About Me:
I have been licensed in real estate since 1995. I began my career in real estate after attending Grand Valley State University for business. Then I moved back home to Glen Arbor in 1991 and worked in my families property management company that specialized in vacation rentals at The Homestead Resort. I married my husband Jason, had two beautiful girls, and moved to the base of Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City. In 2001, my sister & I opened a branch of the family business in downtown Traverse City and actively manage 175 second homes. In 2005 I opened an additional branch of my own; Northern Shores Vacation Rentals & Northern Shores Real Estate Sales, LLC. My husband now runs the vacation rental business and I recently joined Coldwell Banker Schmidt Real Estate to broaden my experience and reach out to a larger market.

Areas of Expertise:
I specialize in second homes.... Dream Homes! I have always worked in an environment where I assisted in making lifelong memories. I have been a part of families who have made Northern Michigan their second home - their place to get-a-way from the hustle & bustle. It has been a wonderful experience to be involved with the creation of family memories. The joy that I see when a family has made an investment in their dream home is priceless. And their dream home is not only an investment but a commitment to create many unforgettable memories for generations. I believe that there is a dream home for everyone and I love to be a part of finding that dream!

Traverse City's National Cherry Festival - 2007

The National Cherry Festival is a festival in Traverse City, Michigan in Northern Michigan. Founded in 1926, the mission of the National Cherry Festival is to celebrate & promote cherries. It also serves to promote tourism and community involvement, and to enhance the economic, entertainment, and cultural interests of the Grand Traverse region.
Every year more than 500,000 attendees enjoy the National Cherry Festival, which is now in its 80th year. Families can enjoy many kinds of activities from cherry pit spitting and pie eating contests, to the Grand Royale Parade in which the newly crowned Cherry Queen greets the crowds.
Originally held in mid- to late July to coincide with the cherry harvest, the Festival was moved to early July to take advantage of the July 4th weekend. Cherries are harvested with a "shaker", that quickly vibrates the trunk of the cherry tree and the ripe cherries fill off into a large, expandable tarp.[1] During the harvest approximately 200,000,000 pounds of tart (Montmorency) cherries are harvested. Other cherries, including sweet cherries and Balaton cherries are also harvested. The moderate climate, caused by the proximity of Lake Michigan and the sandy soil are why cherries grow so well in the region.
Traverse City is the self-proclaimed "Cherry Capital of the World" and is in the Guinness Book of World Records, for baking the world's largest cherry pie (the pie was 17' 6", weighing in at 28,350 pounds), unveiled at the festival on July 25, 1987. This replaced the pie baked nine years earlier in Charlevoix, Michigan. This record was held until July 14, 1990, when a pie weighing 37,740 lbs 10 oz, 20 feet in diameter was baked and eaten by approximately 1500 people in Oliver, British Columbia (the Wine Capital of Canada).Source: Wikipedia.com
