🎉 Help us wish Lauren a very Happy Birthday! 🎂

It’s been an exciting year for Lauren, and we’ve loved watching her jump into real estate, learn, grow, and start building relationships with her clients and our community.

And with her very first closing officially in the books, she has a little extra to celebrate this birthday! 🏡🔑

Lauren, we hope your day is filled with lots of fun, plenty of cake, and a chance to celebrate YOU. We’re so happy to have you as part of the Living in Lenawee family and can’t wait to see what this next year brings! ❤️

Drop Lauren a birthday wish below and help us make her day extra special! 🥳🎈

🎉 This closing is an extra special one for our Living in Lenawee team!

8745 Hawthorne Dr. in Tecumseh is officially SOLD — and it marks Lauren Doane’s very first closing! 🏡🔑

Janis & Ed had the opportunity to represent the sellers, while Lauren worked with the buyers to help them make this home their own. We love when a transaction brings both sides of our team together, but we especially love getting to celebrate a milestone like this.

Lauren has jumped into real estate ready to learn, work hard, ask questions and take great care of her clients — and today she gets to add FIRST CLOSING to the list! ❤️

Congratulations to our sellers and buyers on a successful closing, and a BIG congratulations to Lauren! We have a feeling this is just the first of many. 🎉

Help us show Lauren some love on her first closing! 👏🥳

Living In Lenawee donates 5% of our commissions off the top to a local charity of our clients choosing. Both of our clients for this transaction chose to donate to the Catherine Cobb Safe House to help with all they do for the woman and children of our community!

🏡 Lenawee County locals — we need your advice!

Imagine someone just told you:

“I’m moving to Lenawee County and I don’t know anything about the area.”

What's the ONE piece of advice you'd give them?

Maybe it's a place they need to visit, a local tradition they shouldn't miss, where to find the best food, something they should know about living here... or one of those things you only learn after you've been here awhile.

Just ONE piece of advice. What would yours be? 👇

We have a feeling the people who live here can put together a pretty great unofficial guide to Living in Lenawee. ❤️

And if you're new to the area, save this post — the comments might end up being the best welcome guide around!

🌳 Okay, everyone — finish this sentence for us…

“If I had over an acre at home, I would __________.”

Garden? 🌻
Build the ultimate backyard entertaining space?
Finally have room for all the outdoor toys?
Put up a firepit and spend every summer night outside? 🔥
Or just enjoy having some SPACE between you and the neighbors?

We want to hear yours! 👇

And yes… there’s a reason we're asking. 😉

3427 Leeomi Dr. in Britton sits on 1.16 acres and also happens to come with a 3-bedroom, 2½-bath ranch, a fenced backyard, first-floor laundry, an attached 2½-car garage, and more than 1,000 sq. ft. of additional finished space in the basement.

So now we're curious:

What would YOU do with the extra space?

🏡 Looking for a little more room and a little less city?

11024 Dennison Rd. gives you that country setting while still offering the features that make everyday living comfortable.

Sitting on 1 acre, this home has several updates already taken care of, including newer windows and a new septic tank and drain field. Inside, you'll find first-floor laundry, central air, and a family room with a corn burner that adds some extra coziness when Michigan weather arrives.

But one of our favorite spots might be outside. 🌳 The backyard patio gives you a great place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy having some space around you.

And for those wondering about the basement, it also has an Everdry system with a transferable warranty.

If your wish list includes country living, an acre of property, first-floor laundry, and some of the big-ticket updates already completed, this one deserves a closer look.

Which would be highest on your wish list — the acre, first-floor laundry, or that backyard patio? 👇
