Marc Foerster | Luxury & Waterfront Realtor® in Traverse City, MI

Marc Foerster is a trusted Traverse City Realtor® specializing in luxury homes, waterfront properties, and lifestyle real estate throughout Northwest Michigan, including Old Mission Peninsula, Leelanau Peninsula, Suttons Bay, Leland, Glen Arbor, and surrounding lakefront communities.

A Traverse City local, Marc brings a rare blend of military discipline, executive leadership, and hands-on real estate expertise to every client relationship. He began his professional career as a construction surveyor in the U.S. Army, where he developed a precise understanding of land, structure, and the importance of getting details right the first time.

Following his military service, Marc built a distinguished corporate career that led to his role as Vice President of Sales & Marketing for a Fortune 150 company, overseeing global strategy, negotiations, and performance-driven teams. That experience now translates directly into real estate—where strategy, negotiation, risk assessment, and long-term value matter most, especially in the luxury and waterfront markets.

Marc is a lifelong student of architecture, construction, and home design, with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and renovation potential. His hands-on knowledge allows him to guide clients beyond the surface—evaluating build quality, improvement opportunities, and long-term investment considerations for Lake Michigan shoreline estates, bayfront homes, and Northern Michigan retreats.

At his core, Marc believes real estate decisions should align both financial objectives and lifestyle goals. Known for his calm demeanor, thoughtful counsel, and unwavering advocacy, he provides clients with clarity, confidence, and strategic guidance throughout the entire buying or selling process.

Outside of real estate, Marc enjoys hands-on restoration projects, creative problem-solving in his workshop, and spending time immersed in the landscapes that make Northwest Michigan so special. He and Erica are currently restoring their 1950s Suttons Bay cottage, a labor of love that reflects his respect for history, design, and thoughtful stewardship.
