We are a couple days too late for NAR"S Volunteer Days/Realtors are good neighbors, but this deserves attention. Congratulations to Jim Hart from Graham Real Estate and all of the others who have worked so tirelessly to make this extremely important project a reality.

Ann's Nest owns property! 🎉

Yesterday, the West Traverse Township Board approved our special use permit to build Adult Foster Care (AFC) homes in Harbor Springs.

And today? Thanks to our incredible donors, we closed on 6 acres on South State Rd.

Paul Matthews (Co-Founder), Jim Hart (Advisory Board), and Bob Vala (Co-Founder) were there to celebrate this milestone in person — and we are so grateful for everyone who made this moment possible.

This land is more than a parcel on a map. It's the future home of Ann's Nest, a place of belonging for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in northern Michigan. We can't wait to build it together!

testified today in the House Committee on Government Operations lending Realtor® input to HB 5872-5879 and HJR T. We look forward to further discussions on this legislation that eliminates the “pop-up tax” on property transfers and reduces property tax bills by 6 mills. Michigan Realtors® supports the repeal of the real estate transfer tax. The combined two changes are aimed at reducing financial barriers when buying or selling property in Michigan.

It would allow empty nesters downsize without a tax penalty and makes it more affordable for buyers to enter the market and move into homes that better fit their needs.
