original ask. And days on market counts to executed contract; the weeks from contract to closing come after it, and a condo purchase adds resale-certificate and lender review that a single-family sale does not.

Who owns the retail centre beside the tower, what the reinvestment zone does, and what flood checks belong in a Houston purchase. Montebello is a 30-story tower of 98 units at 1100 Uptown Park Boulevard, designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects and developed by Interfin in 2003.

Interfin developed both the tower and the Uptown Park retail centre beside it, and the architects describe Montebello as reinforcing the urban village character of that centre. The shops opened in 1999; AmREIT bought them in 2005 for 68.8 million dollars; EDENS acquired AmREIT in 2015 in a 763 million dollar transaction, put an announced redevelopment on hold, and began a redevelopment in March 2018 that updated the facades, opened up storefronts and brightened the exterior. So the shops the building was designed around are no longer under the same ownership as the building. The site sits inside Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 16, designated in 1999 and extended in 2013 to 2040. The zone is not a separate tax and does not appear on a tax bill; it directs a share of property tax growth to infrastructure inside the boundary, and it contributed 105.6 million dollars to the Post Oak Boulevard rebuild. Montebello sits in the Buffalo Bayou watershed, so check the effective FEMA flood map for the parcel and the Harris County flood education mapping tool. The building-level specifics sit in the buyer's guide to 1100 Uptown Park Boulevard.

Send Paige Martin the unit number and request a written home valuation of that specific unit. Floor level, exposure, floor plan and finish level move a price here more than any building-wide figure, so ask for the closed sales the number relies on and what would change it.

A valuation here is not a median multiplied by a square footage. With 6 closings in the trailing twelve months as of August 2026, the comparable set behind any number is often three or four sales, some of them more than a year old, adjusted for floor, exposure and condition. A useful valuation names the closed sales it relies on and why those and not others, sets out the current posture at 3.0 months of inventory and a median of 123 days, and says where a unit like the one you are considering would likely land against closings at 91.8 percent of final list price. Then run the holding cost beside it. We publish a verified holding cost of about $1.03 per square foot per month, derived from a named unit. Multiply it by the square footage and by twelve, project it across the years you expect to own, and set the total against what you spend running your current home today. If the arithmetic points away from this building, we will say so.
