About Mickey
Knickerbocker became a real estate agent in 1988, just as the market was peaking. After 28
years of up markets and down with the leading brokerage in Manhattan Beach, she moved to
Teles Properties in 2016. Knickerbocker chose Teles because of the support that they provide
to agents to help make their clients successful in reaching their real estate goals. In 2017 Teles and Knickerbocker joined the prestigious firm, Douglas Elliman.
Over the years, she says she has had “many wonderful experiences,” especially now at Douglas Elliman. Knickerbocker has made a career of being deeply involved in real estate. As a volunteer for the local South Bay Real Estate Association, she chaired the Education Committee and the Political
Activities Committee. She was honored to receive the REALTOR of the Year Award from the
Association. Knickerbocker also served as Committee Chair to President of the Southern
California Chapter of Residential Specialists, which fosters education and best practices for
REALTOR members - only 3% of the nation’s realtor have earned this designation.
Knickerbocker also holds the Certified International Property Specialist designation.
One of her favorite and most rewarding assignments was as President’s Liaison to
Latvia. During her five year term, she visited the country twice to meet and work with their real
estate association, teach a class there and meet their members.
All the while, Knickerbocker counts herself fortunate to have lived and worked in Manhattan
Beach, and counted the South Bay as home. “It is a dynamic market place requiring an in-depth knowledge of inventory as well as a tried and true process to deliver the highest possible results,” Knickerbocker says.
The beach is a long way from the mid-west, but she still loves reading and music as much as
she did as a little girl, as well as the small town feel of Manhattan Beach while being close to
every cultural and educational opportunity anyone could ask for.

I needed a referral to the "beach communities" in LA and selected Mickey out of many resources available to us as agents. It was an excellent choice as I received nothing but glowing reports of how happy they were working with her. The deal has closed, she called ME immediately as she should and I would definitely refer her again. She will be my "go to" gal in the future!
We have had Mickey represent us in 3 real estate transactions in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach, both as a buyer and a seller. Mickey does an excellent job in showing us home properties that fit what we are looking for. Mickey has all the skills necessary to complete your real estate transaction in a very professional manner. She is well organized and cares about representing you.
"You can't go wrong with Mickey on your side. She's incredibly knowledgeable of the industry and the South Bay. During our home search process, she was flexible about working with our schedule and time frame, communicated regularly and clearly without "bugging" us, offered opinions about properties when asked, pointed out issues or benefits we might have missed, and didn't hover when we went through a house. Mickey was friendly without being overbearing, and always had our best interests in mind when working with other realtors. She went above and beyond to make for a great home buying experience. No regrets, and I would recommend her to anyone looking in the South Bay."
Mickey is lovely to work with (no hype, no high pressure), clearly has her clients best interest at heart, and is dedicated to providing superior service. Our professional relationship has spanned 16 years. She helped place me in a unique Manhattan Beach property in 1998, and more recently has been working with me as a prospective seller. I was concerned about a potential mold problem, and Mickey provided me with several referrals for reputable mold inspectors. I didn't end up having a problem, learned I needed to have other work performed, at which time she provided me with additional resources for roofers, contractors and architects. All of the referrals were top notch. Mickey went the extra mile for me by participating in meetings to represent me, and she also helped me make decisions that will ultimately increase the value of my property. I am extremely grateful for her time and support. This level of commitment and service is rare and has resulted in her gaining a loyal lifetime client.
We were very impressed with Mickey's knowledge and willingness to always get us an answer no matter what our question. Her insight was so valuable in our home buying decision, and we will be return clients.
We engaged Mickey Knickerbocker to help us sell our home. Mickey has a stellar reputation for her skill and integrity. She invested significant time and patience helping us understand how our home might be best shown to help bring the price we had in mind. We followed Mickey's advice and were thrilled when she sold the home in 4 days. Mickey knows the area and she nows how to sell homes and/or find the best fit for her clients. We still have property in the area and will be working with Mickey in the future. Mickey's just simply the best!
Mickey helped me sell my house in Manhattan Beach while I was overseas. At first, I had reservations about selling my house while physically outside the country, but Mickey's deep knowledge of the real estate market, as well as her ability to lead me through the latest technologies (various web-based software related to real estate transactions), allowed the transaction to go very smoothly without any kind of hiccup. I am extremely satisfied with her service, and I recommend her enthusiastically.!
Mickey Knickerbocker is an expert in the South Bay Real Estate market. I was recommended to her by a friend, and my husband and I were thrilled to work with her. Mickey knows her business, and colleagues in the area highly respect her, and well they should. Thorough, intelligent, and sensitive to the buyer's needs, Mickey was incredibly impressive on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. I would recommend anyone to work with Mickey, and if they are smart, they will! On top of her professionalism and expertise, Mickey is kind and thoughtful, and is filled with professional integrity which makes the best in business, We lucked out when we found her and couldn't be happier in our new home. She's exceptional. Thanks, Mickey, for all your hard work and friendship.
