There's a calm presence to Kelli Walinske that instantly makes you feel at home which is fitting, since "home" is exactly what she's passionate about helping others find, love, and care for. A full-time Harsens Island resident and trusted real estate advisor, Kelli specializes in waterfront properties in St. Clair and Macomb Counties, Lake St. Clair, the St. Clair River, and the beautiful islands that make this region The Heart of the Great Lakes.   With over two decades of experience in real estate, mortgages, and investment properties, Kelli brings both deep industry knowledge and a neighborly approach to everything she does. From her start in mortgage origination and banking in 2003 to becoming a licensed Realtor® in 2009, her journey has always been rooted in service, integrity, and relationships.   Kelli and her husband started out flipping properties, but as she raised her family and dogs on and around the water, the focus shifted. It became about creating a lifestyle, one where nature, health, and community matter. Now she brings that same heartfelt approach to her clients. Whether you're looking for your dream lake home, a seasonal getaway, or simply someone to keep an eye on your cottage while you're down south, Kelli is your go-to local resource.   She's not only connected...she's committed. Need inspectors? A mold remediation specialist? A roofer or electrician? Handyman or mover? Kelli knows the right people.
