Greg Robinson became our realtor, the first time, when we were selling our house in Houghton Lake, in the fall of 2019. We found this current house we just sold, in Hillman, just as Covid hit the world, yet he continued to help us in so many ways, including faxing documents to the mortgage company.
Even though we were now over two hours north of him, we asked Greg to help us sell our Hillman house and help us find our next home. Like last time, we drove all over the state and made several offers before we found the right home and also had our offer accepted.
We had Thanksgiving, Christmas, my husband had hip surgery, and on March 28th 2025, upper Michigan got hit with the worst ice storm and tree damage ever to hit us all. Through all this, Greg had to give us breaks and stop showing the house. There were also so many factors that took us over 300 days to find the right buyer and our next home.
We always knew, any day or middle of the night, Greg would get back to us right away by text or answer the phone and give us an answer or reassurance.
We highly recommend him and will sell using him again.... someday. Not right away.

Morgan’s strategic thinking and in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market were absolutely invaluable in our home search. From the very first showing to closing, her expertise was evident — she confidently answered all of my engineer husband’s detailed questions and helped us navigate every step of the home buying process with clarity. Morgan also provided trusted referrals for inspectors, contractors, and mortgage brokers who were all absolutely wonderful. We felt informed, confident, and supported.
Morgan’s proactive information gathering and strong negotiation skills made all the difference in helping us secure our dream home. Her years of experience also brought a calm, steady presence to what was inherently stressful but exciting process. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and strategic real estate agent, we would absolutely recommend Morgan to anyone buying a home.

We contacted her on a Sunday and she got us in to view the house we wanted to see. We wanted it and she went and filed everything needed that day! Easy process with her on your team.

Believe it or not, I never met Scott in person. But this fact did not make any difference in quality of service he provided. He did not hesitate to accept me as a client despite it was a vacant land purchase (smaller $$). He was great from start to end of the entire purchase process. And what matters a lot to me, he was still there for me and helping after closing. It is hard to find agent like him. I highly recommend Scott to buyers or sellers.

Cory really knows the Higgins Houghton Lake area and its history. He showed my wife and I several properties in the area before we settled on a lake front home on Houghton Lake. Corey recently alerted us to a Higgins area property perfect for building a storage barn for the boats and other things.
Highly recommend Cory for his expertise for the area

I want to start by saying Samantha is a great person to work with! She is a very kind, knowledgeable, and resourceful person. She made house hunting with kids a breeze, she even entertained my kids at the right time to allow my husband and I time to talk over the important things.

Scott is a great realtor that uses every resource to sell my home. Immediately after listing he had fellow realtors tour my home and make suggestions, constantly watched the market to make any necessary adjustments and ultimately brought the buyer to purchase my home. I will definitely be entrusting Scott for my future home purchase.

Morgan is my go to for anything reality. I have trusted her time and time again to either help me find a home, or sell my home. She is knowledgeable, patient and a go getter. Morgan and I ran into a few obstacles along the way, and she handled each challenge with grace and wisdom. I would not trust my reality needs with anyone else other than Morgan Robinson! She makes the experiences enjoyable and you know you are in good hands with her.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Corey to purchase property in Atlanta, MI, right in the heart of Northern Michigan. From start to finish, Corey made the entire process seamless and stress-free. His deep knowledge of the local market was invaluable—he helped me navigate the unique aspects of rural properties in this area.
Corey was incredibly responsive, always available to answer my questions and provide updates, which was especially helpful during the negotiation phase. He went above and beyond to ensure I got a great deal. If you're buying or selling in Northern MI, I highly recommend Corey—he's professional, personable, and truly dedicated to his clients. Five stars all the way!
