About Jacquelyn

Traverse City is home. After years of living and working in New York City, Napa, Sonoma, and Bordeaux, France, my husband and I found our way back here. Put down roots, and are now raising our two children in the community we love. Today, I help buyers and sellers navigate one of the most meaningful decisions of their lives across Traverse City, Leelanau, Old Mission Peninsula, and Northern Michigan—and I do it with the care, strategy, and dedication this place deserves.

Before stepping into real estate, I spent my career in the performing arts, managing and curating dance theaters and organizations at the highest level in New York City. That world shaped the way I work: I listen closely, anticipate what's coming next, manage every moving piece with precision, and advocate relentlessly for the people I represent. It's a rare blend of strategy and creativity—and it's the kind of thoughtful, hands-on partnership my clients tell me makes all the difference.

But what truly sets my work apart is that I've lived this. As a mother of two who has chosen homes across cities and continents, I know exactly what's at stake when you're buying or selling: not just square footage and price points, but lifestyle, timing, family, and the future you're building. I pour that perspective—and an unwavering commitment to getting it right—into every client relationship, every showing, every negotiation, and every detail in between.

Northern Michigan is one of the most extraordinary places in the country to call home, and the decision to buy or sell here deserves a guide who treats it with the weight it carries. Whether you're searching for your first home up north, selling a property you've loved for decades, or simply wondering if this is the right next chapter for your family, I would be truly honored to walk that road with you.
