Jennifer Hastings

I've been working with Jennifer for a couple of years now. I go to her every time I want to buy a home or sell a home. She's super professional, quick to respond, and very down to earth.

I have bought and sold around a half a dozen houses, and I must say this one was so smooth and professionally done. Thank you.

Jennifer is who you need to sell your home. She and her team have vision and the expertise to sell. Thanks Blue Lakes Real Estate Group!!!!

We moved to the Traverse City area June this year (2021)! We originally bought a house we knew was a little to small for us! So we decided to see what else was out there! Luckily we found Brenna! We have a 3 now 4 year old and viewing houses wasn’t always a delight if he wasn’t in the mood lol. And she helped so much! She was patient, understanding, and diligent! Brenna put in so much work and was amazing at providing solutions when we needed them! We highly recommend Brenna, she goes above and beyond! Thank you for everything!

Our family can't say enough great things about working with Jennifer. We live a couple hours from the Traverse City area and typically get the "why don't we move here" itch each summer because we enjoy the area so much. I've never personally met Jennifer, my wife was able to meet for an initial walk through when the property first hit the market, but for 3+ years we would reach out to her thinking we were ready to make the move or a purchase. Each time she heard our wants / needs and was helpful and offered the right suggestions on what areas would be the prudent investment. She could have sold us any property but patience and sound investment advice won the day. Nonetheless, we were more or less just kicking the tires, but she treated us like we were still the most important clients. Always. This October we finally stopped kicking the tires and couldn't have asked for a better agent to continue representing us. Despite living out of the area, she coordinated the needed contractors to get a better understanding of the property needs based on our home inspection. Through this she was able to re-negotiate a new purchase price on our behalf and leave both parties more than happy with the final outcome. Prior to closing and us not being able to make it back to Traverse City, she did a facetime walk-through of the property to make sure the sellers had left the property in the proper condition for the ownership change. While this was an unusual, for us, way to purchase a property, I can say unequivocally that we felt 100% comfortable with the process from start to finish and it was because of Jennifer's great knowledge of the area, her hand holding during the buying / selling process, and always going above and beyond for her clients...even if we were just kicking tires for 3 years.

We have purchased 4 houses over the last 30 years and Brenna Russell is by far the best realtor we have ever had. Brenna is extremely professional, helpful and responsive but also friendly and lots of fun. We purchased while living in another state and Brenna did everything to make sure we had all the information we needed.. She went out of her way on several occasions to make sure we would happy with our purchase! We would recommend Brenna without any hesitation whatsoever!
