ABOUT JESS
I moved here for the lake. I stayed for everything else.
I came to Leelanau County in 2015 and never left. I'm a mom to three boys, a property manager, and a Realtor — in that order. I know this region the way you learn a place when you raise a family in it: the neighborhoods, the schools, the hidden roads that lead to the water.
Before real estate, I spent years as an emergency medicine pharmacist at Munson — and I still pick up the occasional shift. That background gave me something no sales training can: the ability to stay calm when the stakes are high and things move fast. A deal that starts to unravel doesn't rattle me. I've seen worse on a Tuesday night.
When you work with me, you get me. Not a team, not an assistant. I show up for every showing, every inspection, and every closing — and I answer my phone.

WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN
The properties I know best.
Luxury Homes
Estate properties and high-end homes across Northwestern Michigan. If the price tag makes most agents nervous, I’m just getting started.
Waterfront Property
Lake Michigan frontage, inland lakes, and shoreline properties from Crystal to Walloon. I know the water here the way locals do — from the water.
Investment Property
Vacation rentals, short-term rental properties, and income-producing homes. I own rentals myself — I’m not guessing at the numbers.
Residential Homes
I bought my first home in Northern Michigan in 2016. I know what that feels like — and I take it every bit as seriously as any other transaction.
NORTHERN MICHIGAN
This is where you'll live.
Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, relocating from the city or finally making the move you've been talking about for years — this is the place. And I know it well enough to help you find the right part of it.
I know which Leelanau townships are tightening short-term rental rules. I know the difference between a good lake bottom and a weedy one. I know the roads that dead-end at the water and the neighborhoods where the school bus actually shows up. That's not something you can Google.
