Welcome to Grandview – A Hidden Haven Near the Bay

Whispering brook flows.
A valley tucked from the world
Dreams root in soft earth.

Nestled in a quiet fold of land less than a mile from Grand Traverse Bay, this 6.5-acre parcel offers rare serenity, surrounded by mature trees and the gentle curve of a private brook. Though civilization is near, you'd never know it .. this is a place where nature holds sway, and peace is palpable.

Rain Kissed breeze drifts close.
Grand Traverse waves call softly,
Blue horizon hums.

The location is ideal: minutes from the scenic M-22 corridor and close to all the best that Northern Michigan offers: wineries, trails, lakeshore, and towns full of charm. Whether for a seasonal escape or a year-round dream home, Grandview is your basecamp for wonder.

Periwinkle shade,
Ancient trunks guard quiet ground,
Leaves tell secret tales.

Towering hardwoods offer shelter and story. Light filters through green canopies, dappling the land in shifting tones. A perfect building site reveals itself—both private and promising, ready for imagination to take shape.

One mile from the bay,
Imagination builds here
Home where peace resides.

Come walk this land. Hear the silence. Feel the calm. Grandview isn’t just a property ..it’s a promise waiting to unfold.

🎬 Cue the corporate cheer music 🎶
One of my lesser-known talents—besides helping you buy or sell your dream home with uncanny skill—is crafting things with just enough precision to impress my cats and maybe a few humans.

Here’s me dramatically unmasking (literally) a Real Estate One acrylic sign I made. It’s oddly satisfying, slightly over-edited, and backed by the kind of upbeat music that makes you want to buy a minivan or open a 529 plan.

Enjoy the peel. 😎

📍Northern Michigan Housing Market: A Game of Hide and... Wait?

Five years ago?
👉 8,500 residential listings in the local MLS.
Today?
👉 Less than 2,000.

You’d think homes would be flying off the shelves, right?

Well... not quite.

Average Days on Market:
⏳ May 2020: 70
⏳ May 2025: 92

So we’ve got fewer homes, but they’re taking longer to sell.
It’s like everyone showed up late to the party... and forgot to bring snacks.

Inventory’s tight. Buyers are cautious. Sellers are hopeful.
And the market? Still writing its next twist.

Stay tuned. More updates coming soon.

💰**BREAKING: Florida's Going Full Pirate!**🏴‍☠️

Florida just passed a law making gold and silver legal tender. Yep, that means you could theoretically pay for a house with a treasure chest. 🪙🏡

Meanwhile in Michigan?
Not yet. We're still working with good ol' dollars, but hey—maybe it's time to start saving those cold coins and polishing up your doubloons. Just in case the Yoopers decide to go medieval on the economy.

Real estate tip of the day: If you show up to closing with a wheelbarrow full of silver bars, we might need an extra day for paperwork—and a forklift.

Prior to becoming a Real Estate Agent, I would drive by a place that has been empty for some time. The math seemed crazy. I would have thought that ANY income for a period would be better than collecting nothing, right?

So .. If Ever You Were Curious…
About those empty commercial buildings that seem to sit forever. And have these questions?

“Why don’t they just lower the rent?”
“Wouldn’t it be better than letting the place rot?”

Here’s the twist: sometimes, they legally can't.

Many commercial properties are financed with loans tied to the appraised value of the building—a value that’s based in part on expected rent. Lower the rent too much, and you lower the building's appraised value.

That’s where trouble starts.

If the value drops below what the lender requires to secure the loan, the owner might be in violation of loan covenants—even if they’re making the payments just fine. That violation can trigger penalties, cash sweeps, or even foreclosure, all because the math on paper no longer supports the loan.

So what looks like an obvious fix—“just drop the price”—can be a financial landmine.

Some owners are stuck between keeping it empty… or risking a default.

Now you know why some places sit quiet, waiting—not for a tenant, but for the numbers to make sense again.

Real Estate is full of interesting aspects that might surprise. Maybe I can take a few of those surprises away. (231) 218-7375
