I have lived and breathed real estate every day for the last 10 years. Obtaining my professional license was just another step along the way in the career that I love!

Real Estate can be an emotional roller coaster without a professional to guide you. Real Estate is a business that feels very personal because it is very personal. For some it’s a home where they will raise their family or retire. For others it is a way to earn an extra income. For me it’s helping clients meet their goals with their needs in mind, not my own. I offer an extensive background in the construction and real estate industries in Southwest Michigan. Real Estate is a business that affects personal lives. Buying or selling real estate is more than matching “data” to a client.

Purchasing a vacation rental is another challenge that many have met. When you purchase a vacation rental, it isn’t just your second home, it’s a business. Be sure to select an agent who knows the ropes of the UNIQUE Southwest Michigan market. I am part of that market with vacation rental properties that I own and manage.

The Southwest Michigan Real Estate Market is unique because we have beautiful Lake Michigan, world class golf courses, wineries, chocolate, and art all in one county. Housing in our area is remarkably affordable considering our proximity to Lake Michigan. From private beach frontage to associations to public beach access or just a quiet place in the country, Southwest Michigan has the property you have been dreaming of.

Suzette spent much of her youth on her Great Uncle Joe’s Blueberry Farm, one of the oldest in Southwestern Michigan, and now enjoys sharing blueberry U-Pick memories with Alivia for the fifth generation.

1. Medical insurance biller for the same doctor for the last 20 years, demonstrating attention to detail, accuracy, confidentiality, and loyalty.
2. Office manager for IKON Builders and Concrete, her husband’s business, since 1994, building knowledge of the construction industry.
3. Property investor for the last 6 years, developing skills in renovation and “flipping”.
