Jaimie Fellows-Garno
City2Shore Northern Michigan
Jaimie Fellows-Garno is Kirby and Angie's most trusted and most active referral partner in Northern Michigan -- and the reason is simple. She was born and raised in Manton, has worked this market for over 25 years, and treats every single client like family. She isn't just knowledgeable about Northern Michigan real estate. She is Northern Michigan real estate.
City2Shore Northern Michigan • Manton
Born Here. Raised Here.
Has the Keys to Every Door.
Jaimie Fellows-Garno didn't move to Northern Michigan for the lifestyle. She grew up here -- in Manton, in the same small town where she still has her office, where she knows her neighbors, where she hears about properties before they hit the MLS because she's been embedded in this community her entire life.
She's been in real estate for over 25 years. That's not a headline -- it's context for everything else. Twenty-five years in this market means she has worked through every interest rate environment, every market cycle, every type of transaction this corridor has to offer. Sellers, buyers, investors, banks -- residential and commercial, starter homes and properties listed at over a million dollars. She has seen it all and closed most of it.
Jaimie holds the Associate Broker license and the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) credential, and she earned her Business Administration and Management degree from Baker College. The credentials matter -- but so does how she applies them. Clients consistently describe her as someone who proactively addresses problems before they surface, who communicates with honesty and frequency, and who shows up with genuine compassion for what her clients are going through -- not just professional competence.
She was named Best of the Best Real Estate Agent three consecutive years in a row: 2019, 2020, and 2021. She was featured in Top Agent Magazine. Her Facebook page describes her mission simply: "I am your lifelong Real Estate Professional." That's not marketing language -- that's a stated commitment she actually keeps. She is deeply community-rooted: Rotary member, Chamber of Commerce, Director of Business After 5. Outside of real estate, she hikes the North Country Trail, practices yoga, boats on the rivers and lakes, cooks and entertains, and cheers loudly for the people she loves.
Twenty-Five Years Is
Not an Accident.
Most people who have been doing the same thing for 25 years either burned out or got comfortable. Jaimie did neither. Her reviews read like a person who is still fully invested in every single transaction -- the one who treats a $120,000 starter home with the same urgency and care as a $1.2 million property.
That longevity is built on the same things it has always been: quick response times, an honest approach to sales, and a commitment to proactively catching problems before clients even know they exist. She values training and is constantly working to improve -- which is not something 25-year veterans typically say unless they mean it.
For Jaimie, this is more than a career. It is how she participates in her community, helps her neighbors, and contributes to the Northern Michigan she loves. She calls it helping others attain the American Dream and create lasting memories of home. Spend five minutes reading her client reviews and you'll understand that's not a tagline -- it's a description of how she actually operates, every day, in the community she was born in.
What Jaimie Brings to Every Transaction
The qualities that have made her Northern Michigan's most trusted agent for over 25 years.
Born Here. Stays Here.
Jaimie didn't choose Manton as a career move -- she was born and raised here. That's not a detail; it's the foundation of everything. She knows this community the way only someone who grew up in it can. She hears about listings before they're public. She knows what each neighborhood is actually like to live in.
Proactive Problem-Solving
Multiple clients and her own bio describe the same thing: Jaimie addresses details before they become problems. After 25 years, she knows exactly where deals go sideways and builds her process around preventing it. Clients don't get surprised. Lenders don't get surprised. Things close.
Full-Spectrum Representation
Sellers, buyers, investors, and banks. Residential and commercial. Entry-level homes and properties over $1,200,000. Vacant land, acreage, investment properties. Jaimie works every corner of the Northern Michigan real estate market -- not a specialist who limits her value to one transaction type.
Honest, Fast Communication
She prides herself on quick response times and an honest approach. Both things are cited by clients repeatedly. In a transaction where timing matters and transparency matters even more, having an agent who picks up and tells you the truth is genuinely valuable -- and genuinely rare.
Treats Clients Like Family
Jaimie describes this herself, and her clients confirm it. The compassion she shows while helping sell a parent's home. The surprise she gives the kids to reward them for keeping their rooms clean during showings. The patience with clients who are going through emotionally difficult transactions. This is who she is.
Community Connections That Open Doors
Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Director of Business After 5 -- Jaimie is one of the most networked people in this community. That means she hears about listings before they're public, knows the right people to call for every situation, and has relationships that translate directly to better outcomes for her clients.
What Clients Say About Working with Jaimie
Twenty-five years of client reviews tell a consistent story.
"She helped calm me down when I thought it was all falling apart! If you need someone to help you find your next forever home, she is the ONE!!! She shows true compassion for your family and feelings!"
"She was very attentive during the selling process and had a cash offer on my house two days after being on the market! Highly recommend!"
"Our family has known Jaimie a long time. Her list price judgment is sound. The house was in escrow in less than two weeks with a 30-day close. Although I was on the West Coast during escrow, Jaimie and her team made communication and doc signing pretty seamless. 5 stars and a recommendation for everybody."
"Jaimie's love of family, community, clients, and God is evident in all she does. Her experience, knowledge of real estate, and numerous achievements is what sets her apart from the rest."
"Her personality, professionalism, and expertise make the home purchase experience comfortable and unstressed. Communication and honest guidance are Jaimie's strengths. She looks out for the best interests of the seller as well as the buyer."
"She was helpful, flexible and informative, especially with us moving from 6 hours away. Really appreciate all she did for us."
What Sets Jaimie Apart
Best of the Best Three Years Running
2019. 2020. 2021. Back to back to back. That's not one good year -- that's a consistent standard of performance recognized by the community she serves every day.
Top Agent Magazine Feature
As an Associate Broker at City2Shore, Jaimie was selected as a featured agent in Top Agent Magazine -- a national real estate publication that spotlights standout professionals recognized for exceptional performance and client service.
Manton Is Home, Not a Market
She wasn't recruited here, didn't relocate for opportunity, and doesn't commute in from somewhere else. Manton is where she grew up and where she still lives her life. That connection shows in every client interaction and every transaction she touches.
Associate Broker + ABR
The Associate Broker license requires additional education and experience beyond a standard real estate license. Combined with the ABR credential, Jaimie brings a level of professional development to buyer representation that most agents in this market can't match.
Residential AND Commercial
Most agents work one side of the market. Jaimie works both -- residential homes, vacant land, commercial properties, and investment transactions. That breadth means she can help a client regardless of what the opportunity looks like.
Lifelong Professional Commitment
She calls herself "your lifelong Real Estate Professional." Reviews describe people who have worked with her multiple times over many years. That kind of ongoing relationship isn't built on a single transaction -- it's built on trust earned over 25 years of showing up for people.
