👋 Hi I’m TJ Shimek.

Born and raised in Leelanau County, MI, I know Northern Michigan like the back of my hand. My roots run deep—from family farms to the shores of Glen Lake, this community is part of who I am. As the son of farmers behind the iconic M72 sweetcorn stand, I learned the value of hard work, trust, and community from an early age. After chasing big dreams as a 5-time All-American at Aquinas College and building a successful Traverse City business from $1M to $14M, I’m here to bring that same energy to real estate—helping you make Northern Michigan your home.
