David Shuman

This is the second time we used David for a real estate transaction. David and his staff were very professional. David was there to help us make decisions by clearly explaining our options with sound advice. He made the whole process personal. We highly recommend Bay North Realty.

David helped my husband and me with our house hunt remotely and helped us find a great place. He was always quick to respond to emails and texts and schedule virtual showings. In a hectic real estate market with low inventory, he made the process as stress free as possible!

Our family recently relocated to Petoskey from California to be closer to family. Given we lived 3,000 miles away, we were looking at homes online and asking David lots and lots of questions. David was very accommodating. He shared local knowledge about homes, neighborhoods, family activities, and more.

With David’s help we found the perfect house for our family and we are excited for our new life here in Petoskey.

Having known Dave for 30 years I can attest to his leadership and personal drive. Dave is a native to the Petoskey area when my wife and I decided to buy a second home in Harbor Springs, we knew there was only one person to reach out to assist us.
Dave sent us the property the day it hit the market and got us in to see the property on the same day. We took Dave’s advice on the offer we should submit and it was accepted on the spot. The process of working with Dave and his team could not have been smoother. If you are looking for real estate in the North Bay Area, I strongly recommend you reach out to Dave and take advantage of his lifelong local knowledge of the area and the real estate market.

We can honestly say that we’ve never met an individual like David in the Real Estate Business. He is Genuine. More than a Realtor/Broker, he was for us a highly talented and knowledgeable counselor of the area and inventory of homes for sale. David’s persistent watch (like a hawk) was the reason for us finding the right home, and he found it before it went on the market. His ambition isn’t turn a sale, it is to truly help someone find what they’re looking for.

Thank you David for being part of making our dreams come true. We look forward to working with you again in the future

Paul and Daphne Thompson

We worked with David for several months to find our new home in harbor springs. Once we found out the perfect property, David did the research so that we could make realistic offer that made sense for us.

I appreciate true professionalism when I see it. David Shuman is genuinely one of the good guy in his field, he knows his business and makes things happen. Thank you, David, for a job well done.

When selling my house on Walloon Lake, I called David Shuman at Bay North Realty. David did a thorough analysis of the market and recommended listing my property for considerably more than I anticipated.

The team at BNR was very helpful in getting my property ready and ultimately sold it for much more than I initially thought. I attribute the price received in large part to the excellent advertising of my property.

After selling my house on Walloon, David helped me find an excellent condominium near Petoskey. I highly recommend David Shuman and Bay North Realty.

I understand that in listing my home I was presenting David and Sarah with a unique challenge. I had already purchased a new property and as the Director of Charlevoix Circle of Arts I had limited time to focus on the sale of the home but letting go of the design process is not something I relish. When David and Sarah swept in, they came prepared with a strategy, staged and presented my home to maximize the effects of space and had a clear marketing plan.

Their magic was evident as I was presented with two offers soon after the home was listed which allowed me to move into my forever home happily. They are grace, sophistication, and talent under pressure.

We have bought and sold three homes with David. We are impressed with his extensive knowledge of the local area and the current real estate trends. David listens to our needs and develops a tailor-made plan for our family. His personal approach is the main reason we have and will continue turn to him for our real estate needs.

We highly recommend David!

David went above and beyond to sell our home. With his in-depth knowledge of the downtown market, he provided thoughtful guidance from pricing to preparing our house to sell. We had a strong offer within a week of listing!

From beginning to end, David helped us make our dreams a reality.
