Lake Michigan Home, Glen Arbor:  "I first met Steve Batdorff when looking for lakefront property in Leelanau County.  His impeccable business credentials, comprehensive knowledge of the area, and reputation for honesty made working with him an absolutely delightful experience.

Since our introduction, Steve has acted as my Agent on three personal real estate transactions with an aggregate value of nearly $4,500,000. I wouldn't consider using any one else to represent me in acquiring or selling real estate in Northwest Michigan.

I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for the ultimate in professional representation from a sincerely nice guy who listens to and truly cares about his customers.

Just one of Steve's happy clients."  R.B., Cincinnati

Cental Neighborhood, Traverse City:  "My family recently moved to Traverse city on quite short notice. Steve Batdorff was amazing from start to finish. We have been through many real estate agents over the years, and I can truly say that Steve was the best Realtor we have ever worked with. He is a Traverse City native with extensive knowledge of the area. He is also incredibly experienced as both a buyers and sellers agent, but what sets him apart is the amazing PERSON he is. He was incredibly flexible and worked around our schedule with showings. He was patient enough to tolerate the kids tagging along and was the first realtor who listened to our wants and needs.

It?s never easy buying your first home, yet Steve walked us through the steps, while maintaining our interests as his top priority.  He answered our phone calls late at night, handled all of the legal work perfectly (despite a non-traditional negotiation and closing process), and even acted as our surrogate for inspections/etc. when we were unable to be there. We even had the other party (Seller) in our negotiations remark ?Your Realtor is amazing! You were lucky to find him!? We couldn?t agree more

We are incredibly happy in our new home. I highly recommend Steve to anyone. We not only found our Realtor for life, but also a lifelong friend."   M. & J., Traverse City

Lake Michigan Lot & Home Construction, Near Leland:  Two years ago my wife and I decided to build a retirement home in the Traverse City area after having spent considerable time researching Northern Michigan. I was interested in working with a real estate professional who knew the area well, could easily translate our interests and desires into building a new home and really understood the entire building process from acquiring land to hiring a builder. A tall order no doubt. After talking to several realtors we found Steve Batdorff and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we have ever made when it came to working with a realtor to build a new home.  Steve's intimate knowledge of the area as a lifetime resident was invaluable and his considerable knowledge of builders, building code and local construction requirements was awesome. He is a stickler for detail and thoroughly researched and visited every property on the market which was important to us since we were searching for a property remotely.  He was determined to find us the right property for our needs no matter how long it took-seven months to be exact. His professionalism and client first focus 24/7 made our property buying experience the best we have ever had building a new home and this is the fifth one we have done in the past 25 years. Steve was more than just a realtor selling us a property he was our advisor and partner and always had our best interests in mind.  What more could you ask for from a realtor. Keep up the great work Steve.

Steve is the consummate professional. His expertise and attention to detail are above and beyond. Hes the only realtor well ever use!

Steve has three skills I find extremely valuable. First, his many years of experience in the real estate field and the Grand Traverse market. Second, the thoroughness with which he handles the sales process from listing to coordinating the closing. And finally, his communication skills to keep me aware of market activity, the results of showings, and the steps we would follow through the closing.
