In northern Michigan’s exclusive real estate market, Brad Rellinger is the name discerning buyers and sellers trust. With over 30 years of experience and deep roots in the region, Brad has built a legacy defined by integrity, results, and highly personalized service.
As an associate broker with Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty and broker/owner of Mackinac Island Realty, Brad offers a rare dual perspective — pairing global reach with hyperlocal expertise. Raised on Walloon Lake and a northern Michigan resident for more than three decades, he brings an insider’s knowledge of the area’s most coveted markets, from the shoreline estates of Lake Charlevoix to the quiet elegance of Petoskey and beyond.
Brad’s approach is personal, professional, and proven. Whether representing a one-of-a-kind waterfront estate, a charming island cottage, or a prime investment opportunity, he combines a client-first mindset with the ability to navigate complex transactions seamlessly. His reputation for going above and beyond has earned him a loyal clientele — many of whom are repeat clients or referrals.
“Real estate is not just a transaction,” Brad says. “It’s a gateway to a lifestyle. My role is to make that vision a reality.”
Through his affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty, Brad’s listings receive unparalleled global exposure. Sellers benefit from being placed in front of a qualified, affluent audience. Buyers, meanwhile, gain access to exclusive inventory that’s often unavailable on public platforms.
What truly sets Brad apart is his ability to listen — and to tailor every step of the experience to meet his clients’ unique goals. It’s a rare balance of luxury service and down-to-earth authenticity.
As northern Michigan continues to attract buyers seeking both refuge and opportunity, Brad’s market insight, pricing strategy, and knowledge of regional nuances — such as waterfront regulations or island zoning — are more essential than ever.
Now, he’s playing a leading role in one of the area’s most anticipated new developments: Village Heights at Bay Harbor. This boutique condominium community will feature five buildings, each with five thoughtfully designed residences offering elevated living, panoramic views, and modern convenience. Penthouses will boast rooftop terraces with the highest vantage points in Bay Harbor, overlooking the crystal-blue expanse of Little Traverse Bay.
Centrally located in the Marina District, Village Heights offers walkable access to fine dining, luxury boutiques, wine-tasting rooms, live entertainment, and the Great Lakes Center for the Arts — creating a seamless blend of resort-style living and vibrant community.
Brad’s expertise also extends across the water to Mackinac Island, one of the most exclusive and tightly held real estate markets in the country. As the broker/owner of Mackinac Island Realty — the island’s top brokerage for nearly 40 years — he brings invaluable knowledge to a market where only 18% of the land is privately owned. From grand Victorian homes to downtown commercial gems, Brad helps clients navigate this unique environment with discretion and skill.
Whether you’re searching for a legacy lakefront estate, a luxury condo with resort amenities, or a rare opportunity on Mackinac Island, Brad Rellinger is the trusted adviser who brings vision, strategy, and results.
