Five Star Real Estate Lakeshore, L.L.C.
Real Estate Agent
When you are buying or selling a home, you want, need, and absolutely must have a real estate agent who is immersed in the community, one who understands how it works. You’ve come to the right place. Community involvement is what I do. It’s the fabric of my everyday life. It’s the foundation of my relationship-based approach to realty.  Before becoming a top 10 agent along the lakeshore in terms of production, I had a successful career in sales and marketing. I met the best and brightest in West Michigan, people I can lean on when you’re working with me to buy or sell a home.  Advantage you. My relationship-based approach means I don’t target a specific price range, rather I focus on what’s best for my clients.  If you’re considering buying or selling a home, please contact me today!
