You might find that I'm different from 99% of the other agents. Aside from outselling them, I am a true seller specialist with a wide range of experience. There are always challenges when selling a home, and I know how to manage all of them. Find an agent who only represents sellers, doesn't engage in dual representation, and only uses proven strategies and markets to a local, national, and international audience.
This means more buyers and a better price. You've likely found me by referral, which is a high compliment. Feel free to read what others have said about me. If you are reading this, you likely want a smooth sale, netting the most money in the shortest amount of time. That is what I'm known for. Mike was referred to me to sell my home in Monrovia and I interviewed him along with other agents.

Mike Bell is The Best! He not only professionally walked me through the entire sales process, but made 50 phone calls to call attention to my condo sale when it was first listed, and within eight days, he had sold it above asking price! I could not have asked for a more competent, market-savvy, and delightful person to work with.

Michael Bell and his associates, James Yu and Tara del Basco, guided us successfully through the byzantine process of selling our Pasadena home of 35 years. His judgment, honed over 27 years of experience, in good and bad markets, proved invaluable and earned our trust and confidence. We appreciated his advocacy on our behalf and wise counsel, which proved indispensible at several points that led to a very satisfactory sale during extraordinarily difficult times. He is proactive and responsive, keeping us informed at every step along the way.

I had a great experience working with Michael and his team in selling a family home. I found him to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to communications, and professional in all interactions. I especially appreciated his detailed responses to all of my questions. Mike made a stressful situation much easier. I would definitely work with him again.

We chose Michael to represent us for the sale of our condo after interviewing a handful of realtors in Pasadena. His confidence, yet personable demeanor, gave us the trust in him that he would be able to take over after we move out of state. He guided us with good insights during the process and when we had to make some big decisions. The communications and sale went smoothly every step of the way with him and his team.

After interviewing several local realtors, I selected Michael Bell to sell a probate house that had very serious deferred maintenance issues. Michael was able to see past the house's surface problems, recommend (then execute on my behalf) needed clean up and expedite an effective marketing plan. The end result was exactly what he told me to expect – an above listing final price with the deal closed within three weeks of the initial listing. What more can an out-of-town seller ask for?

Mike Bell not only met but exceeded our goals: timely sale at a price above what we expected to a buyer who understood and appreciated our historic home and its landmark district location. These all confirmed our choice of Mike, as a fellow historic home owner and neighbor who totally believed in the home's value - his prediction as to price and buyer were spot on. Mike tailored the marketing for our sale, with input from us. He advised on readying the house for sale, and managed the city occupancy inspection and appraisal for timely and excellent results. He attended all showings (important to

Deciding to sell the home that's been in the family for 60 years wasn't easy. Realtor Mike Bell stepped in with kind words and encouragement. Mike's mastery of his field reassured me, and his no-pressure attitude gave me time to make my decisions and clear out the house. With his help, I quickly sold the house for more than the asking price.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Mike Bell team to anyone considering selling their property, whether it's a recent acquisition or a family treasure. Thanks, Mike!
