Listed at $399k. Closed 35 days later at $434k—with 4 cash offers over asking and flexible post-closing occupancy so the seller didn't have to rush her move.

When you’ve lived in a home for 25+ years, your roots run deep. The nicks on the walls, the memories, the quiet peace of the neighborhood—it’s more than just real estate; it’s a lifetime of life happening.

I met this homeowner last year while door-knocking for a home we were selling right here in Crestwood, just down the road. We ended up having a great heart-to-heart on her front stoop talking about life, family, and growing up in Ga***rd. As we parted ways, I slipped her my card to make sure she had someone to call if she ever needed help over the winter. Fast forward to this spring: I got the call. She needed help. But it wasn't help shoveling, or pulling herself out of a ditch. She said I need your help selling my home. Representing her and getting her $35k over asking was an absolute honor.

Crestwood is easily one of the most special pockets in Ga***rd, Michigan, and the demand here right now is unmatched.

If you live in Crestwood—or anywhere in the Ga***rd area—and are curious about what your home could sell for in today’s market, let’s chat. No sales pitch, just real numbers and a plan tailored to you.

For about 30 years, my family owned a building right across the street from the Mount Carmel Centre. I actually grew up playing on the front steps of that beautiful church, exploring the inside, and experiencing the magic of this Ga***rd gem as a young kid. ⛪️✨

Having that kind of personal history with our local landmarks is exactly why I am so incredibly proud to serve on the board of the Otsego County Community Foundation (OCF).

We do so much meaningful philanthropic work right here in our own backyard, and it is an honor to be part of an organization that our community truly trusts to make a lasting impact.

Today, I’m thrilled to share that a dedicated group of supporters has officially established the Mount Carmel Center Fund through the OCF!

This 126-year-old historic landmark serves as a vibrant community hub for arts, culture, and connection. This newly created designated fund ensures that the building is properly restored, maintained, and preserved so future generations can experience it just like I did growing up.

There are countless ways to help sustain this treasured piece of Ga***rd history—whether through a donation to the fund, volunteering your time, or helping out with community events.

Check out the full article below to read more about this amazing fund and how the OCF continues to uplift our community! 👇

Rising above Ga***rd’s landscape, the Mount Carmel Centre has long been a symbol of reflection, faith, and quiet strength—its presence a steady reminder of purpose and community. Now, thanks to the extraordinary foresight of a dedicated group of supporters, the Mount Carmel Centre fund has been ...

🏡 Louie and I think this might be one of the most overlooked waterfront listings on the lake…

After spending time here today, I don’t think buyers are just looking for a lake house. They’re looking for a place where you can actually slow down, breathe, and enjoy the water.

Louie and I walked the property, and these are our TOP 3 favorite things about this home:

🌅 1. The Expanded Back Deck: Hands down some of the absolute best, sweeping lake views you’ll find anywhere on the water.

🚪 2. The Double French Doors: They flood the entire home with natural light and let that crisp Up North lake breeze flow straight through the house on a summer afternoon.

🌲 3. The Adjacent Vacant Lakefront Lot: THIS is the hidden gem. It gives you endless options—build a guest house, put up a pole barn/garage, or keep it completely untouched for ultimate privacy.

Sometimes the best lake home isn’t just about the interior updates—it’s about the lifestyle, the views, and the rare room to expand.

Watch the video to see Louie’s favorite spot on the deck, and let me know in the comments: If you bought this, would you build on the extra lot or keep it private? 👇
