Keef is an Oregon native who had a successful career in Project Management building some of the largest cruise ships around the world before becoming a Realtor in 2004. Over the last 15 years he has owned a very successful real estate business in the Columbia River Gorge. Having built a home and moved to his wife's hometown of Traverse City in 2018 he will continue his real estate path. He is building a strong team to invest and develop in Northern Michigan, ensuring a vibrant future for the place his children can now call home. 

 Lauren was born and raised in Traverse City and moved to Hood River, Oregon in 2003 to enjoy the outdoor recreation and spent a lot of time hiking, kiteboarding and snowboarding. She met Keef when she launched her property management company in The Dalles(20 miles from Hood River). Because The Dalles is one of the top sweet cherry producing areas, she named her company Cherry City Properties. She managed nearly 300 properties in 9 years. About 75% of the properties were single family homes and the rest fully furnished corporate rentals. Keef and Lauren got married and now have 3 beautiful young boys. She sold Cherry City Properties and moved back to the real “Cherry City,” in 2018, to raise their family and to open a new chapter in their real estate story.  

 Lukas, Wesley and Kelly keep things running smoothly. Well, they keep us running. Literally.
