Michael Mellgren, Realtor

As a Southern California native, Michael understands firsthand what a privilege it is to live and work in the most dynamic, beautiful, and prosperous state in the nation—California. That’s why Michael has made it his career mission to help any and all achieve their California real estate dreams in a manner specifically tailored to their individual goals and aspirations.

Raised in Yorba Linda, Michael has an intimate familiarity with the local community as he attended Travis Ranch and Esperanza High School where he was actively involved in both tennis and basketball. Later he attended the University of California, Riverside where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and minor in Business Administration.

After college, Michael worked in management at the local Yorba Linda Costco prior to attending Loyola Law School, Los Angeles where he earned his J.D. with graduation distinctions in negotiations and commercial law. Michael then passed the California bar exam and worked as a civil litigation attorney at two prominent Southern California law firms where he further honed his negotiation and advocacy skills for the benefit of his clients.

Fulfilled but not professionally satisfied, Michael decided that his skills would be most meaningfully effective in the world of real estate which then led him to become an agent with ERA North Orange County Real Estate in Yorba Linda. Now he has the pleasure of bringing his legal and management acumen to work in helping his clients buy and sell California real estate.

Michael is married to his lovely wife Victoria in which they share three beautiful children: Eva, Noah, and Ezra. When he is not delivering for his clients, he and his family regularly attend church at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. Michael hopes that one day his prayers are answered so that one of his children comes to love tennis as much as he does!
