With over 21 years of real estate experience, I serve as Managing Broker with Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors, specializing in the Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake, and surrounding Northern Michigan markets. Many clients know me as the Houghton Lake Home Hunter, a name built on years of helping buyers and sellers successfully navigate the unique Up North real estate market.

I believe real estate is more than just buying or selling property — it's about lifestyle, timing, and making confident decisions with the right guidance. Whether working with lakefront homes, cabins, residential properties, land, or commercial opportunities, I focus on providing straightforward advice, strong negotiation, and a strategy designed to protect my clients' interests from start to finish.

I lead a highly experienced real estate team with over a century of combined industry knowledge, giving my clients the advantage of not just one professional, but the strength of a full support network. My marketing approach combines proven experience with modern tools including professional photography, FAA-certified drone imaging, 3D tours, and targeted digital exposure designed to reach today's serious buyers.

Northern Michigan isn't just where I work — it's home. I raised my children in this community and strongly believe in giving back and supporting the area that has given so much to my family. Outside of real estate, I'm an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoy following basketball and football, which keeps me connected to the outdoor lifestyle and local community that draw so many people to Northern Michigan in the first place.

If you're considering buying, selling, or simply want expert guidance on the Northern Michigan market, I'm here to help make the process clear, strategic, and successful.
