8.9/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
A Red Wing native with the strongest independently-verified review record of anyone on this list, now running his own brokerage in town.
Pros
- ✓5.0 stars across 64 individually-attributed reviews on homes.com, with named reviewers praising responsiveness and market knowledge
- ✓158 closed sales in the last five years ($45.2M total) — the highest five-year volume of anyone profiled here
- ✓Explicit specialties in first-time buyers, investment property, distressed properties, and short sales
- ✓NAR Hall of Fame recognition and GRI (Graduate REALTOR Institute) designation
- ✓Licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, useful for buyers looking on both sides of the river
Cons
- ✗Recently transitioned brokerages (from RE/MAX Results/Melbye Real Estate Experts to his own MN WI Real Estate Hub) — his Zillow profile, LinkedIn, and other directories still show the old RE/MAX affiliation, so double-check which entity is on your paperwork
- ✗As a broker/owner now, he's splitting time between running the brokerage and personal production
- ✗"Flexible commission plans" are mentioned in his own marketing but no specific rate is published
Agent overview
Jameson Melbye has sold real estate since around 2007, most recently as the broker/owner of MN WI Real Estate Hub, a Red Wing-based brokerage he leads alongside two other licensed agents. He previously built his book of business as "Melbye Real Estate Experts," a team affiliated with RE/MAX Results' Red Wing office — several older directories and review sites still list him there, so confirm his current brokerage before signing anything.
Core specialties
First-time buyers
Listed as a core specialty on his agent profile, and multiple client reviews specifically mention being new buyers who felt well-guided through the process.
Investment property & distressed sales
Profile lists investments, short sales, and distressed properties among his areas of experience, alongside standard residential resale.
Commission & fees
"Flexible commission plans" as described in his own marketing; specific rate not publicly listed
Who this agent is for
First-time buyers who want hand-holding
His reviews repeatedly single out patience with buyers who had a lot of questions and were new to the process.
Sellers who want maximum recent transaction proof
The largest five-year sales volume among the Red Wing agents profiled here, with verified reviews to back it up.
Not for
Anyone who specifically wants a RE/MAX-branded agent — he's since moved his license to his own independent brokerage.
Verdict
The best-documented review record in this group by a clear margin, plus genuinely high recent volume — the one thing to nail down directly with him is which brokerage name will actually be on your contract, since his public footprint currently spans two.

Common questions about Jameson Melbye
Is Jameson Melbye still with RE/MAX Results?
Public sources conflict — his own company site (mnwirealestatehub.com) and recent 2026 closed-sale records list him as broker/owner of MN WI Real Estate Hub, while his Zillow, LinkedIn, and Facebook profiles still show the earlier RE/MAX Results/Melbye Real Estate Experts affiliation. Confirm directly before hiring.
Does he work with first-time buyers?
Yes — it's listed as a specialty on his profile, and it's the most common theme in his client reviews.
What areas does he cover besides Red Wing?
His brokerage's stated footprint runs from the Twin Cities and Hastings through Red Wing, Rochester, and into western Wisconsin (Hudson, Eau Claire, La Crosse); his own recent closed sales include Cannon Falls, MN.
