Real Estate and Interior Design are my passion. I was born into a design family and have created a real estate career that makes me proud. I bring an interesting background of careers that help my clients with negotiations, proper pricing, marketing and interior design.
Fun fact: I was a White House On Air Correspondent for an ABC TV News station in Arkansas. (I have great stories) lots of fantastic interviews (my favorite part) but I hated being on camera.
I switched to a Producer and Writer for a CBS TV News station-I wrote all of the news for anchors to read for both the morning and noon shows. My shift was 3AM-1PM...almost nocturnal.
I had my own Interior Design Firm.
I owned my own Interior Design and retail store in Linden Hills called Maison Rouge.
I developed a website and designed horse tack for my own company in Eagan called Thehaughtyhorse.com. I had some famous clients who loved my equine designs!
I am an empty nester who devotes 7-days a week to my job.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Maggie Mell to purchase my first, and very special, dream home. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure! From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, Maggie was professional, highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. She went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of and demonstrated immense patience and understanding whenever a question arose (which was almost everyday haha!)
Over a month after my closing date, she has texted me asking how renos and things are going, I have felt comfortable communicating any little question, and her response time is immediate. Thank you so much for all your help, highly recommend" - Lauren U.
"Maggie had the home staged and photographed like it was a feature in a home design magazine. She also understood the value in slightly under pricing our home so that we got multiple offers and exceeded our expectation on sale price.
She was responsive to all our questions and needs and took care of everything we needed help with by managing every aspect of the process.
She did many of the showings herself so that she could explain the beauty and value of an old historic property to potential buyers.
We were very happy with our results. Maggie is an excellent agent that gives it her all." - John S.
"Maggie Mell was the best, she made buying a house in the current market so wonderful. Before we were blessed with Maggie my husband and I had a terrible realtor experience who didn’t make us a priority. But Maggie listened to what we needed and wanted sent us great listings and then made us feel heard and was always available for questions and got back to us right away. Then she did the amazing and got us into our dream home. I will always recommend Maggie to anyone who is in need of a realtor." - Steph E.
"We interviewed three realtors from different companies and picked Maggie and couldn't be happier we did. She's incredibly responsive, provides helpful feedback when touring houses and is a true partner. She helped write an offer that got us a house we love in a difficult market. If we were looking to move again I wouldn't hesitate on who to call." - George C.
