I’m Jay Mandell

As the owner of the Mandell Real Estate Group, and founder and co-owner of the MR Real Estate Team, I’m thrilled to help you on your real estate journey. But first, I would love to tell you a little bit about myself.

My wife, Danielle, and I have been happily married for 30 years, and together we have four amazing daughters. We cherish our time building new relationships, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and enjoying all things soccer.

For the past 25 years, I’ve been immersed in every aspect of real estate in Blacksburg and the New River Valley. Known as the relational realtor, I deeply care for my clients and their needs. My diverse background as a Class A contractor, builder, cattle farmer, developer, and real estate investor means that when you work with me, all of my experience works to your advantage.

My goal is to help you…
