Agency Premier Sotheby's International Realty
Description
Originally from Kansas, The Village sales associate Mimi Markel found a second home in sunny Naples, where she's owned a condo in The Lutgert Companies trendy Terraces at Park Shore high-rise since 2014. She relocated to Naples full time in early 2019, bringing nearly 25 years of experience as a real estate professional to Premier Sotheby's International Realty.
It was in her hometown that Mimi first embarked on her career as a REALTOR® in 1998, selling residential properties in Kansas City. After more than 20 years in the industry, Mimi took a break from real estate and opened a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Shop, a resort chic lifestyle brand. Operating a retail clothing store for seven years gave her a unique perspective on how to successfully deliver customer fulfillment in all aspects of business. She often opened her shop after-hours for those who sought extra service, and built exceptional relationships as a result of her willingness to go the extra mile. Today, she translates that retail experience into a similar approach in delivering customer fulfillment – a higher state than customer satisfaction – to the Naples residential market.
Mimi takes great pride in her referral-based business model, and seeks out creative solutions that other associates may not have thought of when it comes to ensuring that her buyers and sellers are fulfilled, not simply satisfied, with their real estate transactions. The relationships she builds with her customers are of the utmost importance to Mimi. You can place your trust in her knowing that you can expect a higher level of expertise in the purchase and sale process, a higher level of responsiveness, a higher level of market knowledge and a higher level of communication.
A graduate of Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, Mimi holds a Bachelor of Arts in organizational communications, and also completed iconic interior designer Carleton Varney's School of Decorating. Having remodeled and flipped four homes in 2007 alone, she understands the importance of staging and design when it comes to selling a home. Mimi is a member of the Kansas Association of REALTORS®, the Naples Area Board of REALTORS®, and the Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program. The mother of four grown children, Mimi enjoys walking, swimming, playing tennis and consignment shopping in her spare time. With nearly four decades of experience in luxury real estate, Mimi Markel is a dedicated global real estate advisor with Premier Sotheby's International Realty's Village office. Originally from Kansas City, she spent over 30 years representing fine residences in the region before establishing herself in Naples, Florida, where she specializes in premier beachfront properties.
Mimi's refined expertise extends beyond real estate, encompassing design, staging, and strategic marketing. As the former owner of Under the Palm Tree, a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store in Leawood, Kansas, she developed an exceptional eye for style and luxury, seamlessly integrating these elements into her approach to home presentation. She further honed her design acumen at the esteemed Carlton Varney School of Decorating. She successfully renovated and sold multiple properties, demonstrating her keen understanding of value enhancement and aesthetic appeal.
Her business is built upon trust, discretion, and long-standing relationships, with a loyal customer base that spans generations. Recognized as an authority on The Terraces in Park Shore, she offers unparalleled insight into one of Naples' most sought-after beachfront residences. A proud member of Sotheby's exclusive 1744 Club, Mimi exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism, negotiation, and market expertise.
Beyond her career, Mimi embraces a dynamic and cultured lifestyle. She is a devoted traveler, passionate lap swimmer, and active Grey Oaks Country Club member. She finds inspiration in the arts, attending Broadway performances, musical events, and lectures at Artis—Naples. A true connoisseur of fine dining, she delights in exploring Naples' ever-evolving culinary scene.
Guided by the philosophy of "selling a lifestyle," Mimi Markel is more than a real estate advisor — she is a trusted partner in curating exceptional living experiences for her customers.
