Meet the new agents at Christie's: Molly Buttleman, Shannon Beia, Ken Kleinrichert, Lydia Wiley, Ryan Craig, Jenni Craig and Erika Nita.

What keeps someone serving tables for 20, 30, even 40 years? In this month’s feature, five seasoned pros share what’s kept them in the game -- through rushes, regulars and an ever-changing industry. These are the people who bring heart, hustle and history to Traverse City’s dining scene.

Here it is, our annual list of the region’s top 50 single-family residential sellers in the five-county area and top 10 commercial sellers.

2024 was another banner year for northern Michigan real estate sales, as reported by the Traverse City Ticker in January. Residential sales for 2024 in the five-county area more or less followed the same year-over-year price jumps experienced in the last half decade.

Some of us get to live here. The rest have to settle for a visit.

Schermerhorn is still “elbow-to-elbow” with his colleagues as a practicing neurosurgeon and is surgical director for Munson Neurosciences. This and his previous decades of experience mean he knows all too well the challenges faced by those in his line of work.

While he does indeed have a military background, the soldiers in this instance aren’t wearing combat uniforms. They’re in scrubs and face masks. They’re wearing stethoscopes or pushing gurneys. They are the men and women at Munson Medical Center who care for patients week in and week out.
