Lakes & Country was founded in 1985 by Carol Page. She focused on selling local lakefront property, land, and serviced the under served "country" areas. She opened the flagship office in Bloomingdale, MI, which is still in operation today at 110 E Spring Street. We currently have 3 agents that work at this location: Barb Strong - Over 20 years in the business, Pearl Etzwiler - Over 40 years in the business, and our newest agent, Mary Phelps.
Buying and selling land isn't the same as buying or selling a home. There are many nuances that we have the experience to help you anticipate and work through. We have a list of qualified, reputable vendors that can assist with surveys, soil testing, building suitability, and well and septic installations.
So you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process. Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state?

She said at that price (the price that we were told initially which was the same
