When selling my house on Walloon Lake, I called David Shuman at Bay North Realty. David did a thorough analysis of the market and recommended listing my property for considerably more than I anticipated.

The team at BNR was very helpful in getting my property ready and ultimately sold it for much more than I initially thought. I attribute the price received in large part to the excellent advertising of my property.

After selling my house on Walloon, David helped me find an excellent condominium near Petoskey. I highly recommend David Shuman and Bay North Realty.

Mike & Lauren Scriven

Our family recently relocated to Petoskey from California to be closer to family. Given we lived 3,000 miles away, we were looking at homes online and asking David lots and lots of questions. David was very accommodating. He shared local knowledge about homes, neighborhoods, family activities, and more.

With David’s help we found the perfect house for our family and we are excited for our new life here in Petoskey.
