WE DO ONE THING & WE DO IT REALLY WELL WE SELL LAKE HOMES GO TO WORK FOR YOU

“From the opening interview with Cindy to the final closing on our property, she demonstrated many positive traits. Her knowledge of the availability and value of lake property is extensive. She has an excellent grasp of pricing that includes not only the value of the property itself, but the value considering the timing of the sale. This knowledge contributed greatly to our receiving maximum value for our property and saved us tens of thousands of dollars. ” -Ted and Rosalyn Culver

“Susan was a delight to work with. After finding the home we always wanted, she worked diligently to make sure the path to closing was no stress on our part. She was understanding when we had questions concerning closing on time and provided the help and comfort a home buyer would expect. Thank you Susan for making Northern Michigan our home.”
