Michael B. Bell
Broker, GRI, CPS, and SRES  |  Broker DRE #01164731

Michael is a licensed Broker and REALTOR® with over 25 years of residential brokerage and investment experience. He has successfully handled 600+ sales, including luxury and challenging transactions, as well as homes that previously didn’t sell. You can find a comprehensive list of his transactions on this website. After obtaining a BBA in Finance from Gonzaga University, Michael gained valuable experience processing consumer loans at a Federal Credit Union, co-managing a portfolio at Charles Dunn Company, and underwriting loans at CB Commercial. Later, he ventured into house flipping, establishing a reputation that attracted interest from neighbors and fellow agents eager to work with him.

In 1999, Michael founded Bradmont Realty and grew it into a team of 10 agents. In 2005, it was acquired by Prudential Realty, and since then, he has consistently outperformed 99% of all agents locally and nationally. Since joining the Sotheby’s International Realty office in 2015, he has consistently been their top performer. Michael’s focused approach revolves around delivering results for his clients, prioritizing their best interests and avoiding activities that don’t benefit them. He and his family reside in Pasadena’s Bungalow Heaven Historic District.
