This page is for those who are hunting for a property that fulfills their need to be in the outdoors Beyond the walls, the porch and the driveway.

We realize at Homewaters that, to many buyers, the most important part of any house or cabin is what's on the outside. The most important feature of a property for many is the lifestyle it allows them to enjoy. Whether you're interested in finding some seclusion from neighbors, raising horses, tilling fields or chasing game, Homewaters has created a division within the company with the outdoors loving person in mind. Our goal is to ensure that you're paired with an agent who's not just a salesperson but someone who shares your passion for getting OUT of the house. Each and every agent or broker within our Homewaters Outdoors division owns more boots than shoes. They share an inherent interest in evaluating great parcels of land not for the architecture of it's buildings but for the amount of game it might support or the value of its sustainable timber. If you're seeking something more than just a home on a lot in town somewhere, reach out to one of the agents from Homewaters Outdoors and meet someone who shares your passion.

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!
