Hi, I’m Madison! And I’m celebrating 10 incredible years in real estate, pinch me! I’m more excited than ever for what lies ahead. As cliche as it might seem, I’m stepping into this new year with the most ambitious goals I’ve ever set—personally and professionally. From diving into fresh new projects (hello, my first blog post EVER!), to embracing the next chapter of my career, I can’t help but reflect on the amazing journey these past ten years have been. Whether you’ve known me for years, worked with me on your real estate journey, or are currently looking for a trusted agent, I’d love to reintroduce myself as I enter a new decade of growth and opportunity:
I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and it’s there that I first developed my tenacious work ethic and drive to succeed. In 2012, I made the big move to Denver, and I quickly fell head over heels for the city’s vibrant culture and the endless opportunities it offers. I’ve since made Denver my forever home, and in 2015, my passion for helping others led me to take the leap into real estate. I can honestly say, I’ve never looked back.
My approach to real estate is deeply personal. Growing up in a tight financial situation, I learned the true value of hard work, perseverance, and securing a better future for those I care about. That’s why I always put my clients' needs at the forefront, offering exceptional service that’s tailored to each person’s unique goals. It’s more than just business for me—it’s about creating lasting relationships and making your real estate dreams a reality.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to receive some pretty incredible recognition—like being named Best of Zillow (top 1% of producing agents) and winning HomeLight’s Top Producer Award five years in a row. I’m also proud to lead The Kissel Group, a team that’s earned the Real Trends Top Teams Award from the Wall Street Journal every year since 2021.
104+ Zip Codes Served Across Colorado
From Denver to its surrounding cities, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients all over Colorado find their perfect homes. Each transaction is unique, from downtown Denver to suburban communities like Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Golden, Littleton, Parker, and so many more. Colorado is a state that’s truly so near and dear to my heart, and I love helping people make it their home.
500+ Transactions and Counting
It’s not just about numbers—it’s about the people I’ve had the honor of helping. Over 500 transactions later (yes, that’s mind-blowing to me!), I’ve had the privilege of guiding families, individuals, and investors toward their real estate goals. While I’ve helped countless sellers with creative, strategic solutions, my heart truly lies with buyers. Nothing beats helping someone find their dream home. Especially my first time homebuyers who are brand new to this process and trusting me to guide them through it to success.
Average Listing Days: 6
In this fast-paced market, I’m proud to say that my listings average just 6 days on the market for listings—an achievement I’m especially proud of, especially when the market’s average is 30 days! It speaks to my commitment to getting properties sold quickly, efficiently, and for the best price.
$300M+ in Production
It’s been an incredible ride working with my clients to help them achieve their real estate goals. Together, we’ve contributed over $300 million in production. Every sale represents hard work, dedication, and trust—and I’m so grateful to have been a part of these milestones.
115+ Returning Clients and 190+ Transactions
One of the most rewarding aspects of my career has been building long-term relationships. Over 115 clients have come back to work with me AGAIN, resulting in 190+ repeat transactions. This speaks volumes about the trust and satisfaction my clients have in my services, and I am beyond grateful for their continued support.
Personal Milestones
Beyond the professional successes, this past decade has been filled with some amazing personal milestones. I’ve expanded my real estate portfolio with two personal rental properties, sold my first home, and started my own team, The Kissel Group. We’ve grown from just me to a team of 3 incredibly talented women—and I consider them family. I also married the love of my life, Brandon, in the beautiful city of Toledo, Spain—a dream come true. And, of course, my three fur babies bring endless joy and fluffy love to our home.
Meet my pride and joy—The Kissel Group. This business is my baby, and it wouldn't be what it is without the incredible women who make it all happen. In my (humble) opinion, having a dedicated team of three behind you—rather than working with just one agent—sets you up for a smoother, more successful transaction, whether you're buying or selling. We’re a dynamic group, each bringing unique strengths and expertise to the table, working together to ensure a seamless and rewarding experience for every client. Without further ado, meet the empowering women who make The Kissel Group whole:
Ally Small – Listing Coordinator + Marketing Director
Ally is my right hand lady! She manages the seamless operation of every transaction with a keen focus on listing and marketing preparation. She ensures that every property is presented to its fullest potential, utilizing meticulous preparation and strategic marketing techniques. From overseeing daily operations to crafting compelling property promotion, she thrives on maximizing efficiency and ensures a smooth and enjoyable process from pre-listing to closing.
MaryBeth Taunton – Realtor + Buying Specialist
As The Kissel Group's Buyer's Specialist, MaryBeth assists me in ensuring that all of our buyers have the most incredible home-buying experience with no detail overlooked. In this market, it's important to move quickly, which sometimes requires more than one person's attentiveness. With her strong negotiation skills and in-depth market knowledge, Marybeth helps our buyers achieve their real estate dreams. And in those rare moments when I'm away or unavailable, MaryBeth is my go-to to step in and ensure that everything continues to run smoothly for our clients.

Client-Focused: Your goals always come first. I will listen, advise (regardless if it’s what you want to hear, I will NEVER lead you astray), and I will guide you through every step of the process to make sure your vision and real estate goals become a reality.
Local Expertise: Whether it’s navigating Denver’s bustling neighborhoods or finding hidden gems in surrounding areas, I know this market inside and out—and I use that knowledge to your advantage.
Negotiation: Negotiating is at the core of what I do, and I pride myself on being a true expert in securing the best deals for my clients. It’s probably my favorite part of this entire career! Whether you’re buying or selling, my goal is always the same: to ensure that your interests are front and center, and that we’re maximizing value every step of the way. I’ve honed my skills over the years, navigating everything from competitive bidding wars to complex contracts, and I know how to leverage every detail to get you the outcome you deserve. In a market like Denver’s, where timing and strategy are everything, having a skilled negotiator on your side can make all the difference—and that’s exactly what I bring to the table for you.
None of this would be possible without the trust of my incredible clients and the unwavering support of my network. Every transaction, every relationship, and every milestone has played a role in shaping who I am today. As I look ahead, I’m filled with excitement for what’s to come and deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue serving and growing alongside all of you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for being a part of my journey, whether it was 10 years ago, or 10 years from now. Here’s to the next decade of success, growth, and making real estate dreams a reality—together!
