First started as an investor while I was a nurse, I then became a Realtor in early 2000. My passion is Real Estate. Helping sellers sell for their next chapter in life and buyers, (especially first time buyers) purchase their ( first) new home. With my skills, tools, and knowledge, I do what I do best. It shows, cause I am proud to say that I am one of the top producing agents in our office and, in our franchise

Testimonial: In our lives we come to meet many people that cross our lives. How fortunate we have been to not only find the world’s best realtor, but an amazing friend. Your conscientious attention to detail- our timely calls- emails, and texts- and yes…. even your “nail pulling” skills have endeared us to you. Doing business with you has been delightful and you have made the home buying experience so much more easy and carefree. Love, Mary and Eric Petro

Statement from Gail: Mary and Eric I had the pleasure meeting when they walked-in and said they needed a Realtor to sell their (2nd, up north) home. Their home sold in no time and fortunately for me, they wanted to retire up north and together we found their beautiful new home. To this day we remain friends and will be friends forever.

Hey there! I’m Kim Mettler, a Northern Michigan real estate professional with a passion for helping people find the perfect place to call home. Before stepping into real estate, I built a successful career as the owner of Michigan Barefoot Memories Photography, capturing the beauty of Michigan’s landscapes and the special moments in people’s lives. My background in photography, marketing, and small business ownership has given me a sharp eye for detail, a talent for storytelling, and a deep appreciation for what makes a house feel like home.

I hail from Grand Rapids, by way of college in Kalamazoo (Go Broncos!), followed by an advertising career in Southern California and Detroit. After years of city living, I found my heart in Boyne City, where I now call a quiet cabin in the woods home. Northern Michigan’s natural beauty and tight-knit communities are what drew me in, and I love helping others find a place that feels just as special to them.

Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a life moment. My goal is to make the process as smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable as possible, whether you're looking for a cozy cabin in the woods, a lakeside retreat, or your dream home in town.

I’m proud to be part of Real Estate One and excited to bring my passion for Northern Michigan and my dedication to exceptional service to my real estate clients.

Let’s connect—I’d love to help you with your next move!

My love for northern Michigan began in childhood, spending summers “up north” in Bay View. I grew up thinking that everyone moved houses every two years but soon realized that most families were not as keen on real estate as mine. In the thirty plus years I have lived in Northern Michigan, I have moved multiple times, owning several properties of all shapes and sizes in the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area. Real estate has always been a passion of mine, and I’m excited to share the experience and knowledge that I have gained over the years. Some of you may know me as “The Pie Lady” - indeed, I have owned and operated my business, Suzie’s Pies, here in Northern Michigan for over 25 years!. While I still very much enjoy making and delivering fresh-baked pies to my loyal customers’ homes, I now have another reason to show up on your doorstep - as your realtor! After all, “pie is the limit” when it comes to serving your real estate needs. I’m excited to be part of the Real Estate One Team!

As a proud member of Real Estate One, I bring deep Northern Michigan roots and two decades of local experience to every client relationship. I’ve lived in the Petoskey area since 2008 and truly understand what makes this community such a special place to call home. From lakefront properties to quiet country settings, I appreciate the lifestyle that draws people here—and I’m passionate about helping others find their perfect fit in Northern Michigan.

Before transitioning into real estate, I built my career serving our community in healthcare, first as a nurse then as a nurse practitioner, working in local hospitals since 2008. Through years of caring for patients and collaborating with families, I developed strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to service—qualities that now guide me in real estate by forming lasting relationships with a strong understanding of the people and neighborhoods that make up our region.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and father of three. Our family embraces everything Northern Michigan has to offer— fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, skiing, running, boating, and spending time outdoors year round. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I’m dedicated to providing knowledgeable guidance, steady support, integrity, and a personalized experience every step of the way.
