I have been helping those in the community and those hoping to move to our beautiful community buy and sell homes for over a decade. Buying a Home
Whether you live in the area or you are looking for the perfect getaway, a first time homebuyer or looking for retirement home, I can help! I strive to continuously communicate with my clients from the initial home search through closing. Selling
Your Home
Did you know that over 90% of homebuyers start their search online? That is why web exposure is so important, and with a background in multimedia journalism and photography I have the skills to showcase your property, and bring the buyers! About Karly
I live in the Traverse City area with my husband, my two kids, and my Australian Shepard, Kya. In Acme township I serve as the Chair of the Acme Township Planning Commission and sit as the Housing and Community chair. My work on our Form-Based Code committee helped us win a Placemaking Award from the County in 2014. I am also a member of the Acme Board of Review. I am interested in everything that Northern Michigan has to offer, from the great outdoors to the restaurants and shops. I also love to cook, garden, work out, read, bike, boat, canoe, kayak, ski and hike- because variety is the spice of life! Testimonials
"I was initially a first time homebuyer working with Karly and she walked me through every step answering questions I didn’t even know I had about taxes, insurance, mortgages.. the list goes on. She recommended amazing lenders and housing inspectors. I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process. Once I was ready to move on to a new home, not only did she sell my home so I made a profit but she worked so hard to ensure I got my dream home in a multiple offer situation. I HIGHLY recommend Karly. She worked for me even while on a family vacation in Florida, where she was when the seller accepted my offer. If you’re buying or selling in northern Michigan she’s a pro either way!" - Buyer and Seller, 2021.
“Karly is awesome! She always goes the extra mile for her clients. Her knowledge of current market conditions is second to none. We have worked with her for over four years now on both the buy and sell side of a transaction. Her marketing on the selling side is really top notch and has sold our properties quickly. We have also referred her to numerous friends. ”
