What Clients are saying

Our experience with Donna Lively was great. Before we even moved to Petoskey she had several homes lined up for us to see. As we had been looking on the web ourselves while still in Florida, she was a step ahead and had those homes also researched and appointments made to see them. We were happy with her knowledge of the area as she was able to give us answers to our questions. Looking for a home can be stressful but Donna made it very pleasant and fun. She will keep you informed every step of the way. We would highly recommend letting her help you find your new home.

Donna takes the time to listen to what your needs are, and works hard to find property to meet those needs. You never feel rushed, and she is so personable that I now consider her a friend!

"Donna is the best! We came house hunting from Texas and had to find a house quickly and she was on top of it and gave us her full attention. She went above and beyond our expectations! She has my highest recommendations - and Craig too!"

Cindy D
Elmira, MI

"Donna was great to work with in finding a home, very knowledgeable, and helpful. I would highly recommend her when purchasing a home! It was a great Experience."

Ben S
Petoskey, MI

"Donna Lively is a rarity in real estate. Honest, true character and integrity. She is committed to responsibly representing her Buyers and Sellers all the way through their experience keeping their best interests at the forefront. In an often unscrupulous market, she is educated and wise, providing an experienced and ethical representation for your real estate needs. Donna helped us purchase our home as well as sell our vacant property. We cannot recommend her highly enough."

Jess B
Harbor Springs, MI

"Mitch was so great to work with! We moved up here from Louisiana, so we could not go look at the house in person. Did that stop or scare Mitch? Not at all. He went to the house we were wanting to see, and he gave us a virtual tour. When we put in our offer, he made sure that everything that needed to be taken care of was. He did EVERYTHING he could to make the purchase of our home as easy and seamless as possible. He is so great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who is in the market to buy a house."

Priscilla Bostic

"We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Mitch Brown! He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and exceeded all expectations for helping our family buy and sell a house at the same time. He is genuine and will work hard for his clients."

Krista L
Michigan

"Craig was great to work with, no matter our question or concern he always treated all requests with same amount of urgency and seriousness. Craig is very relaxed and easy going, he made what could have been a stressful transaction very easy. Craig has done all the extras for us without any hesitation or grumbling, he was great to work with, and I would offer to give him a personal reference at any time, please just reach out to me."

The Hawes Family
Harbor Springs

"I used Craig on a more unique property that required a particular buyer. Before I even listed the property, he brought the buyer, and we were immediately able to close. Regardless if you are a traditional home buyer or seller or have a more unique or investment-type property, I highly recommend Craig. He has personal experience with all classes of property and knows how to be creative when it makes sense." Mark W. – Charlevoix
