Adam Ziegler
@properties Christie's
Adam Ziegler grew up in Northern Michigan, left for college, and came back to raise his family here -- because there's no place like it. He works with buyers and sellers across all price points in the Traverse City market, backed by one of the most marketing-forward brokerages in the country. He's easy to work with, genuinely invested in every client, and exactly the kind of agent Kirby and Angie trust to take care of the people they send his way.

A Northern Michigan Kid
Who Came Back Home.
Adam Ziegler didn't end up in Traverse City by accident. He grew up here. Northern Michigan wasn't a market he studied -- it was the place he fished, explored, and called home before he was old enough to know what a real estate agent was. He left for Western Michigan University, built a career in retail leadership and people management, and then made the deliberate decision to come back and raise his family in the place he'd always loved.
That return wasn't just sentimental -- it was intentional. Adam brings a background as an experienced people leader with a demonstrated history of building relationships and guiding teams through complex decisions. That skill set translates directly to real estate. Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial decisions most people ever make. Having someone in your corner who knows how to listen, how to communicate, and how to navigate the process without rattling the client -- that's the difference between a smooth transaction and a stressful one.
Adam works with buyers and sellers across the full spectrum -- first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, and investors. He describes his approach as guiding people through every step with care and confidence. That's not a tagline; it's a reasonable description of how he actually operates.
Outside of real estate, he's an active husband, father of two teenagers, and self-described dog dad. His family is soccer-loving and adventure-oriented -- exploring the outdoors, traveling domestically and internationally, hunting out great food destinations (he cooks, he eats, he takes it seriously). You'll also find him at live music or settled in with a movie when he's not working. He's a real person with a real life in the community he serves, and it shows in how he treats his clients.
What Adam Brings to Every Transaction
The qualities that make him a reliable partner for buyers, sellers, and the lenders who work alongside him.
Grew Up Here
Adam isn't a transplant who learned Northern Michigan from a map. He grew up here, left, and came back by choice. That firsthand knowledge of the communities, the neighborhoods, and what makes this place worth living in is something you can't manufacture.
People Leadership Background
His career before real estate was spent leading teams, building relationships, and navigating complex situations. Those skills transfer directly -- buyers and sellers get an agent who listens well, communicates clearly, and stays steady when things get complicated.
Full-Spectrum Client Experience
First-time buyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, investors -- Adam works across the full range. He doesn't specialize exclusively in one buyer type or price point, which means he can adapt his approach to wherever a client actually is in their journey.
Backed by a Global Luxury Network
@properties' acquisition of Christie's International Real Estate in 2021 gave their agents access to a global referral network and luxury marketing reach. For sellers especially, that exposure matters -- and Adam's clients benefit from it at every price point.
Genuine Care for People
Adam describes real estate as a privilege -- being part of the moment someone makes their goals a reality. That's not the kind of thing you say if you're just counting commissions. His clients get an agent who is actually invested in the outcome.
Industry-Leading Tech & Marketing
@properties is one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the country, built on technology and marketing that most smaller brokerages can't match. Adam's sellers get maximum market exposure. His buyers get tools that make the search faster and smarter.
About @properties
Christie's International Real Estate
@properties is one of the largest and fastest-growing independent real estate brokerages in the country. They built their reputation on industry-leading technology, upscale marketing at all price points, and a model that creates real exposure for agents and their clients -- not just the top tier.
In 2021, @properties acquired the Christie's International Real Estate luxury referral network, giving their agents access to a global reach that very few brokerages -- regional or national -- can match. For sellers in the Traverse City market, that means exposure that extends well beyond Northern Michigan. For buyers relocating to the area from out of state, it means working with an agent who has the backing and resources to compete in a serious market.
The Northern Michigan office operates under the REMI banner -- @properties REMI Christie's International Real Estate -- serving the Traverse City area and broader northern and northwest Michigan market. It's the combination of local roots and national infrastructure that makes the platform work for clients at every level.
What Sets Adam Apart
He Came Back On Purpose
Plenty of agents end up in a market. Adam chose this one -- grew up here, built a career elsewhere, and made the deliberate decision to come home. That intentionality shows in how he works and how he talks about Northern Michigan with clients.
Built to Lead People Through Complexity
His retail leadership background isn't a detour -- it's directly relevant. Managing people through complicated decisions, keeping teams calm under pressure, communicating clearly when stakes are high. That's exactly what a good agent does.
Christie's Global Network Behind Him
Not every Traverse City agent can say their brokerage has global luxury reach. Adam can. For sellers who want maximum exposure and buyers coming from out of state, that network is a genuine differentiator.
A Real Person in the Community
Soccer games, live music, cooking, traveling -- Adam's life is embedded in the community he serves. Clients aren't dealing with someone who commutes in. They're dealing with a neighbor who happens to be a very good real estate agent.
Every Client, Every Price Point
Adam isn't looking for a certain type of client. He works with first-timers and investors, downsizers and move-up buyers. The common thread is that every person gets the same level of care and attention throughout the process.
Lender-Friendly to Work With
From our perspective, Adam is easy to collaborate with. He sets buyer expectations correctly, communicates when things come up, and keeps transactions moving. That kind of professional reliability matters when you're trying to get a deal to the closing table.
Where Adam Works
Based in Traverse City, Adam covers the greater Grand Traverse County area and the broader Northern Michigan market.
