Claudia Montalban

An integral part of Compass' dedication to excellence is the collaboration of high caliber professionals. Claudia certainly fits that profile. She brings to Compass a wealth of skills, 37 years of experience and professionalism, and joins a group of distinguished real estate professionals who are all part of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced marketing firm specializing in distinctive properties and estates.

Claudia's priority is promoting positive community and economic growth in the Southbay. She epitomizes integrity, energy, creativity, and a hyper-sense of details while working with loyal clients; first-timer home purchasers and sellers as well as veteran real estate investors. 

With a marketing/advertising background, creativity is evident in every property's custom marketing collateral including cutting-edge sales strategies. With a tenacious disposition, protecting clients' interests with skilled negotiations, is foundational. Her success is the result of years of experience and a relational business model, allowing for personalized, client-centered service, prioritizing a long-term, trust-based and collaborative relationship. 

Beyond the transaction, providing ongoing support to address client's residential real estate needs, including facilitating connections with trusted industry designers and contractors, her goal is to be a resource for the duration of the homeownership journey. With an instinctive nature, Claudia listens, then prepares an intensive listing and sales strategy, imparts valuable knowledge throughout the escrow process, and delivers a stress-free and successful outcome.

Claudia has a passion for volunteerism. Her role as foster youth ambassador, assisting in programs that educate and house Santa Clara County's foster youth, has been a huge part of her life. Additionally, she is honored to support and work with the following charities that improve the lives of Silicon Valley youth: Silicon Valley Children's Fund, 100 Women Charitable Foundation, Mid-Peninsula Open Space, Best Buddies, and Free the Children.

A Los Altos resident for 33 years, Claudia is a running fanatic and if she's out of reach you'll find her on the trails at Rancho San Antonio with her family; husband Phil and four kids; Thomas, Shelby, Hannah and Connor.
