We worked with Jonathan Oltersdorf to find a new home after relocating to Leelanau county. Jonathan is very knowledgeable about the local housing market, extremely responsive and helpful, and just a great guy to have on your team.
We had the pleasure of purchasing our first house with the help of Jonathan Oltersdorf with Oltersdorf Realty. He was able to quickly and efficiently answer all questions that we had (there were A LOT). Working Jonathan reduced our stress level as he handled everything in a professional and timely manner. He was able to show us houses the same day they came on the market and is invested in finding his clients their perfect real estate investment! After closing we were provided a wonderful bound book with all of our documents easily accessible that we have referenced many time (taxes) since purchasing. We are happy with our house and will certainly be using the fantastic services of Oltersdorf Realty in the future.
Oltersdorf Realty, LLC's professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge of the current market for property in the Traverse City area made for a quick sale.
We have bought and sold several homes and vacant land. This sale was most efficiently brought to a timely conclusion. We were very impressed with the closing document package we received after the sale was finalized.
In closing we would recommend your company and services to any future clients interested in purchasing property in northern Michigan s Leelanau Peninsula.
Jonathan did a great job for us. Professional, friendly, efficient, and communicating with us every step of the way. We're very happy with the result, and recommend the Oltersdorf team without reservation.

Great to work with. Professional, responsive, friendly, and knowledgable. Found us a property we would never have found on our own.
The entire team at Oltersdorf Realty are among the most friendly and professional agents I've worked with.
Vicky helped us get on the road to making our dream of a place up north come true! She was a pleasure to work with and willingly answered all our questions along the way. I highly recommend Vicky and her team to anyone looking for their dream in northwest Michigan!

My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Jonathon Oltersdorf throughout our search for our dream "up-north" summer home, and we were thrilled with him. His patience, professionalism, timely communication, and perseverance were amazing during the process, which led to our purchase of a home in late 2019. We plan to hire him for all of our future real estate needs, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to buy or sell property in the Leelanau area.
We just bought a house with the help of Vicky & her team. We couldn't be happier! The entire process was seamless thanks to the experience, professionalism & personal attention to detail. We would recommend Vicky & her team to anyone buying or selling.
Jonathan guided us well through negotiations for our new home. He also guided us with insurance, taxes and other related areas such as home inspection. We could not have asked for a better partner through the process. We would recommend Oltersdorf Realty to anyone looking for a team that has extensive experience and local connections.
Jonathan and his wife Jennifer are amazing. They recently helped my husband and I in our purchase of a rental property in Suttons Bay. I found their company via Google and called them after reading all the glowing reviews so now it is our turn to share how much we love this company. Both Jonathan and Jennifer are thoughtful, professional and exceptionally good at their jobs. They are detail oriented and are wonderful with communication. We felt completely confident in their ability throughout the entire process, which was quite lengthy and involved. They are knowledgeable about the area and thought of every possible detail that needed addressing in our purchase and subsequent rental arrangements. Every step of the way my husband and I were constantly remarking to ourselves how grateful we felt for having them on our team. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have any real estate needs in the Leelanau area or own a rental property and need a management company you will be thrilled with Oltersdorf Realty. If I could give them 10 stars I would. They are true joy to work with and we are so thankful to have found them. We look forward to many more years of partnership with this exceptional family business.
We worked with both Jonathan and Vicky for several years looking at every Up North property available in the Traverse City/Suttons Bay area. They were very patient as we changed our minds over and over and worked with us until we found our dream property. Since we do not live Up North communication was very important and they followed up with us very quickly as needed. They certainly know the area and helped with negotiations as well
We relocated from California, and worked with Vicky to help us find our retirement home. She found us a great house, and handled the myriads of details during the sale and closing wonderfully. She then sold some waterfront property we had owned for years- again- no hassles. Vicky is knowledgeable, professional, honest, and efficient. We recommend her without any reservations for any real estate needs.
Great experience dealing with Oltersdorf Realty in the summer of 2020, purchasing a piece of land in Leelanau. Jonathan Oltersdorf is responsive, sincere, professional and overall a pleasure to deal with - based on my experience I can highly recommend Oltersdorf Realty.
I have worked with Jonathan Oltersdorf on both the sale and purchase of condos and homes. His market knowledge and experience are of the highest quality and you can be sure you are well represented when it come time to complete a real estate transaction or review market conditions.

Vicky and Jonathan recently helped us with purchasing a lot. They were knowledgeable and kept in close contact from start to finish.
Both Vicky and Jonathan are professional, honest and attentive to all of their clients needs and wants. They always worked around my schedule and took time to make me feel comfortable buying my first home. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy anything in real estate.
Jonathan Oltersdorf was very helpful in our search for a second home/summer rental in Leelanau. He was very knowledgeable about the local market. He spent time to meet with us to discuss any concerns we had prior to looking for a new home. He sent us links to new listings very timely. Technology was very helpful since we live in the Detroit area, he made the purchase process easy so we didn't have to travel.

I had the pleasure of working with both Jonathan and Vicky Oltersdorf in transactions to buy and sell vacant land, as well as looking for a home in Leelanau County. Their knowledge of the area and the real estate market is amazing! They are easy to work with, personable, friendly and have the client's best interest at heart. My sister-in-law also worked with Jonathan to purchase vacant land and had an equally good experience. If I could give them 10 stars, I would - that's how good they are! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great real estate agent in Leelanau County!
Jonathan is a true professional...he is very kind and so knowledgeable of the real estate market in the surrounding Traverse City area. He never rushed or pressured us in any way. He is very patient and completely understands how important it is to find the right home. We would highly recommend him! He definitely goes above and beyond! On the rare occasion he wasn't available, Vicky assisted us, and she was very helpful as well. We would HIGHLY recommend Oltersdorf Realty!
Great communication. They kept me in the loop throughout my sale and purchase. They also helped me check out the market and then zero-in to find exactly what I was looking for!
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with both Jonathan and Vicky during the purchase of our first home. It was a wonderful experience!
Since we were relocating to Traverse City from another part of the state we had a basic understanding of the areas we were interested. Jonathan helped us to craft our search and set us up with automated emails of listings to allow us to watch the market for a couple of months before setting up any viewings. Once we were ready to view Jonathan quickly brought us up to speed on the nuances of the local market and neighborhoods. His local knowledge was impressive and he quickly understood exactly the type of home we were looking for. The viewings were well choreographed and we never felt rushed. Jonathan had a keen eye for detail and frequently noted potential issues as well as strengths of the homes we saw.
Making an offer was smooth. Jonathan utilized just the right mix of email and phone communication and set us up to sign documents electronically given our distance from Traverse City. He provided us detailed comparable homes to help us craft and get comfortable with our offer. Jonathan was also extremely supportive in crafting the offer with several key suggestions for timing and concessions we should require from the seller. We were amazed how involved and knowledgeable he was about the whole process, walking us through every step of the way, which was huge for us as first time buyers.
Once the offer was accepted Jonathan quickly let us know next steps and provided a variety of resources we could choose from for inspection services. He worked well with our lender to ensure documents flowed to all who needed them. He even contacted numerous local resources on our behalf to further investigate and estimate various issues that came up during the inspection. We had several addendums to the original purchase agreement due to a complex situation with the sale, and all were handled timely and easily via a remote electronic system that was vital to buying a home for out of towners.
In our last weeks before close the situation with our lender and our home had emails and calls going back and forth many times a day. Vicky stepped right in to help us field the questions and ensure we were on track to close with the closing agent giving us detailed updates via email and phone. She assisted us on our final walk through and her attention to detail was impressive. She was present for our closing and explained the entire process to us so that such a big day seemed much less stressful and chaotic than we anticipated.
I've written a book, but I still have barely touched on the details and little intangibles that we got out of the experience with Jonathan, Vicky, and team. My wife and I could not have had a better first time home buying experience (which is saying something because our purchase was so complex). We owe it all to Jonathan and Vicky and recommend them highly!
