What we do

Six services. One trusted team.

We sit on the same side of the table as the owner — guiding investment, development, and sale decisions with the perspective of operators who manage the asset after the deal closes.

01

Real Estate Development & Owner's Rep

Hands-on representation through every phase of a build — site selection, design coordination, permitting, contractor vetting, budget oversight, and weekly progress reporting on your behalf.

  • Feasibility and site evaluation
  • Builder and trade selection
  • Owner-side budget and schedule oversight
02

Real Estate Investment Advising

Underwriting and strategy for owners building a Northern Michigan portfolio — pro forma review, market comps, STR revenue modeling, and a clear-eyed take on what will actually cash flow.

  • Acquisition underwriting and pro formas
  • STR vs. long-term revenue modeling
  • Portfolio strategy and exit planning
03

Residential Sales — Listing Services

Selling an investment property or short-term rental? We market your home with the same care we put into our managed listings — professional photography, story-driven copy, and a pricing strategy backed by real STR performance data.

  • Pre-list prep and staging guidance
  • Professional photo + video marketing
  • STR revenue history packaged for buyers
04

Buyer's Agent — Investment & Cash-Flow Properties

We help investors find the next cash-flow STR or long-term rental — sourcing off-market opportunities, running the numbers before you tour, and negotiating with the discipline of an operator who'll have to run the property.

  • Off-market and pocket-listing sourcing
  • Pre-offer revenue and expense modeling
  • Negotiation, inspection, and closing support
05

Commercial Leasing & Sales

Representation for small commercial assets, mixed-use, and hospitality properties in Leelanau and Grand Traverse — tenant and landlord rep, lease structuring, and disposition strategy.

  • Tenant and landlord representation
  • Lease review and structuring
  • Disposition and 1031 exchange coordination
06

Short-Term Rental Management

Already a Tended specialty. Owner-first management for STRs across Northern Michigan — listed alongside our brokerage services so investors have one team from acquisition through operation.

  • Full-service guest and property care
  • Dynamic pricing and revenue reporting
  • Seamless handoff from purchase to first booking

Complimentary

Real Estate & Investment Market Analysis

Considering a purchase, sale, or new build? We'll review the property, run a regional comp and STR revenue analysis, and walk you through the numbers — no obligation, no pressure.
