Molly Buttleman-@properties Christies International

Fantastic experience: Molly is top notch in every way. She is honest and gives her professional opinion in the real estate transaction, which is spot on. I knew we were in very capable hands with her acting on our behalf.

Fantastic experience: Molly delivered exceptionally well the expected traits and assistance of a licensed realtor: professionalism, communication skills, efficiency of operation and effectiveness by bringing the selling to a closer deal. In addition to the above, she had the following pluses: Being open to my request for her to actively include my two “kids’” (50 plus years old) in the process. She did this so well that my kids felt valued and became an important part of the process. They both said to me that I made a good choice in having Molly as my selling agent. Molly related well to them. There were some family health issues beyond selling the house occurring, my anxiety level was very high. Molly’s positive outlook during direct contact with me addressing selling issues and process coupled with the involvement of my kids greatly reduced my anxiety level. She related very well to me. I am very glad that I chose her to sell my house. This was not done by AI but personally by me.

Fantastic experience: We just sold our house In Elk Rapids & purchased a new home in Kewadin. Molly assisted us with both transactions which went flawlessly!

We would highly recommend working with her on the purchase or the sale of your next home

Fantastic experience: Molly facilitated the sale of our vacation home. It was a unique high quality home in a location that did not have many comps, making the pool of buyers very specific. She took less time than I thought it would take to close the deal and sell the home for us. When it came time for negotiations, that is when Molly really proved her experience and knowledge. Anyone looking for a realtor who makes it easy and seamless from start to finish needs Molly in their corner.

Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Molly and her team to purchase our lake home and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish Molly was knowledgeable about the area, honest in her guidance, and incredibly patient as we navigated an important decision for our family. What impressed us most was Molly’s ability to understand exactly what we were looking for—both the practical details and the lifestyle we hoped to create. She gave us thoughtful insights on the neighborhoods, lake conditions, and long-term value, which helped us feel confident in our choice. Communication was always quick, clear, and proactive. Whenever a question came up—even outside of normal hours—Molly was right there with answers, recommendations, and reassurance. The entire process was seamless thanks to her professionalism and attention to detail. We are so grateful to have worked with Molly and her team on this important decision.

She was very well connected, and I would highly suggest anyone to use her as a real estate agent 100%

Fantastic experience: We worked with Gabby in the search of our first home. We didn't have a large budget and had an ideal home in mind- it took us several months and many many showings but Gabby was so patient with us and ultimately we found an awesome home in a great location!! She was so kind and helpful, and we will absolutely be recommending and using her for any future searches!!

Fantastic experience: As a first time home buyer, I had no idea how to start the process of buying a house. Gabby answered every question quickly. She is very professional and on top of things. We were able to find the perfect first home! I was expecting this process to be stressful but it ended up being completely stress free. I loved working with Gabby through this process! I highly recommend Gabby Tester and Molly Buttleman. They are the best in the business!

Fantastic experience: The moment we met Molly we knew that she was the person who could help us to realize our dream of finding a vacation home for our family. Being from out of state, we embarked on what we thought would be a long journey to find a home that would meet our criteria. Molly and her assistant, Gabby, listened to our checklist and helped to narrow our choices. They helped us to understand the limited inventory, navigate the Traverse City market, and maximize our limited time in the TC area. They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process and the purchase was completed with minimal stress and quickly. We can not recommend Molly enough. She is very knowledgeable about the market, super attentive to our needs and answered our many questions in a timely manner. We have appreciated her guidance and have been thankful for her continued support as we prepare the home to meet the needs of our family. Thank you for helping make our dreams come true.

Fantastic experience: Selling and buying a home is one of the most stressful things you can go through. Doing both while moving permanently across the country, well that takes it to a whole new level of stress. Working with Molly though, made it as stress-free as possible. She was a calming force when we needed reassurance that everything was going to work out in the end. When our current house sold and closed before our new house was finished being built, she worked with us to minimize the impact by negotiating a favorable post-close vacate date. And she couldn't have been more accommodating in getting us into our new house early while the final touches were still being made. We had a vision for what our new house would be. Molly and her development team were instrumental in making our vision a reality!

Molly took the time to understand our needs and preferences, patiently guiding us through the entire home-buying process. She was always available to answer our questions and provide valuable insights, which made us feel confident every step of the way. Her attention to detail and proactive approach were evident as she curated a list of properties that perfectly matched our criteria. What truly stood out to us was Molly's commitment to ensuring we found not just a house, but a home that we would love for years to come. She went above and beyond, arranging viewings at times that worked for us and providing honest feedback about each property. Her deep understanding of the Traverse City area was an invaluable resource, and she helped us navigate the competitive market with ease. When we finally found "the one," Molly skillfully negotiated on our behalf, making the entire process seamless. Her expertise and dedication were clear, and we felt fully supported throughout the closing process. Thanks to Molly, we are now happily settled in our dream home, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated realtor in Traverse City, look no further than Molly Buttleman. She truly made our home-buying experience a joy!

Fantastic experience: Our family feels honored to have been referred to Molly by Kathy Whittbrodt. I knew from the first time we met that Molly was the exact person I was looking for. HAPPY, casual yet serious and dedicated to the task of everything that it takes to get a listing on the market. She brings with her an assistant, Gabby, that is also sharp, on time, and equally friendly. Selling a home is a big deal, I believe you need someone that is happy in their work, to do a good job for you. It certainly paid off for us.

Fantastic experience: Molly was the listing agent for our home in Northport. I was extremely impressed with every interaction I had with Molly. She is professional, motivated and knowledgeable. Every effort was made to ensure the best interest of the seller (me) was met. Never did I not feel as if I was not her most important client. Others working with Molly (Gabby in particular) were likewise kind and responsive. I would never hesitate to recommend Molly to a friend or family member. Personally, whether buying or selling real estate in the greater TC area, I would utilize the services of no one else.

We never felt rushed with conversations or decisions, we felt heard, and she made sure to walk us through all of the hypotheticals.

If you are interested in a buying/selling agent please consider Molly. She’s the real deal, didn’t give us the run around, and we knew we could trust her entirely. We felt she was a rare gem in today’s world.

Fantastic experience: Molly and Gabby were both great to work with. They were flexible and made sure that even though we were searching for our home from out of the area, we were able to get virtual showings quickly, which we know is how we were able to find (and get) the perfect house for us. We couldn't have done it without them!

Fantastic experience: Molly & Gabby are the dream team!! We feel so lucky and fortunate to have worked with them. My husband and I are out of state buyers but we never felt that being out of state was a disadvantage. Molly is so knowledgeable of the market and the Traverse City area. She was quickly able to narrow down the areas and type of properties that would meet our needs. We quickly found a home we loved and we felt so well represented during the home purchase process. Molly is efficient, friendly, funny, and kind. Gabby is the same!! Molly and Gabby went out of their way to assist us even after the closing as we embarked on a remodel of our home. They are both a joy to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to purchase or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Molly was an amazing realtor, who listened to me and my situation. Literally helped me get the most for my house. She sold my home in 4 days and guided me through the process.

Looking for a realtor and unsure who to use, CALL Molly!! You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Molly is wonderful in every way. Not only is she experienced, knowledgeable, and well versed in Traverse City real estate, she is also your friend. During my divorce, Molly would counsel me every step of the way through the emotional turmoil while also helping me find and purchase my dream post-divorce home to call my own. She made it so easy and effortless for me, as a buyer. You can trust that you are in the best hands with Molly by your side. She will be honest and cautious with your home purchase as she recognizes your home is the biggest investment of your life. Molly is the #1 BEST REALTOR in all of northern Michigan! I won’t use anyone else.

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue! After the death of my husband I found myself having to make some very difficult decisions – one of which was to sell my home. I contacted Molly at the recommendation of a friend and I could not be happier. She is an absolute dream to work with. As you can imagine the thought of selling my home was very emotional for me. Molly not only helped me with the technical process of selling the home but was always mindful and supportive of the emotions I was experiencing. She came out one day in October and helped me understand the value of my home and property, explained everything and gave me her experienced and professional opinion. Then she gave me time to process it all and NEVER pushed me into making a decision. She kept in contact just to see how I was doing and in February she called to let me know that she had a potential buyer if I was interested. Although still unsure if I was ready, I trusted her and allowed a showing. An offer was made and the rest is history. Since I was moving out of the area, Molly put me in contact with a reputable realtor where I was planning to relocate and she helped me feel safe and secure in the buying process. I honestly cannot recommend Molly enough! Not only is she knowledgeable about the market, her professionalism and responsiveness are top notch, but above all of that she is genuine, kind, honest and sincere and helped me make the best decisions I could for myself and my family. She is a friend you can trust and you will not be sorry for choosing her!

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience with Molly and her team. She helped us quickly identify the right property, evaluate an appropriate offer to put forward, and was there every step of the way during the several months it took to finish construction on the home and even after we closed. Would highly recommend Molly on any higher-end home in the area. Thanks, Molly!

Fantastic experience: We recommend Molly Buttleman as a realtor without hesitation. She is a true and accomplished professional — she knows and brings insight regarding the market, she promoted our property through channels and vehicles tailored to get it to the most likely buyers, she is honest, she is fair, she is a wonderful communicator, she is available, and she was an objective advisor as we reviewed offers. Couple her professionalism with her engaging personality and a real estate transaction, which can be anxiety laden, becomes fun. We worked with Molly under a dual agency agreement, where she represented both buyers and sellers. She was able to see the needs and desires of both parties from a perspective that was uncluttered. By virtue of this role, she quickly found the common ground necessary for an agreement and rapidly brought the parties together. Unlike other realtors with whom we’ve worked, working with Molly was a pleasure. We would recommend Molly in a heartbeat — we already have.

Fantastic experience: When looking to sell our fifth generation family home on Long Lake, we had spoken to other realtors before finding Molly. In comparison to the others, we found Molly to be incredibly well-prepared with a deep knowledge and understanding of the Traverse City area real estate market, especially larger properties and lakefront homes. Molly is innovative in her approach and creative in her solutions to situations. She is willing to pursue alternatives and is committed to going the extra mile to make sure everything is addressed. Molly made many visits on our behalf (both official and unofficial) to building/zoning offices, developers, investors, industry experts and the like. She worked with our family both in-person as well as remotely in multiple cities. She is a consummate professional - and a lot of fun! We are grateful to have found her and we will absolutely be using her again.

Fantastic experience: Molly was the most amazing real estate agent! She made the staging, selling and closing process for our parents’ lake home so streamlined and thorough. She is beyond professional and truly knowledgeable about lake property. She has strong marketing experience and leveraged a variety of channels, including several social feeds, to showcase the property. The best attribute of Molly is her compassion and thoughtfulness. I knew after just a few minutes of meeting her that we could be friends and I trusted her. I would recommend Molly in a heartbeat and she would be my go to agent again if I had another property to sell. Thank you Molly for all you do and just being you!

We asked around the area for references to realtors that specialized in lake front properties and Molly’s name kept coming up.

We received two immediate offers and closed within a month from listing. My expectations were exceeded! Thank you Molly for a great experience!!!
