  Brad makes the typically stressful event of buying and selling homes a smooth and actually enjoyable process! He is excellent at listening to your needs/ desires, communicating with all parties... read more and is truly always available for his clients. We found Brad's honest and optimistic way refreshing and just what we needed to feel comfortable during a sometimes unnerving process. Brad goes above and beyond on all fronts and provides dedicated, personalized service to his clients- we'd HIGHLY recommend him!

  I have worked with Brad on several transactions, and find him to be super professional.  It is so refreshing to work with a communicative Realtor that sets accurate expectations, is... read more friendly, experienced, and creative. I have also recommended Brad to several of my clients that need Real Estate Services, and he has always served them well.  Thanks Brad!

  I can't recommend Brad enough. As a first time homebuyer I wasn't sure what my expectations should be and I was really nervous about it, but I never felt pressured.... read more It's a tough market, but Brad remained positive, confident I'd find a home and communicated every step of the process. I can be a little impatient but Brad works swiftly and is always one step ahead. He's also incredibly knowledgeable and has an answer to every question and that helped quickly ease my fears. Even after I closed on this home he stays in touch and is always willing provide recommendations for any help I need (plumbers, handy man, etc.).

  Brad was recommended to us(my wife and I) through our Mortgage Broker.  We had looked at a few places with a few other realtors and really landed on him because... read more he was easy to talk to.  He felt trust worthy and it was easy for us to speak our minds, positive or negative, while looking at places.  My wife mostly looked at places with him and he was very patient with us.  We were looking for something in our budget range and though some of our offers were well below market, he encouraged us nonetheless.  We didn't feel as though we had to speak up extra loud for his time, and he was consistent in checking with us to make sure we had all our questions answered and were comfortable.

The process itself was very smooth, we asked him loads of questions and he had answers for all of them.  I leave the experience understanding a lot more.  Finding people to educate you through these processes is important and Brad was good at that.

  Brad Michels is one of the best. It was such a pleasure to meet and work with such an amazing person. Not only did Brad become my realtor, but he... read more also became a friend.
He is always there to help and answer questions no matter where he is and if he can't answer he knows someone who can.
Brad did what others said could not be done and he always call with an update.
Thanks for everything Brad and I pray continuous blessings for you and your family.

  Brad was awesome.  This was my first time buying a condo and he made the whole process very easy!  He took me to as many places as I wanted, told... read more me if they were fair market value or what we should go in on for an offer, and walked me through everything after the offer was accepted.  He knew everyone that I would need to be in contact with-lender, home inspector, and anything else. It made the whole process easier especially for someone who is new and doesn't know anything about home buying.  He communicated well and was always there when I had questions or needed him.

Brad is a genuinely good person with great intentions and you can feel that from the first time you meet him.  I am very fortunate and will be recommending him to anyone else I know to buy a home.

  I can't speak highly enough for THE MICHELS GROUP.  Brad is amazing, which is hard to say about a lot of realtors. He met with me 5 yrs ago when... read more I first moved to San Diego from the East Coast, not knowing where to rent property. He didn't even deal with rentals but was nice enough to meet with me at a local Starbucks and gave me the best advice on the different areas of San Diego. He was a godsend, not knowing the area, he gave great advice, with nothing in return, accept to remember him when it comes time to buy. Well... 5 years later, I called him ready to buy. He was wonderful, knowledgeable, and always reachable!  He connected me to the best people to make it all happen. All questions or concerns were answered in timely manner. My closing ending-up happening while I was away, and he handled everything including doing a realtime walk through after inspection corrections. He made it so easy! I have already referred Brad to friends, who had great success with THE MICHELS GROUP finding the perfect place. He makes things happen and goes above and beyond for all his clients. And it doesn't stop at the closing. He keeps in touch with his past clients on a regular basis. He means it when he says, he's never to busy for his clients or referrals.

  I am writing this brief note to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Brad Michels of the Michels Group Realty.  Brad assisted my family in the purchase of our new home... read more in Del Cerro.  We moved from out of state, which can make purchasing a home difficult.  Further, we had a specific area that we were interested in, which had very few houses for sale.  And, those houses that did become available sold very quickly.  This was a difficult move in the sense that we had to sell out of state and then find a place to purchase with in a specific time frame so that we would not be homeless!  To further complicate things, being new to San Diego, we were not well versed in the real estate market.  Brad walked us through everything and met us twice to look at houses.  He offered very good advice and helped us to avoid some potential problems.  The first time we came to look at houses, Brad had already planned a vacation with his family.  He was very generous (as was his family) about coming back for a day to help us with our search.  For our second visit, Brad had less than 24 hours notice, and still made our search a priority.  We successfully found a home in the area we wanted, with the requirements we were looking for and absolutely could not have done all of this without Brad's assistance.  Not only that, Brad was present for inspections and available for closing.  I would also comment that Brad is a blast to be around.  He is upbeat, positive and really knows real estate!  If you are in the market to buy or sell a home, give Brad a call.  He will make the process fun (as fun as it can be) and will definitely protect your interests!

  Last year, at the age of 24 I decided I was going to buy a house. Problem was, no one in my family had ever bought or owned a home.... read more The entire process to me was foreign; I even recall googling, "What is Escrow?" With virtually no one there to guide me, in steps Brad and his wonderful team. He was recommended to me by a family friend and I am beyond ecstatic and blessed that I had the opportunity to work with him. What made Brad heaven sent was that on the first day of meeting him he took the time to really get to know me. We did not jump straight into "how many bedrooms? What location? You want a fireplace?" he took the time to understand my personality, my home life, my career and why I was choosing to buy a home. I've heard horror stories of realtors handing their clientele the short end of the stick and being pushy to ensure a sale goes down. Brad is none of those and while I was teetering back and forth between I want to buy no wait I don't, he said "If you decide you don't want to buy now we can pick up later when you are ready." Guarantee you're more likely to find a realtor who will say "the market is good, buy now, why wait?" Every little question, no matter how minuscule it may have been was answered and I always walked away from our conversations feeling more and more confident about being a home owner. Brad always gave me his honest opinion and truly had my best interest at heart. Regardless if you're dead set on buying a home or like me, often indecisive be sure to get in contact with Brad, you will not regret it!

  We recently sold a rental condo with Brad. This was an easy, stress free process thanks to the expertise and skill of Brad. Brad was able to sell our condo... read more for $10,000 more than we ever expected. Brad helped our decision making process to put the condo on the market. He is very knowledgeable of our current market and trends. Over the last several years, he created market analysis for us so that we had an idea of what our condo was worth. Brad was very patient with my endless questions and he was great at returning my phone calls and emails. He helped us when purchasing our primary residence in 2011 and when selling our old primary residence in 2011. I could not be happier with the level of service provided by Brad. I would highly recommend his service to anyone in need.
