Team
Mike Bell
Broker, GRI and CPS
I'm a licensed Broker and REALTOR® with over 19 years of residential brokerage and investment experience. I specialize homes that don't sell the first time. I've closed over 230 sales valued at over $125,000,000.
After graduating with a BBA in Finance at Gonzaga University, I processed consumer loans at a Federal Credit Union, moved to co-managing a portfolio at Charles Dunn Company, underwrote loans at CB Commercial, and then moved onto flipping homes. Neighbors and other agents wanted to work with me. In 1999 I opened Bradmont Realty, and grew it to 10 agents. In 2005 Prudential Realty bought us, and since then I've outsold 95% to 99.5% of all agents locally and nationally.
I know how to sell, and I don't waste my time with things that don't help my clients (blogging, twitter, and sitting around the office water cooler).
My family lives in Pasadena's Bungalow Heaven. On weekends you may, at times, hear my boys in the background when we talk.
Anne Bell
Team Director
Anne is great with structuring the team so we all do what each of us are best at, and making sure no one skips a beat. She is in charge of making sure all the background platforms, from advertising, to data population on the various portals is coordinated and smoothly done throughout the process. It is likely that you will not talk or see her in your transaction, but she is heavily involved in making sure the 200+ items on our to-do list are completed. I am lucky to be married to her, and to have her directing our team. Anne is fluent in Thai.
