Blue Lakes Real Estate Group, Key Realty 310 West Front Street, Traverse City, MI 49684

"Worked with Karen on the purchase of a second home in the TC area. She handled everything professionally. She met with the inspection team in our absence and had great observations of the properties benefits and flaws. Very open minded and listened to our wants and concerns and got answers to all our questions. Very smooth process. Would highly recommend Karen."

"Working with Jennifer is an absolute pleasure. She virtually always answers her phone - which is not easy. She is generous and understanding. She is most certainly one of the few elite Realtors in Northern Michigan. Choosing her as your lifetime Realtor is a very wise decision."

"What a wonderful experience- we never expected to buy our home. Rena made the process smooth and explained every step! We are so thankful for her help making our dream come true!"

"Karen at Blue Lakes was professional, knowledgable, and provided great communication with the purchase of our home. She did a great job of understanding what we were looking for and showing us potential homes that met our needs"

"Our family can't say enough great things about working with Jennifer. We live a couple hours from the Traverse City area and typically get the "why don't we move here" itch each summer because we enjoy the area so much. I've never personally met Jennifer, my wife was able to meet for an initial walk through when the property first hit the market, but for 3+ years we would reach out to her thinking we were ready to make the move or a purchase. Each time she heard our wants / needs and was helpful and offered the right suggestions on what areas would be the prudent investment. She could have sold us any property but patience and sound investment advice won the day. Nonetheless, we were more or less just kicking the tires, but she treated us like we were still the most important clients. Always. This October we finally stopped kicking the tires and couldn't have asked for a better agent to continue representing us. Despite living out of the area, she coordinated the needed contractors to get a better understanding of the property needs based on our home inspection. Through this she was able to re-negotiate a new purchase price on our behalf and leave both parties more than happy with the final outcome. Prior to closing and us not being able to make it back to Traverse City, she did a facetime walk-through of the property to make sure the sellers had left the property in the proper condition for the ownership change. While this was an unusual, for us, way to purchase a property, I can say unequivocally that we felt 100% comfortable with the process from start to finish and it was because of Jennifer's great knowledge of the area, her hand holding during the buying / selling process, and always going above and beyond for her clients...even if we were just kicking tires for 3 years."
