Meet the Owners
Hi! We’re Rick and Kristin Burmeister
We’ve called Kalamazoo County home since 2006, raising our three daughters right here in Southwest Michigan. In 2021, we finally made the move to our year-round home on Indian Lake, where we love living lakeside every day!
Real estate has been part of our lives for a long time—we’ve owned and managed multiple rental properties since 2003 and have fully remodeled two of our own homes from the ground up. We’re passionate about great homes and what they mean to families.
Living on Indian Lake opened our eyes to something special. We started hosting get-togethers with neighbors and quickly heard the same stories over and over: many folks snowbird south or head back to Chicago for long stretches, leaving their cottages empty. They shared tales of unexpected issues like frozen pipes and storm damage. We realized we could help provide peace of mind for our friends and neighbors. Caring about our neighbors’ houses turned into a passion in which we created a business!
