History of Mansell in Real Estate

The Past: Mansell and Associates

The legacy of the Mansell name in real estate began in 1974 when Al Mansell founded Mansell and Associates in Utah. With a vision for building a brokerage defined by trust, innovation, and excellence, Al led the company to become the largest independent real estate brokerage in the state. Known for its high standards of professionalism and customer service, Mansell and Associates quickly earned a reputation as one of Utah’s most respected firms.In 1998, Mansell and Associates became the first real estate brokerage in Utah to earn the Better Business Bureau’s Ethics in Business Award, a testament to its unwavering commitment to integrity. This recognition reflected the core values that have guided the Mansell name from the beginning: trust, ethics, and dedication to the community.   In 2001, after nearly three decades of success, Mansell and Associates was sold to Coldwell Banker. This marked a pivotal moment in the family’s journey, allowing Al to expand his influence beyond real estate as president of the Utah State Senate and the National Association of Realtors. These roles further elevated the Mansell name as a symbol of excellence and leadership.

The Present: Mansell Real Estate

Following the sale of Mansell and Associates, the Mansell family remained deeply rooted in Utah’s real estate market. Darren Mansell, Al’s son, carried forward the family legacy with his own extraordinary achievements. Starting as a Realtor, Darren quickly established himself as one of the top performers in the industry. In 2005, he achieved national recognition as the #1 Realtor in the nation, selling more homes than any other agent that year. Over his career, he has sold over $1 billion in real estate, solidifying his reputation as one of the most accomplished professionals in the field.Beyond his success as a Realtor, Darren has made a significant impact as a developer. Over the past three decades, he has developed more than 3,000 units across Utah, demonstrating his expertise in managing complex projects and delivering exceptional results. His contributions have left a lasting mark on the communities he has served.   In 2011, Darren brought the Mansell name back to Utah real estate by founding Mansell Real Estate. Under his leadership, the brokerage has become a symbol of trust and excellence. Today, Mansell Real Estate serves as both the foundation of the family’s success and a springboard for their future endeavors.
