Nan Ray

You’re right – selling and buying real estate is a huge commitment for everyone. single. level.

And in today’s market, you could spend more time shopping for a pair of jeans than choosing a product that becomes one of the largest financial transactions of your life – and it needs to be the perfect fit for a long time.

You deserve to have your dreams, your home, your lifestyle, and your finances handled with professionalism. You’re savvy and understand that every transition is going to have nuances along the way, but there’s no way you would settle for anything less than a smooth transaction into your dream property.

Without a plan and an expert, your sale and purchase could be a very expensive mistake with disruptions in every major area of your life. There is no room for errors.

I can help.

Real estate agents today seem like a dime a dozen, flexing their stats, flaunting the names of their clients and the value of their transactions, and spending more time on social media than actually working. Most are often more interested in cashing out on your listing than playing the long game of education, ease, simplicity, and perfection.

Sure, you want those stats for your place too to sell for top dollar with a marketing package that blows you away in as few days as possible, but you’re not going to sell for just any new property, and you know that takes discernment and time.

There is no room for “settling” in this transaction. This is your future, your dream, a huge physical investment, and your retreat. Your next move deserves empowerment, time, patience, care, and communication.

I confidentially cherish your trust and your story.

I follow your timeline to find the perfect place, use sales marketing and pricing strategies that work, and offer you a step-by-step process that aligns with your goals. Your sale is not just a number and a post. You deserve to be treated like the amazing human you are.

This is why my clients have trusted me with over $70M of sales in the greater Grand Traverse Region – each conducted with empowerment, pragmatism, honesty, the highest level of diligence and care. I make it transparent, seamless, and simple.

Take a look at the results page for yourself.

And when you’re ready, call me for a 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk through all of your hopes, expectations, how I work, if I’m the right fit, and the next steps for your legacy home.

Client Success Stories

Testimonials

"Nan was extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and steadfast. She made a complicated process smooth, especially in a nutty market! Thanks for making my dreams come true."

Brian

"Nan Ray was a pleasure to work with. I was selling Mom's condo for her, and there was a lot of work to be done to get it ready for the market. Nan provided good advice and was able to pivot when 2 offers fell through. Nan kept me well informed and was always very responsive to any questions I had during the process. I would definitely recommend Nan."

K. Tuckerman

"Working with Nan Ray was a superior experience. From start to finish, she provided all the tools required to make my home sale a success. Nan is organised, knowledgeable, and fast and easy to communicate with. She understands that selling a home is "a lot" for the owner, and I felt supported throughout the process. Nan Ray is "all in" - committed to providing the best experience and results for the seller. "

Beth C.

"Nan was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I have been trying to buy a home for many years with zero luck. Nan was super patient, knowledgeable, and really understood our needs. She made the home-buying process this time around very easy! Thank you!"

Dane G.

"This is the second time we used Nan Ray and the third time we have used Century 21 Northland, and we appreciated the work done to market our home. Nan did everything she said she would do, and the results were far better than we imagined. Nan's knowledge of the area and the marketing plan was excellent. We are extremely satisfied with the work Nan did to sell our home and recommend Nan Ray and Century 21 Northland to anyone thinking of selling their home. "

Colin C.

"We started peppering Nan with questions over Thanksgiving weekend about residential parcels suitable for our needs and carried on right through the Christmas season. We found one that was of interest, and she interfaced with the selling agent on our behalf. We appreciate how responsive she was, especially during the busy holidays. She was prepared to close the last week of 2023, but we had other activities, so we closed the first week of 2024. "

Virginia C.

"Nan Ray did a first-rate job helping us find a new home and followed that with a successful sale of our previous residence. Nan knows the real estate market. She was flexible and responsive to our needs and smoothly navigated us through the process of buying and selling. Nan is a pleasure to work with."

Marilyn

"We would highly recommend Nan as your real estate agent. She had our best interests as first-time home buyers and new to the area at heart and worked hard to keep us safe and comfortable throughout the bidding and closing process. She helped us schedule tours under quick timelines, and her connections made the process so much simpler. She was present and made time for us via text, call, and in-person meetings so we never felt alone. We are so grateful to have had her as our real estate agent."

Kyle & Libby E.

"Nan was professional and amazing to deal with. I, personally, wouldn't consider working with anyone else in that area."

Tim S.

"We really loved working with Nan throughout the home-buying process. As first-time buyers, we were very new to this process, and Nan was great about answering all of our questions, no matter how specific and ridiculous they were! We really appreciated Nan's timely communications and availability. She really went the extra mile for us during a tricky time and was so knowledgeable about the local area. We will absolutely be recommending Nan to any future Air Station TC Coast Guard families that come to the area! "
