Congratulations to Candace & Nelson (aka Beano)!

Some people are just meant to find each other—and these two are the perfect example. Their journey hasn’t been easy, but watching them come together, build a life, and share so much happiness is nothing short of inspiring. Candace, I've known for years—our kids grew up together, ran the backroads, and shared the ups and downs of small-town life. And then I met Beano... and wow. His kindness, respect, and warm smile are unforgettable. He radiates pure goodness, and together, they are a true power couple.

We had a lot of irons in the fire—selling one home, buying two—and through it all, they were the most amazing, laid-back, easygoing clients you could ask for. Even with a few bumps along the way, we stayed the course and got the RESULTS they were hoping for.

I had the honor of listing and selling their stunning custom-built log home in Houghton Lake, a property that redefines what up-north living can be. This legacy estate sits on 40 wooded acres with trails, gardens, and a show-stopping 60x80 heated pole barn. Every detail of this home—from the chef’s kitchen with live-edge bar top to the stone tile shower and walkout master suite—was crafted with care, comfort, and true country luxury in mind.

This wasn’t just a sale—it was the closing of a meaningful chapter and the exciting start of a new one.

Candace and Beano, thank you for letting me walk beside you through it all. Your love, resilience, and joy made every moment of this journey special. Here’s to new beginnings, shared dreams, and the beautiful life you’re building together.
