Renovations Underway in Leland, MI
A significant milestone in the growth of Leelanau Living Realty Group is the renovation of the team's new office at 208 N Main Street in Leland, MI. The building, a historic gem known as the Captain Cook House, was acquired by Robin Vilter in July 2024 and is undergoing extensive renovations to transform it into the group's new home base. With the renovation slated for completion by early June 2025, the office will offer a welcoming space for clients and team members alike.
Robin reflects on the significance of the office location, noting, "This was my office when I first started in real estate, so in a way, it feels like a homecoming. We're looking forward to breathing new life into this historic building and making it a vibrant part of the Leland community."

807 W Front St,,I was raised in Cincinnati. My dad was a professor at U.C. and so we were fortunate to have the entire summer to spend on North Lake Leelanau. Summers in Leelanau were such a gift. Starting at the age of twelve we were able to drive the boat into town or to the yacht club. My days were jam-packed. I would teach sailing school at the Leland Yacht Club in the mornings, then take a nap on the dock or the beach, shower, then drive into Leland where I had a job as a hostess. My sisters and I did this every summer and when we had a driver's license we had more options for employment. I stashed away thousands of dollars every summer (literally in a shoe box). Yes, we worked our tails off, but it really did not seem like it since we were enjoying all the beauty of Leelanau at the same time.
I graduated from Miami of Ohio and after graduation I bought the Riverside Inn with my mother and my sister. I later sold my shares when I realized that being a single parent did not pair well with working late nights. After that I was fortunate enough to spend about a decade as a full time parent and I cherish every moment of those years with my (now adult) kiddos, Mackenzie and Sean.
