If you are looking for a good realtor that really knows his stuff and has over 15 years of experience then you have come to the right place. Buying a waterfront home is a dream for many home buyers and my goal is to help you achieve that dream. Many lakes have different factors. For example lakefront homes in Waterford are on city water and sewer whereas waterfront properties in Highland are on well and septic. Little things that we have picked up over the years as which lakes are due for a big assessment because sewers are coming in is important to lake house buyers.
You don’t want to buy a home and get hit with a big assessment. Or you don’t want to buy a home on a canal to find out that it isn’t deep enough for your boat. Or that there is a culvert that a new pontoon can’t go through. The unknowns can be costly. That is why we put together these webpages to explain about our local lakes in Oakland and Livingston County.

Wolverine Lake MI history
Wolverine Lake Oakland County MI was created in the 1920's through a private damming and inundation project funded by local dentist and developer Howard Stuart. Howard Stuart is considered the founding father of Wolverine lake. It was originally six small lakes Spring, Mayie, Pork Barrel, Taylor, Bradley, Bickling and the surrounding marsh.
Dr Stuart hired the building of the dam in early 1919 which was built with the help of ten teams of horses, the concrete dam is 12 feet long with 600 feet of levee fill. He ran into all sorts of problems which including one area that kept sinking. They also had to raise Bernstein road 6 feet at the cost of $6000. He also was sued twice to have the dam removed and for damages.
The dam raised the water levels to about eight feet in the marsh surrounding Spring, Mayze, Pork Barrel, Bicking, Taylor, and Bradley Lakes, thus uniting them. They even flooded a section of the road that still can be seen today under the water.
When the land was flooded there was an island formed on what was Dr. Stuarts land. The island is called Stuart's Oak Island.
The project was completed in 1923, and the lake it was named after Michigan's state animal the wolverine. The area grew as a suburb to Detroit, and was eventually incorporated into a village in 1954 to protect it from annexation. Wolverine Lake has a central homeowners association.

Here is what our previous clients had to say about working with us!
"It was so good to meet a nice and honest Realtor. It was like he was part of the family. I was recovering from an illness and we needed to move to a home that was all on one floor. We had already found a renter for our home so we had to put together the deal quickly. Russ took care of it all and made whatever trips to our home that were necessary to get everything done. I had no worries at all. All I had to do was make it to the closing to sign my name. We were out of our old house and into the new in plenty of time so the new renter could move in.
We even lost our closing package during the move and he was nice enough to make a new one and drop it buy. Though I tell him I gained five pounds on the cake that he brought to us. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a Realtor or mortgage person."
