Since 2005, Rich Mell has been a trusted name in Chicago real estate. He began his real estate career at Dreamtown before opening his own brokerage in 2012, driven by a desire to provide a more personalized and hands-on experience for his clients. In 2018, Coldwell Banker acquired his brokerage, and today, Rich continues to serve sellers across the Chicagoland area with the same entrepreneurial spirit, attention to detail, and deep commitment to results.

With two decades of experience, Rich has worked independently, led successful teams, and owned his own firm—giving him a well-rounded understanding of what it takes to sell homes effectively. He knows that in traditional team models, details can slip through the cracks. That’s why he takes a more focused approach, personally managing every part of the selling process to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Rich's pricing, marketing, and showing strategies are grounded in real data—not guesswork. He combines market analytics, buyer psychology, and proven systems to maximize exposure and deliver exceptional outcomes. Leveraging a strong personal and professional network, he often connects sellers with buyers even before a home hits the market.

Rich holds multiple industry certifications, including:

• Guild Member of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing

• Certified Distressed Property Expert

• Expired and Canceled Listing Specialist

• KMC Community Market Leader

• Coldwell Banker Diamond Society Member

• Top Producing Agent

Each certification reflects his ongoing investment in knowledge, tools, and resources that benefit his clients at every price point.

To Rich, clients are never just transactions—they're partners. Many become friends, and some even feel like family. His mission is simple: sell every home for top dollar, with as little stress as possible. When you work with Rich, you're not just hiring a real estate broker—you’re gaining a dedicated advocate who’s by your side from start to finish.
