properties REMI Christie's International Real Estate is expanding into Traverse City, Michigan, with a new office set to open in July. This marks the brokerage's 10th location in the state and its first foray into the lakeside resort town.

    Leading the new office will be Molly Buttleman, a top-producing agent who has earned over $60 million in annual sales over the past decade. She joins @properties REMI from Coldwell Banker, where she was a respected figure in the local market.

    The move into Traverse City comes as the city experiences a surge in interest from luxury homebuyers, not only from nearby metro areas but also from across the US. "We're thrilled to have Molly on board," said Eric Walstrom, co-founder of @properties REMI. "She knows the Traverse City market inside and out."

    The new office will be the first in the area with a focus on luxury clients, thanks to its affiliation with Christie's International Real Estate. Walstrom expects the office to reach $200 million in annual sales by 2025.

    Buttleman will work alongside seven other agents, including Lydia Wiley, a top-producing broker who has been with @properties REMI for nearly two years. Ken Kleinrichert, a longtime Traverse City resident and broker, will oversee growth of the new location.

    The firm's cutting-edge technology, industry-leading marketing, and forward-thinking culture were key factors in Buttleman's decision to join @properties REMI. "They bring a fresh approach to real estate that elevates the buying and selling experience," she said.

    Since its launch four years ago, @properties REMI has doubled its annual sales volume to $1.4 billion over the past two years.
