There are some parts of Northern Michigan you get to know best from the water.

Chad and Brooke spent an evening fishing Long Lake recently, and it was a good reminder of what makes this corner of Grand Traverse County so special. Long Lake Township offers that increasingly hard-to-find combination: quiet water, wooded surroundings and room to slow down, with Traverse City still just a short drive away.

For us, “Know the Place” means more than knowing property values or what’s currently on the market. It means knowing the lakes, the roads, the communities and the little things that make people want to call a place home.

Long Lake is one of those places we don't just work in. It's part of the Northern Michigan lifestyle we've spent our lives getting to know.

Know the Place: Long Lake Township

Home isn’t always defined by four walls.

Sometimes it’s the lake you grew up visiting. The town you return to every summer. The trail outside your back door. The quiet stretch of shoreline where everything seems to slow down.

At HomeWaters, we believe real estate is about more than finding a property. It’s about finding the place that fits the life you want to live.

For 20 years, we’ve combined local expertise with innovative technology to help people find those places across Michigan.

So, we have one question:

Where are your Home Waters?

Huge congratulations to our Agent of the Month, Sean McDonald!

In a challenging market, Sean doesn’t wait around, he makes things happen. What made him stand out this month wasn’t just his sales; it was his relentless dedication to his clients. He constantly leverages every resource and tool we have as brokers to make sure his clients' listings get maximum exposure.

Since Sean doubles as an incredible charter boat guide, we celebrated the only right way: hitting Lake Michigan at dawn on Monday for some salmon fishing. The perfect morning was even topped off by a beautiful rainbow in the fog!

Thank you for your incredible work ethic, Sean! Keep crushing it!

Hi Michiganders, Homie here with a report from the riverbanks!

It is certainly ashy out there, so I decided to crash at Brooke's apartment for the night so I could see where on earth all of this smoke came from. As I'm sure you all know by now, there are several wildfires all around the U.S.A. and Canada that are pushing polluted smoke into our state.

The AQI (Air Quality Index) is in the hazardous range for all of Michigan today, so I for one will be extending my indoor staycation until the clouds clear up!

No need to panic, but it can never hurt to implement some healthy practices. Here is my advice for now:

- If you can stay inside, get cozy and let the AC filter the air for you, make sure to close any gaps if you have a window unit!
- Save any big outdoor plans for when it clears up, if you're unable to, consider picking up a NIOSH approved N95, KN95, or FFP2 mask until things clear up.
- Use the fire.airnow.gov app or your phone’s built-in weather app to check the AQI.

Stay safe and enjoy the summer!

Whew, it is a warm one out there! Homie here, and I've got to tell you, while I love sunbathing on a nice river log, this dry weather means we all need to be extra careful. When we don't get rain for a bit, the forest floor turns into a tinderbox.

Right now, a stray spark from a cigarette, a hot exhaust pipe, or an uncooled campfire can start a wildfire in a matter of seconds.

Let's look out for each other:

- Avoid burning trash or yard waste on windy, dry days.

- Dispose of cigarette butts safely (never toss them out the car window!).

- Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby if you're doing any outdoor work.

Let's keep Northern Michigan green until the next good rain comes along to splash in! Check today's fire danger rating before you head out!

Hey neighbors, Homey here! While sliding around the local riverbanks this week, I’ve spotted a few brand-new white-tailed deer fawns curled up in the tall grass.

If you stumble across one while hiking or in your backyard, your first instinct might be to help. But as your resident wildlife scout, my biggest piece of advice is: Leave it be! Here is what you need to know:

- Mom isn't far: Doe leave their fawns alone for hours at a time to look for food and avoid drawing predators to them.

- Built-in Camouflage: Fawns have virtually no scent and those white spots help them blend into the dappled sunlight. They are supposed to look abandoned—it’s their survival strategy!

- Look, don't touch: Human scent can attract predators or cause the mother stress.

If the fawn looks healthy and is quietly waiting, just snap a quick photo from a distance and keep moving. Mom will be back by dusk!

Enjoy these pictures sent in by some friends!

Homey's Field Notes: Opening Day looks a little different this year!

While we’ve all been dreaming of that first cast, Mother Nature had other plans. Most Northern Michigan banks are overflowing, and the currents are incredibly heavy. If you can’t see the bottom, don't wade in—it’s just not worth the risk. Stick to the high ground, check for road closures before you head out, and stay safe!

See you all on the 25th!
