With a diverse background spanning human resources, sales, and construction, Molly Buttleman brings a distinctive perspective to real estate. As the founder of the MB Collection with @properties Christie's International Real Estate, she specializes in residential buying and selling throughout Traverse City and the surrounding counties, with a focus on investment and vacation properties.
Molly's deep knowledge of Northern Michigan communities—paired with an extensive network of trusted local connections—makes her an invaluable guide for clients seeking the coveted "Up North" lifestyle. Together with her husband, a Traverse City native who shares her passion for real estate, she has successfully expanded her brand into Antrim, Leelanau, and Benzie Counties.
Her experience is both professional and personal: Molly has built spec and personal homes, renovated rental properties, and overseen countless projects from start to finish. She not only brings empathy and genuine care to every client relationship but also provides access to reliable contractors and tradespeople. "I treat every client the same," she says. "Whether it's a $250,000 condo or a $3 million home, they get my full attention. It's never about the money—it's about the people."
Known for her listening skills and thoughtful problem-solving, Molly often draws on her own real estate journey to help clients make confident, informed decisions. Her 30+ years in human resources have given her the ability to communicate effectively and build lasting relationships—qualities that continue to drive her success in real estate.
A proud Michigan native, Molly embraces everything the state has to offer. When she's not helping clients find their next home or managing a renovation project, she's usually dreaming up the next one. For Molly, real estate isn't just a career—it's a passion that energizes her every day.
