Our approach

Fewer transactions. Deeper relationships.

01

Local

Rooted in the lakes region.

Our brokers live on these waters. We know which coves freeze first, which roads thin out in autumn, and which homes will quietly come to market next spring.

02

Curated

A small portfolio, by design.

We represent a handful of properties at a time — never more than we can serve well. Every listing is photographed, staged, and marketed as if it were our own.

03

Discreet

Quiet, considered service.

Many of our most beautiful sales never appear on the open market. For sellers and buyers alike, we offer the privacy that significant properties deserve.

About

Two decades of trusted relationships on the water.

Lakes Real Estate was founded on a simple idea: that the best brokerage in any market is the one whose brokers also live there. We were born on these shores and we will be here long after the deal closes.

Our clients are families building heirloom homes, second-home owners with discriminating taste, and original landowners who trust us to find the right next steward. We are not the largest firm in the region. We never intend to be.

In their words

What our clients say.

Lakes RE found us a property that wasn't yet listed and shepherded a complicated multi-generational transaction with a level of grace I'd frankly never seen.

M. & E. Calloway

Buyers, Stillwater Point

We interviewed three firms. The others quoted us a number; Lakes RE asked us about our family. We sold the cottage in eleven days — to neighbors we now love.

The Whitfield Family

Sellers, Birch Harbor

Twenty years and four houses later, they remain the only call we make. The quietest, kindest, most prepared people in the business.
