    About Wayne Toteff

    Born in Detroit, I moved to Northern Michigan at the age of 11. After completing school in Gaylord, I attended and graduated from Albion College. I spent 3 years living in Leelanau County and I currently live in Elk Rapids, where I have been for 25 years. I am a part of Northern Michigan and it is a part of me. I am blessed to enjoy the outdoors, especially the forest and the bay. After 17 years as a Financial Advisor, I became a licensed real estate agent and I am proud to be a Realtor. I am passionate about serving my clients, helping them meet their needs and wants, and guiding them on the journey to owning a home, or selling one. Always trying to do things differently, I find creating relationships first, best serves my clients. Honesty is the foundation that mutual trust is built upon, and I am a straight shooter. I like to say I keep the real in real estate. My focus is the Grand Traverse Bay area, its surrounding counties and lakes. Torch Lake, Elk Lake, Grand Traverse Bay, Traverse City, Acme, Williamsburg, Elk Rapids, Alden to Buckley...I have sold homes in all these areas and more. This is my home and I proudly help those in this community, professionally and personally, as well as those looking to become part of Northern Michigan.

    Wayne was extremely responsive and professional at first contact and at our initial meeting. It was clear he was the best choice for us. Wayne helped us find a property and suggested it, knowing it was a great fit but also understanding we would be skeptical. His market knowledge, understating of our needs and patience was very helpful. While the property was not an exact match to our list of wants and needs it provided benefits we had never contemplated and we expect to enjoy for years to come. Working with Wayne was a real estate purchasing experience that surpassed all our expectations.

    Wayne far exceeded my expectations with an incredible work ethic and made a not very pleasant experience easy and seamless. Wayne was an absolute true professional and I would highly recommend him.

    We aren?t people that do reviews but are compelled to do one on Wayne Toteff! We contacted Zillow to schedule a tour on a Sunday and was touring with Wayne later that day. He went beyond our expectations! He got important documents together for us within a day! Wayne went even further and got professional opinions on things we were questioning as well. We got to go through with an independent contractor and he answered all our concerns. Wayne definitely worked for us and made us feel he really wanted to help us get what we wanted. Yet at the same time we never felt pressured. That was so refreshing. We actually felt as if we gained a new friend instead of a realtor. We strongly recommend Wayne to be the realtor to contact to help find the perfect place for them!

    After not receiving any offers for nearly two years on a house needing to be sold as part of an estate settlement, we decided to switch realtors. A neighbor recommended Wayne Toteff, and after meeting him in person and seeing first hand his willingness to jump in and help solve a leaking refrigerator problem, we decided to list with him. From the beginning he was responsive, and displayed initiative with his marketing of the property, and most importantly to us, his frequent communication with us, by phone or email. This is what desired after our unsuccessful listing with another realtor. Thought the price and location of the home made for a challenging sale, Wayne was able to generate multiple offers on the house, including one we readily accepted. Wayne displayed a level of integrity and cooperative, helpful spirit not often found. We strongly recommend Wayne if looking for a realtor in NW Michigan.
