From Behind the Scenes to Center Stage: Michelle Colbert’s Journey to Real Estate

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, we sit down with Michelle Colbert, a real estate agent whose path to real estate took her from military bases to Hollywood stages and ultimately into the heart of Los Angeles real estate.

Michelle shares how growing up in a military family taught her the survival skills that later helped her navigate a male-dominated entertainment industry—working behind the scenes as a lighting designer and electrician for global music legends like Chaka Khan, Rita Marley, and The Whalers. Her knack for logistics and production seamlessly transitioned into the real estate world, where she now thrives.

We dive into:

• Her transition from entertainment to real estate

• How production skills shaped her approach to real estate transactions

• Navigating multifamily and single-family investments

• Why relationship-building and value-first service are key to her success

• A powerful real-life story of helping a client avoid foreclosure with creative problem-solving
