About RuthAnne

I've called Michigan home for more than 40 years. After years in Petoskey and Boyne City, I relocated to Holland, where I now help buyers, sellers, and relocating families across the lakeshore.

Before real estate, I managed the office at Boyne Boat Yard, keeping a staff of nine and more than 300 boat owners on schedule. I bring that same attention to detail to every sale, and I treat every client's move like it's my own.
