Michelle Bakkedahl Joins Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties

MONARCH BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Michelle Bakkedahl recently moved her thriving real estate business to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “Michelle has a tenacious work ethic and a warm, engaging personality,” said Jeana Sander, Branch Manager and Regional Vice President for Orange County. “Along with her creative approach to marketing and commitment to help her clients develop a strategic plan that is perfectly aligned with their goals, this has made her one of our area’s most sought-after professionals for many years.”

Specializing in Dana Point and Coastal Orange County real estate since 2009, Bakkedahl has distinguished herself by developing unique video presentations for her listings and creating sweeping online marketing campaigns, using the most highly trafficked social media platforms. Leveraging her extensive online presence, she is able to quickly and effectively target key demographics and connect with large pools of qualified buyers.

“Social media is an integral part of the marketing plans I develop for my clients, as it helps me generate maximum exposure and deliver the best possible results,” said Bakkedahl. “It’s also been useful for me to disseminate timely, neighborhood-specific market updates and guidance on how to navigate the purchase, sale or investment process.”

Bakkedahl explained that Warren Buffett’s reputation as a business leader and philanthropist has long been a source of inspiration in her personal and professional life: “Joining Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties was the best possible decision for me and my clients. My clients are everything and I never take the trust they place in me for granted. I wanted them to know I’m associated with a brand that is recognized worldwide for ethics and integrity.”

Bakkedahl added that the company’s advanced technological capabilities will also lead to an enhanced level of service and support for her clients. “With technology that streamlines the transaction process, assists with communications, increases the reach and attractiveness of our marketing, and connects agents to a broad array of virtual training opportunities, the benefits of joining Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties were clear,” she said.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Bakkedahl enjoys building relationships and connecting with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. “Whether my clients want to buy or sell the next day or create a comprehensive strategy that covers the next three to five years, my goal is to provide a tailor-made solution. Along with being the most effective means of creating generational wealth, home is where the heart is and I love the idea that I can be a difference-maker in the lives of my clients,” Bakkedahl noted.

Bakkedahl credits her success to her focus on providing open, honest communications and research skills, which allow her to develop accurate property valuations, evaluate market conditions and forecast future trends. Committed to gently and efficiently guide her clients to the outcome that is the most closely aligned with their needs, goals and dreams for the future, she has built a strong business based on referrals and repeat transactions.

Bakkedahl also believes her experience as a rental property owner has been essential. Drawing from this experience, she provides her clients with reliable insights on how to assess capitalization rates, secure leases with the best possible terms, minimize vacancies, and maximize return on investment.

When she isn’t busy helping her clients, Bakkedahl enjoys snowboarding at Big Bear and spending time with her family, including her two young children. She looks forward to learning more about you and helping you achieve your goals.
