Burt Lake, Michigan's 4th largest inland lake with 17,120 acres of surface water, boasts crystal clear water, great fishing and boating, and is connected to the rest of the Inland Waterway where you can boat to the Great Lakes. The shoreline is dotted with cottages, old and new, quaint and grand, and old majestic trees and sandy beaches. Burt Lake is a gem in the North, and so many people have yet to discover it's beauty.

It's time again. The Indian River Michigan Top O'Michigan Marathon Boat Races are going on as I post this blog, bringing in people from all over to race and watch as the small power boats race up and down the Inland Waterway.
Seems to be a good group of people in town, definitely more traffic than was around last weekend. The weather is perfect, low 80's and sunny. Still some great weather to be had up here, so come on, what are you waiting for!

Have a great rest of your summer,

It's hard to believe its summer here in Northern Michigan, with the wave of cooler air hitting and the lack of traffic. This has been a trend over the last few summers, where the month of June is quite slow in regards to real estate activity here in the Indian River area. One can make a whole lot of assumptions and point a lot of fingers, but the fact is our summers are even shorter now for the "prime selling season".
July and August rank highest in our area for volume of visitors, and volume of transactions written. Last year there was a terrific 6 week period where it was as if the bad economy didn't matter, and many homes were under contract. And then, like a switch was turned off, the frenzy ceased and people went back home.
This year there are more homes for sale, and appears to be better pricing as well. If there are people ready, willing, and able to purchase real estate, they can expect a large selection and overall good pricing, whether it is waterfront, acreage, in town or out of town.
Take some time and browse my real estate website for some beautiful deals and let me know how I can help you take advantage of this market.

Northern Michigan has long been the destination "north" of many downstate and out of state residents. What is the draw? one may ask. If you have never explored the area we call the "tip of the mitt", which would be Cheboygan, Emmet, and Presque Isle counties, you are missing so much of the natural beauty Michigan has to offer.
Perhaps you've traveled through on your way across the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge, or to catch a boat to Mackinaw Island, both great treasures of our state. And perhaps you've stopped off I-75 along the way to catch a bite to eat or get gas. But if you have not ventured off the highway much, you have missed the best there is to see.
If boating is your pleasure, then Indian River is your destination, setting on the beautiful shores of Burt Lake and extending the shore of Mullett Lake, one can access the Inland Waterway to boat the chain of inland lakes and rivers that connect you to the Great Lakes. But before you would ever venture out to the big waters, you could exhaust countless days exploring the 38 mile stretch of lakes and rivers, gleaning each shoreline for pristine settings and glimpses of classic cottages and giant mansions. Beginning in Pickerel Lake, the waters flow north into Crooked Lake, then up the Crooked River into Burt Lake, offering over 17,000 acres of surface area. From there the Indian River takes you into Michigan's 2nd largest lake, Mullett Lake, surpassing even Burt's mammoth size. At last you come to the Cheboygan River, which takes you on a leisurly ride towards the Great Lakes, but for more exploring you can take the "fork in the river" southeast down the Black River for several more miles of boating enjoyment. If to the Great Lakes you desire to go, a smooth ride through downtown Cheboygan will lead you to a lock system which will lower you down to the Great Lakes water level, where you can literally boat the world. Many scenic shorelines exist on the vast Great Lakes, and pristine waters await.
Indian River is a great location, not only for boating, but for camping, hiking, snowmobiling, canoing, kayaking, cross country skiing, mushroom picking, hunting, fishing, and so much more. It offers many lodging accommodations from motels to cabins and lake-front home rentals, and many great local restaurants for dining.
Located off of I-75 exit 310 and 313, we are easy to find. So make your plans to get away from the daily grind, and come enjoy the great north atmosphere of fresh and, clean waters, and beautiful nature.
If you need any information please give me a call or email me, the information is below. Also, here is a link to the Indian River Chamber of Commerce for your benefit. And if you do come up, stop by my office and say "hello" and let me know you saw this on my blog. Hope to see you "up north"!
Best regards,
Matt Stahl

From the moment we first contacted Matt Stahl regarding a lakefront property, we knew we were dealing with a professional. Not only did Matt have all of the specifics about the property itself, he gave us detailed information about the lake, the community and the surrounding communities as well! Having worked with other real estate agents in the past who knew very little about the properties they were selling (some didn't even know the lot size), we were thrilled! Matt was immediately available to see us and guided us through a problem-free property purchase. He handled all of the details of our transaction with extreme efficiency and within a week we were the owners of lakefront property without any surprises or snags! We were so impressed with Matt, that we contacted him for two additional real estate transactions and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. Matt is a true professional and he is also very pleasant to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed doing business with him.

Steve & I were looking for property in the Northern area for about 3 years. Finally we were lucky to meet Matt Stahl a realtor that was kind, friendly, patient and willing to work with us. Matt took many hours searching and showing us various pieces of property that meet our requirements. He made our venture for property very easy and successful. Thanks to Matt, he made it possible for us to own two pieces of Real Estate in the Northern area. Because of our great experience with Matt, we have referred several other people to Matt as their realtor. Thanks Matt

Dear Matt Stahl at Re- Max Lake Country,
We would like to thank you for the tremendous effort that you made for us. You made our transition to home ownership from a dream to reality. Your attention to details made all the difference for us. We thought the process would have been a lot more stressful because we live in Phoenix, but a few phone calls from you and the help of your staff really made the deal run very smooth. In the future I would highly recommend Re Max Lake Country and give them a two thumbs up.
Thanks for everything,
Mandy & Patrick Chagnon
Matt,
We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all you did for us when selling our lake home and property. You did a great job of advertising and were always gracious whenever we called with our many questions. You always made time for us and helped us get the best price, and we certainly did!
Thanks so much,
Marv & Bev Lockwood
We have worked with Matt over the last few years and he has always exhibited the patience, flexibility, and tenacity necessary to get the job done right. You can count on Matt to be diligent in following-through on all the details involved in buying or selling real estate.

Hello Matt,
Just wanted to thank you for all your help selling the lot on Wildwood Lake for me. It was just as much a pleasure selling property with you as it was buying it and I will make sure I recommend you to friends and family if they are ever in need of an agent in your area. I will also be contacting you in the near future to find that 'perfect' piece of lakefront property......
Thanks again!
John Sacra
