Born and raised in Leelanau County, I am acutely familiar with the area and super excited about Real Estate and the challenges that each transaction presents. I love learning and figuring out solutions but above all I love putting a smile on a client's face. Real Estate can be fun and it is important to help people see the light at the end of the tunnel during a challenging or stressful situation. It is also a blast to help first time home buyers fulfill their dream of owning that first house. The cool thing about northern Michigan is there are so many different areas to explore and pieces of property to fulfill people's dreams. I am not scared to tell someone if I don't have all the answers to their questions and you can guarantee I will dig in and follow up.Born and raised in Leelanau County, I am acutely familiar with the area and super excited about Real Estate and the challenges that each transaction presents.
