(Testimonial)
Lou Anne, we were so grateful for your expertise in both selling our house and buying our new home. From the very first time we walked through a house with you, and all the way through the selling and buying process, you were personal and professional-giving us your honest perspective but never trying to persuade us one way or another. When we had questions, you always responded quickly and clearly never leaving us at a loss for information. We cannot thank you enough for helping us to find our new home!. ZS

A good friend recommended Lou Anne, so we chose her and we're glad we did. Lou Anne was knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Traverse City area, and answered all our questions. We were out of town during our home search and she was always quick to provide us with a video walk-through of the homes we were interested in. She was wise, supportive, helpful, responsive, in short, all that we could hope for. We will recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Traverse City.

I have worked with numerous brokers throughout my life and have moved a lot, including some international moves. Lou Anne is my favorite broker. She is very experienced and well connected in the community. She is very easy to communicate with and responds to my communications nearly immediately. Her attention to detail is amazing and makes these fairly complex and stress-inducing transacts easy and fun. She is the first person I will call when I consider my next move.
