Over the years, my clients have expressed diverse plans and dreams. I seek to truly understand and appreciate my clients' goals, focusing my efforts on realizing them. It has been fun learning more about the unique opportunities that attract people to the area such as the culinary community, the viticulture and wine industry as well as outdoor adventure tourism. It is important to me to listen to my clients, do what it takes to serve their needs and I am dedicated to treating everyone involved in a transaction both in a personal and professional manner. I work hard to anticipate and respond to the routine tasks at hand as well as the complex challenges that come up during real estate transactions while ensuring my goal to deliver you the outcome you desire.
During my twenty years of real estate sales and marketing experience, I have sold hundreds of properties while developing detailed knowledge of Sonoma & Napa area communities. I am a life-long resident in the North Bay and after a full day at work, I enjoy spending time with my four children, and participating in their many school and recreational activities.
"Michael is so knowledgeable with regard to this area - the whole North Bay really - but especially Rohnert Park & Petaluma. He is honest, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable - honestly, he kept my husband and I same throughout the home-buying process! We had only ever owned new build in the past so we didn't know anything about a normal purchase - he was amazing through all kinds of complexities - everything from solar panels to pest inspections! I'm very picky and I ask a million questions - Michael was sooo patient and kind. Honestly, if you need a local expert who you can count on and who will absolutely look out for you, then you can't do better than Michael! I recommend him without reservation! You can't go wrong :)"
"I was completely satisfied with my agent. Very courteous, very patient, very helpful. Kimberly and Michael Bell kept me in the loop every day with all the new houses on the market. I will definitely recommend them to everybody."
"Very Good Agent! She looked for our home for at least a year without any hint of the time spent on unsuccessful offers. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to have their best interests at heart."
"Excellent Realtor! He stayed on top of everything every day. Very energetic, very professional, very knowledgeable."
"Provided very prompt communication and was willing and open to answering any questions I had."
"Michael Bell represented me in my recent real estate transaction. I found him to be professional and very attentive to my needs. He was prompt in responding to my ceaseless questions. When I found the property I was interested in, he provided wise counsel in making an acceptable offer. I highly recommend him to you."
"Michael was fast to respond to any query and setting up viewings. He and his wife Kimberly were always professional and diligent workers. We would have no hesitation using them again."
"Thank you so much for all of your hard work and patience over these past couple of years! Thank you for all of the home visits, meetings, emails, and phone calls."
"I just recently found my dream home, by using Michael and Kim Bell to search for just the perfect place for my family of four. They are always right there with you every step of the way. I couldn't have did it without them."
"Michael and Kimberly Bell are absolutely fantastic!! They constantly went above and beyond with every bit of the selling process. Their marketing efforts prior to hitting the mls yielded us an awesome offer BEFORE we even hit the market or ran an open house. Their communication with me throughout the process was nothing less than phenomenal! Great people, even better service, which led to a fantastic experience and end result of my house being sold well above asking price!"
"Kimberly was excellent. she quickly helped us find the type of house that we wanted, and then was extremely responsive and helpful in the sometimes overwhelming process of closing on the house. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the negotiations process. We couldn't have done it without her!"
"Kimberly did a fantastic job at finding the perfect home for my daughter. she was able to let us know about it before it went back on the market so that we didn't have to be in another bidding war."
"Michael is very helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable about his business. We were so lucky to get him as our agent. Thank you."
"He went above and beyond for us. Michael was a master at finding the perfect house for our family, and he got us in the day we wanted to move and under budget! Can't thank him enough!"
"Michael was always there when Kimberly wasn't available and was also as knowledgeable and helpful as she was. They make a great team!"
"Always on time, honest, hard working and extremely helpful."
"Mike has been awesome with us - patient and responsive all along our search that commenced over 6 months ago. He took the time to understand our likes and needs an, showed us many many homes across Sonoma, Napa and Suisun Valley, until he found us the fight property. Along the way, we appreciated the scenic routes he took us through the valley, which made our decision to buy a property in the wine country even more attractive :)"
"There are no words that can express how much my wife and I appreciated everything Michael and Kimberly did for us as our real estate agents. They really go so very far above and beyond. You can tell they really care about you. When we faced difficulties during the sales process, Michael and Kimberly were there every step of the way, helping us through it, advocating for us, and giving us very sound advice. You can't go wrong with these two. If you are looking to sell your home, please call them. You won't be sorry! Oh, and if you're looking to buy a house, call them for that, too! They were our real estate agents when we bought our home a few years ago and it was a wonderful experience! They're the best!"
"Michael and Kimberly are fantastic! They helped us buy our first home and were extremely patient with our needs and time frames. They offered insights and suggestions on local schools, kids activities, good restaurants, best driving times and routes to avoid traffic as well as other local services. I really enjoyed working with them and highly recommend them
"All I can say is wow, and thank you! For your patience over so many months, showing us so many properties; for your knowledgeable counsel; for taking the time to understand our needs; and for fighting mercilessly on our behalf when necessary. You are an outstanding, incredibly hard working agent and we're so glad we found you!"
