Theresa Hope

I am so happy to have this opportunity to introduce myself!

I was raised along with my 7 older brothers in Clawson, Michigan, a small town in Oakland County. While extravagant vacations were not in the family budget, we could not have been any happier spending two weeks each summer camping at Aloha State Park on Mullet Lake in Cheboygan. I am certain this time swimming and fishing and playing in Northern Michigan captured our spirits and shaped our futures. Four of my brothers would eventually move to Northern Michigan to raise their families and my parents retired to the Bay City area. My journey north would take a bit longer, but I finally made it!

In 2000 my husband Dave and I purchased a small lake access cottage in Hale. We had many wonderful years there however we could not escape the dream of lakefront living. We sold our cottage in 2020 and found our perfect home in 2021 on Lake Taho in the small town of Lake. We knew immediately that this was home!

After more than 30 years in a support position in the law enforcement community it was clear it was time to embrace my passion for Northern Michigan real estate and help like-minded people realize their dreams as well. In 2023 I retired from a position I truly loved and set into motion a plan to sell our home in St. Clair Shores and pursue my real estate license. As luck would have it, Shannon Cummings, our buyer's agent for our house in Lake, would establish her own real estate agency and was gracious enough to take me under her wing. I could not have asked for a kinder, more experienced mentor. We have encountered many real estate agents over the years and she is truly the example I hope to follow.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about my journey. If, like me, you have always dreamed of purchasing a second home or establishing your full-time residence in Northern Michigan, I would love to meet you. If you are planning to sell your home in Northern Michigan, I will work tirelessly to market your property utilizing every resource available to bring buyers to your door and maximize your profit. Nothing would make me happier than to assist you and your family on your path to realizing your dreams and making life-long memories. Let's do this!
