The Smartest Move Available:
Partnering with Jaimie.

There's a certain kind of strategic intelligence that shows up early in a career -- knowing not just what to do, but who to align with. Trevor Knapp demonstrated that when he partnered with Jaimie Fellows-Garno to form the Garno Group at City2Shore Northern Michigan.

Jaimie brings over 25 years of Northern Michigan real estate experience to the team. She's an Associate Broker with the ABR credential, a three-time Best of the Best award winner, and someone who was born and raised in the exact communities the Garno Group serves. Her network, her market knowledge, her professional relationships, and her reputation in this corridor are the result of two and a half decades of showing up for people in Manton, Cadillac, Lake City, and the surrounding areas.

Trevor brings what every growing team needs alongside a seasoned veteran: energy, dedication, and the kind of fresh commitment to client service that doesn't get worn down by years of routine. Together they operate out of the City2Shore Northern Michigan office in downtown Manton -- a brokerage with offices in Lake City, Manton, and Cadillac that has served the Northern Michigan interior market since 2004.

For buyers and sellers in this corridor, the Garno Group means getting two agents invested in your outcome instead of one -- Jaimie's 25-year market depth and Trevor's full-throttle client focus, backed by the City2Shore platform. That combination is exactly what Kirby and Angie have trusted for their clients in this market for years.
