Jason Bergman Recognized as a Top Rated Real Estate Agent in Pasadena
Updated September 2026
Jason Bergman, a Luxury Real Estate Advisor with The Agency Pasadena, was recognized by Business Rate Awards as a Top Agent in Pasadena for 2025, placing among the Top 5 of 25 real estate agents recognized in Pasadena.
““Being recognized as a top rated real estate agent in Pasadena is meaningful, but for me it comes back to the work itself. Understanding the architecture, the neighborhood, the buyer and how to position each property is what ultimately drives the result.””
That recognition supports Jason's growing reputation as a top rated real estate agent in Pasadena, backed by direct experience representing buyers and sellers across the city. His Pasadena real estate experience includes the sale of a 1913 Sears Roebuck Craftsman at 463 Toolen Place, an English Tudor Revival residence at 2086 Brigden Road, 863 N Hill Avenue in Bungalow Heaven and 331 Glen Summer Road in San Rafael.
He also represented the buyer of the Hutchins House at 206 North Grand Avenue, an 1899 Queen Anne Victorian designated as a Pasadena City Landmark.
Together, those transactions span many of the neighborhoods, architectural styles and property types that define Pasadena real estate.

Jason Bergman Top Rated Real Estate Agent In Pasadena Award, 2025
Business Rate Awards Top Agent Pasadena 2025
Jason Bergman was recognized by Business Rate Awards as a Top Agent in Pasadena for 2025, placing among the Top 5 of 25 real estate agents recognized in Pasadena.
The recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects Jason's work in a market where he has represented buyers and sellers across multiple Pasadena neighborhoods and property types.
Pasadena is not one uniform housing market. Values, buyer behavior and marketing strategy can vary significantly between Bungalow Heaven, San Rafael, South Arroyo, Madison Heights, Oak Knoll, Linda Vista, Playhouse Village and other neighborhoods throughout the city.
That is why local experience matters.
A top rated real estate agent in Pasadena should understand not only recent comparable sales, but also architecture, historic significance, lot characteristics, neighborhood demand, buyer behavior and the factors that make one Pasadena property different from another.
Explore those differences in more detail in Jason's Pasadena neighborhood and real estate guide.
Pasadena Real Estate Experience
Jason Bergman's Pasadena experience includes representing buyers and sellers across historic homes, architecturally significant residences, luxury property and residential neighborhoods throughout the city.
463 Toolen Place
At 463 Toolen Place in Pasadena, Jason represented the seller of a 1913 Sears Roebuck Craftsman.
The home was listed for $975,000, received more than 10 offers and sold for $1,225,000.
The sale demonstrates how architectural character, pricing, presentation and marketing can influence buyer demand in Pasadena.
Historic Pasadena homes are often more than a collection of bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. Buyers may place significant value on architectural style, original details, neighborhood context and provenance.

2086 Brigden Road
Jason also represented the seller of 2086 Brigden Road, an English Tudor Revival residence in Pasadena.
The property was listed at $1,250,000, received 20 offers in four days and sold for $1,550,000, or $300,000 above the asking price.
The result reflects the importance of positioning a Pasadena home correctly from the beginning.
Pricing, preparation, photography, architectural storytelling, launch strategy and buyer competition can all influence the outcome of a Pasadena sale.

863 N Hill Avenue, Bungalow Heaven
Jason represented the seller of 863 N Hill Avenue in Bungalow Heaven, one of Pasadena's best known historic residential neighborhoods.
The property was listed at $2,049,000 and sold for $2,130,000.
Bungalow Heaven is known for its concentration of early twentieth century Craftsman homes and remains one of the most recognizable architectural neighborhoods in Pasadena.
Selling in a neighborhood like Bungalow Heaven requires an understanding of both the broader Pasadena market and the architectural identity that draws buyers specifically to the area.
331 Glen Summer Road, San Rafael
In Pasadena's San Rafael neighborhood, Jason listed 331 Glen Summer Road at $3,200,000.
The property sold for $3,895,000, or $695,000 above the asking price.
Homes in San Rafael can require a different valuation approach from properties in central Pasadena.
Lot size, views, topography, privacy, architecture, land and setting can materially influence value.
That is one reason direct neighborhood experience is especially important when evaluating higher value Pasadena property.
Learn more about San Rafael and other Pasadena neighborhoods in the Pasadena real estate guide.
The Hutchins House
Jason represented the buyer of the Hutchins House at 206 North Grand Avenue, an 1899 Queen Anne Victorian designated as a Pasadena City Landmark.
The residence is located within the Arroyo Terrace National Historic District and represents another side of Pasadena real estate: historically and architecturally significant property where value cannot always be understood through conventional comparable sales alone.
When evaluating a landmark or historic home, considerations may include architecture, historic designation, prior renovations, original details, condition, restoration history, setting and long term stewardship.
Pasadena Architecture and Historic Homes
Architecture is one of the defining characteristics of Pasadena real estate.
The city includes significant examples of Craftsman, English Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Queen Anne Victorian, Mediterranean Revival and Midcentury Modern architecture.
Pasadena is also home to some of Southern California's most recognized architectural landmarks, including the Gamble House and the Robert R. Blacker House, both designed by Greene and Greene.
That architectural history plays an important role in how many Pasadena homes are valued and marketed.
A historically significant Pasadena home should not necessarily be treated the same way as a conventional property nearby.
Architecture, provenance, restoration quality, original materials, neighborhood context and scarcity can all affect buyer demand and long term value.
Jason's experience with historic and architecturally significant properties helps inform how these homes are evaluated, positioned and represented.

What Makes a Top Rated Real Estate Agent in Pasadena?
There is no single definition of a top rated real estate agent in Pasadena, but buyers and sellers should look for several things.
Direct Pasadena transaction experience is important.
So is an understanding of the city's neighborhoods, architecture and property types.
For sellers, an experienced Pasadena real estate agent should be able to identify what makes a property valuable to the most likely buyer and build the pricing and marketing strategy around those characteristics.
For buyers, the analysis should extend beyond list price and square footage to include relevant comparable sales, architecture, condition, location, lot characteristics, historic status, buyer competition and future resale potential.
The best representation is property specific.
That is especially true in a city where Pasadena neighborhoods and housing styles can vary considerably within only a few miles.

Buying a Home in Pasadena
Jason represents buyers throughout Pasadena, including Bungalow Heaven, San Rafael, South Arroyo, Madison Heights, Oak Knoll, Linda Vista, Playhouse Village, Hastings Ranch and other neighborhoods across the city.
Buyer representation can include:
Property and comparable sale analysis
Offer strategy
Historic property considerations
Architectural research
Inspection and due diligence strategy
Negotiation
Condominium and HOA review
Investment analysis
Development and redevelopment considerations
Pasadena buyers often face decisions that require more than comparing price per square foot.
Architecture, neighborhood, historic designation, lot orientation, condition, walkability, future renovation potential and resale value may all influence the decision.
Buyers can explore these areas in detail through Jason's Pasadena Real Estate and Homes for Sale guide.
Selling a Home in Pasadena
Selling a Pasadena home begins with understanding the specific property.
At 463 Toolen Place, the story included Sears Roebuck Craftsman architecture.
At 2086 Brigden Road, the property was an English Tudor Revival residence that attracted 20 offers in four days.
At 331 Glen Summer Road, the land, setting and San Rafael location required a different positioning strategy.
There is no universal formula.
Pricing, preparation, photography, architectural storytelling, digital distribution, broker outreach, launch timing, private network exposure and negotiation should all be built around the individual property and the buyers most likely to value it.
Homeowners considering a sale can also use the Pasadena real estate guide to better understand the neighborhoods, housing styles and market context surrounding their property.
