Grow with us.

Hamm Real Estate Co. was founded in early 2024 by St. Paul-based real estate agent and broker, Mariah Hamm. We are proud to be among Minnesota’s few queer-owned boutique real estate brokerages. All of our agents are members of the LGBTQ+ community or committed allies, and that shapes how we show up for our clients. That same care shapes how we build with agents, too.

We help agents build the values-aligned, sustainable, sane real estate business they got into this industry for in the first place. A community that celebrates you and a leadership team that has your back.

Not to be dramatic, but we think everything changes when you join Hamm Real Estate Co.  

No ego. No predatory splits. No drama. We pinky promise.

If you’ve felt like an outsider at your current brokerage, you may feel right at home here.

We Lead With Abundance

After several years as an independent agent at various boutique real estate brokerages, Mariah saw one thing consistently missing: an abundance mindset. Instead, Mariah found a lot of ego and greed within the industry, seemingly at every corner. When she started Hamm her motto was to prove to people that you can be a good person, lead with abundance, and build a successful business. Abundance is the whole foundation for Hamm Real Estate Co and it shows up in everything we do: from the splits, leads, and brick and mortar office space.

We Are
Intentional

We put thought into everything we do and create: from the office space, the brand, marketing materials, and the tools we offer agents. We focus on tried-and-true tools and systems that work instead of chasing shiny objects. We want to be a constant, reliable foundation for agents to build their businesses from.

We Foster Community

Not just in a buzzword way. We are community builders, resource sharers, and good stewards of the spaces we exist in. Our clients build relationships with each other, and with us, that long outlast a closing. We are truly in community with our clients and people. We show up for our neighbors and clients because we deeply care about them.

The Fine Print (That We’re Proud Of)

The Brand & Marketing

When we started Hamm Real Estate Co we felt that good marketing was hard to find in real estate. So we put a lot of thought and intention into ours. Agents get access to the HREC brand in a multitude of platforms – from beautiful, tangible homebuyer guides, to digital relocation flipbooks, soft-touch business cards, and more. HREC agents and their listings stand out in a sea of poor design.

The Split

90/10 from agent-sourced clients. No caps, no royalties, no monthly desk fees, no confusing math.

Brokerage Leads

A lot of brokerages promise leads and never deliver, or outsource to Zillow and call it a “perk” to agents. Our leads come from our own sphere – real relationships, not purchased contacts. In 2025, Hamm Real Estate Co connected 44 warm leads to agents, averaging a $355k price point.

Saint Paul Office Space

We have a brick-and-mortar office space in the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood of Saint Paul that agents are free to use 24/7/365. We think of our office more as a community hub rather than a place for a desk.

Business Support

Every agent gets E&O insurance, transaction management software, two business reviews a year with the broker, a multi-day annual business planning workshop, and memberships to Quorum and the Saint Paul Chamber of Commerce. 

What Hamm Agents Are Saying:

“Moving from a big box brokerage to Hamm Real Estate Co., a recently established boutique brokerage, was a bit of a leap of faith, but I never had any doubt that it was a leap I wanted to take.  Mariah has built this business on a foundation of abundance, authenticity, and equity, and it shows in the everyday operations, the coaching we receive, and the systems built to support us as agents.  Mariah provides consistent structure and support as well as freedom for each of us to play to our strengths and create processes that work for us as individuals.  My business has grown exponentially since moving to HREC.  In addition, I’ve had space and support to thrive as a whole person beyond my professional life here as well.   Within weeks of moving to Hamm Real Estate Co, friends and family started commenting that I seemed better and happier.  I’m forever grateful for the leap of faith that landed me here.”  – Christina Power

What Hamm Agents Are Saying:

“Six months into my time at HREC, and I can confidently say that making the move was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. Mariah and I first worked together on a transaction a few years ago, and the experience was so positive that we stayed in touch. The more I got to know her, the more impressed I became, not only by her heart and fierce advocacy for her clients, but by her commitment to being the most supportive, encouraging, and invested Broker she can be for the Agents here at HREC. I left a 100% commission brokerage to join HREC, and while that was a big decision, the support, collaboration, and sense of community I’ve found here have already had a tremendous impact on my business. We all are in constant communication, sharing ideas, offering advice, and genuinely showing up for one another. Joining HREC has been such a natural fit for me, an Agent who has built his career on care, connection, and relationships. I’m grateful to be here.”  – Ryan Lee
