Hey there! I'm Michael Bardales, your local Bay Area Real Estate Agent.
I was born in San Francisco and raised in the East Bay. I've explored diverse Bay Area markets from Alameda to Contra Costa County, San Francisco, and Solano County. My passion lies in providing top-notch client service, offering concierge-style guidance through buying and selling.

Thanks for considering me, as your Personal Real Estate Agent. Let's make some real estate magic happen!
I was in a unique situation where I needed to find a home quickly. I was able to connect with Mike, find the place I was looking for, and get it through escrow expeditiously. As a first time home buyer, there were a lot of questions I had and things I had to learn along the way, but with Mike's help I am very happy with my home in Alameda!

Where do I even begin to write my review on Michael? He was such an awesome real estate agent. Every email, every phone call, and every meeting was great! Michael knows his stuff, and despite what people say about real estate agents, he isn't just about the money. He worked with us on every possible situation and walked us through everything! There's so much we didn't know before buying a house, but Michael made the process that much easier. We went touring on a few homes, and despite feeling down about being outbid, he told us to be patient and not to worry.

Me and my fiance have been looking for a house with Michael and I can not say enough about how much he has helped with ALL of our questions. He is very patient and will always advise on the best situation for his clients. He has a background in the lending business, so his knowledge on the house purchasing process is infinite. Thanks Michael!

When looking to sell my sister's house in Richmond, Michael immediately realized the difficult situation we faced with the house full of "stuff" that would be difficult for us to get rid of due to our not residing in the area. He offered to hold an estate sale without charge, apply the proceeds to, and to arrange for the removal of the remaining items. He had multiple offers for the house within days of it being on the market and we ended selling it for more than the fair asking price that he recommended. Michael is a professional in every sense of the word, and I would highly recommend his service to you.
