Email MeAs a Colorado native born and raised in Telluride, I have always had a deep connection to mountain living. My intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of this beautiful region allows me to guide clients seamlessly through the complexities of mountain real estate.
In 2020, my husband—a talented custom home builder—and I fell in love with Chaffee County. We made it our permanent home in 2022, drawn by the welcoming community, mountains, and easy access to endless adventure for us and our dog, Henry.
When you meet me, you will not forget me. You'll notice my high energy and passion for this lifestyle—it's contagious! I am dedicated to truly understanding your unique needs and providing personalized, attentive service every step of the way.
With a solid background in building lasting relationships with clients and collaborating effectively with teammates, I excel in dynamic environments—quickly adapting to changing priorities to ensure your experience is smooth, confident, and tailored to you.
Beyond the office, I’m passionate about the outdoors. You’ll find me skiing on the slopes, exploring the backcountry, mountain biking, running, and rafting. Community involvement is also very important to me, and you will find me coaching basketball or simply connecting with people and immersing myself in local life.
Let’s explore what mountain living can truly offer you. I look forward to making your real estate dreams a reality.

Testimonials
"Working with Michael was a wonderful experience. Her communication throughout the transaction was prompt and effective. It was a true partnership, and I had confidence in her the entire way. Her positive and fun personality brought a great energy to the transaction as well!" - A Happy Mortgage Partner
"I had an amazing experience with Michael as my real estate agent. She was super knowledgeable and helped overcome many (MANY!) unforeseen obstacles I encountered during my home buying experience. I could not recommend selecting her more and if I ever find a reason to move (hopefully not!!) she would be my first call." --Charley 2025
“Michael has elevated the home-buying experience in Chaffee County. Working with her was a dream! She is highly competent, motivated, and just downright fun to work with. Her bubbly and energetic personality is simply unmatched. I’ve already recommended her to several friends in the area— she’s my go-to realtor for buying and selling homes in Chaffee County!” - Erin, July 2025
“We highly recommend Michael Maassel with the Full Circle Real Estate Group. We are out-of-town buyers looking for a second home with acreage and the potential for an ADU. What started as a wild idea in late August became reality when we closed on a dream property the first week of November. Michael quickly and deftly handled every aspect of our search from the initial germ of an idea to the reality of the move-in. Her knowledge of the Salida area, land use restrictions, and building considerations was invaluable. She sent dozens of listings, patiently helping us refine our search parameters and craft a short list for on-site viewings. Michael’s understanding of our wants and needs enables us to to quickly settle on a property during that first visit, and we were under contract within 48 hours of our first viewing. She expertly guided all parties through a tight timetable. When significant issues arose during the home inspection, she responded immediately to help us negotiate a resolution. In addition to her professional skills, Michael is joyful, energetic, and simply delightful to work with.” Matt and Michele, October 2025
“Michael Maassel went above and beyond for us from start to finish, closing our home in just 29 days! She stayed on top of every detail, managing tasks for us, the sellers, and the lender seamlessly. The entire process felt smooth and supported the whole way through. I wouldn’t use anyone else, highly recommend!” - LB and Rich, March 2026
“Thankful to Michael for helping us quickly explore real estate options and close on a property in under 30 days! Easy and fun working with Michael!!!! Lots of good vibes!” - Tracy, April 2026
"Michael was an outstanding agent throughout my “dream" land purchase. She was communicative, organized, and a strong advocate every step of the way. As an out-of-area buyer, she saw my vision, and I truly relied on her local knowledge—she consistently brought insights and considerations I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I initially reached out to a few agents, but I’m so glad I trusted my instinct and chose to work with Michael. When inevitable hiccups came up, she brought calm perspective, advocated on my behalf, and genuinely went out of her way to make the process as smooth and convenient as possible. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, thoughtful agent." - Natalie, June 2026

"Michael was an absolute gem to work with while I searched for—and ultimately found—my dream home! She was organized, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. I always felt like she truly listened to what I was looking for and understood my priorities. When it came time to make an offer, she was an outstanding advocate, guiding me through every step with confidence and expertise. If you're looking for a joyful, knowledgeable realtor who will genuinely have your best interests at heart, Michael is your gal!" - Mel, July 2026
