Houghton is filling up with people here to celebrate at FinnFest!  Yesterday I drove down to Trout Creek to list a couple of beautiful parcels of vacant land.  Here is a nice home on E. South Ave in Houghton that we just recently listed.  Today we closed on our Whealkate house in South Range, so congrats to Anna and Michael on moving on to the next step in their lives.  Also, we reduced the price on this nicely wooded 80 acre parcel near Torch Lake, and also dropped the price on our new Ryan Street listing in Hancock.  We’ll be having an open house on that one soon, I’ll keep you posted on that.  Off to Eagle River tonight to list a waterfront lot!  Take care!

Off and running on another week! This morning we got a deal together on a small parcel near Skanee that we just listed a couple weeks back.  We entered in four new listings today, and Jan wrote an offer on a nice place down in Baraga County.  Things are already shaping up to be a busy week, especially with Finn Fest coming up.  Marcus was supposed to leave today, but his flight ended up being cancelled, so we’ll enjoy his company for one more night.  Also, I am aware of the missing listing photos for the new listings over the last few days, the problem should be corrected by tomorrow.  Have a nice day!

Happy Father’s Day to all of you Dads out there! I was able to spend the day fishing, and it felt really good.  Marcus and I hit a couple of lakes in Keweenaw County, and did fairly well.  In the afternoon, a sudden drop in temperature and heavy rainstorm finally drove us off the lake.  We ended up completely soaked by the time we got off the water, so it felt good to eat a good dinner, dry off and take a sauna.  I’m all ready for another week of work, and it sounds like I’ve got some buyers coming in to write an offer in the morning.  Take care!

Today we got a deal together on our Dodgeville House, so congrats to Matt on getting his house sold!  Cousin Marcus tagged along with me today as I went up to Delaware to list a 411 acre parcel.  We spent a lot of time out there and did a lot of hiking.  Great property!  After that we continued on to Copper Harbor for an early dinner at the Harbor Haus.  Have a great weekend everybody!

Today went by fast.  Listed a few new places before lunch today, and then got back to the office to work on some pending deals.  I got a deal together on this hobby farm on Paavola Road, so it felt great to finally find the right buyer for that place.  We also got a deal together today on this house on Ingot Street in Hancock, so congrats to Ryan and Erin on that.  Tonight Melissa and I attended the Seafood Fest Gala down on the water in Houghton.  We had a great time catching up with local friends and eating some delicious seafood.  Seafood Fest is a great time, so be sure to check it out this weekend in Houghton.  My cousin Marcus is flying in tonight, so I’m actually heading up to the airport shortly to pick him up.  He’ll be up visiting through the weekend.  Have a great day!
