Joel Mugge
After receiving my Master’s degree in intercultural communication from the University of Minnesota and a successful career in international education at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, I obtained my Minnesota real estate license and began working with Coldwell Banker Burnet in the Twin Cities. During my 14 years with the company, I developed a successful business focusing on single family homes and residential investment properties.
In 2011, after living in the Midwest all my life, I decided it was time to escape Minnesota winters and move to Palm Springs. An investor myself, I have a special interest in multi-family investment properties as well as single family homes. I believe that working in real estate is about building relationships of trust and respect as people make one the most important financial and lifestyle decisions of their lives, the purchase of a home.

I was born and raised in Brazil and received my BA in systems analysis from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná in Curitiba, Brazil. Following graduation from college, I moved to the US and after working in several customer service positions, established a successful vending business based in Ontario, California. After selling my vending business, I worked again in customer service in the security industry before moving to the Palm Springs in 2011.
My experience as an entrepreneur, my passion for helping others achieve their goals and my love of the Desert were instrumental in my decision to obtain my real estate sales license and to join Bennion Deville Homes where I specialize in residential properties in the Palm Springs area.
