About Tom
"Lake Leelanau and the surrounding area is my Specialty. I have spent a life-time on Lake Leelanau and I am certain it is one of the Finest All-Sports Inland Lakes in the Mid-West. I have also come to know so many other Leelanau County Gems like Suttons Bay, Omena Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor & Leland too. My back-ground consists of over 25 years in sales/marketing, real estate sales/investment and management. So, whether you will be PURCHASING or SELLING real estate in this most spectacular area, I know how to place myself in your position and be a "RAIN-MAKER" for you. I have personally invested in water-front, vacant-land, commercial and residential real estate and want to share with you my experience. I absolutely will help you achieve your Leelanau Dream. Leelanau County is the Mid-West's "Fresh Water" answer to the Caribbean, Lake Tahoe, Nantucket and many points between, not to mention our own Napa Valley of the Mid-West. It's simply made up of some of the most dramatic, most beautiful landscape and breathtaking vistas our Nation has to offer and more affordable than most, for now. I hope you will allow me the honorable task of helping you achieve your Real Estate Goals today."
My Best,

What clients say
“Tom is the penultimate real estate professional. Not only is he prompt and courteous, he took the time to fully understand what we wanted in our home quest and maintained this focus during the entire search and purchase process. Tom also saved us significantly with his knowledge of lakefront issues and he was also able to cut through considerable red tape to allow us to quickly close on our property. We are extremely appreciative to have been able to work with Tom. We hope we can maintain his friendship for many years to come.”
