After re-locating four times in his career, Gordon retired from high tech. Finally, as many others before him that have grown up in southern Michigan and vacationing in northern Michigan, Gordon relocated his family “up north” and purchased a lakefront home in Bowers Harbor, Old Mission Peninsula. At the same time he purchased a successful contracting business in Traverse City working closely with many of the area’s residential and commercial architects and builders. The company thrived offering customers top notch customer service. After building a large base of residential and commercial clients for almost a decade, the company was sold to a local contractor. Gordon began a career in real estate and has been enjoying helping clients from all over the country find their dream home in northern Michigan. Why choose Gordon as your realtor; There are of course many choices of fine realtors in Traverse City. Finding a common bond with your realtor is essential.
