Joe Van Antwerp

As a KW Luxury designated Real Estate Agent, I specialize in more than just high-end properties — I specialize in delivering a high-end experience.
 
Serving Traverse City, Leelanau County, and the greater Northern Michigan region, I work with discerning clients who expect more than just a transaction. They want white-glove service, expert guidance, and a professional who understands that luxury is defined by quality, care, and attention to detail.

With over five years of success in Northern Michigan real estate and a brand built on trust — JoeVsellsTC — I’ve helped clients navigate the sale and purchase of luxury waterfront homes, private estates, and investment properties with clarity and confidence. My clients know they can rely on me for discretion, deep market knowledge, sharp negotiation, and a custom strategy tailored to their unique goals.

Luxury isn’t just about price — it’s about experience. From the first consultation to the final closing, I offer a seamless, elevated process grounded in service, professionalism, and results. Whether you’re listing a legacy property or searching for a Northern Michigan retreat, I’m here to ensure your real estate journey reflects the standard you deserve.

Testimonials

Read what my clients have to say about working with me.

"We chose Joe after meeting him at a house showing. We later decided to ask for his help to find a lot on which to build. His demeanor and willingness to help were an immediate attraction, as was his experience. Working with Joe was great! He helped us locate properties, was very flexible in meeting, provided his honest opinions, was always patient with us, and showed that he was willing to go out of his way to help us. We intend to work with Joe again when it is time to sell our home."

Buyer
"Joe did a phenomenal job with the sale of my parents property! He was very responsive and helpful. Joe went above and beyond helping find the right buyer for such a unique property/business by making many phone calls and placing the listing in larger downstate areas. Would definitely recommend him for your real estate needs."

"Joe was the listing agent for a mixed use residential/commercial property. He was able to assist both me and the seller to navigate and come to terms that were agreeable to both parties. His local knowledge of Traverse City was extremely helpful, and his recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend Joe and looking forward to working with him again on any future purchases! Thanks Joe."

"My husband and I thought we were going to build a house until we found one that we wanted to go through. After speaking with Joe, we looked at it that same day, and after many hours of wandering with him discussing details, thoughts, and ideas, we put in an offer. Joe was everything that we wanted in a realtor. He was professional, courteous, caring, kind, detailed, and never missed anything on a checklist. When we went to sell our house, we were going to do it ourselves, and instead we used Joe because it was so easy to be with him. We knew it was going to be a seamless transaction. We knew he would take care of everything and we would never have to worry. Joe is everything you want in a realtor, he becomes a friend and a part of your family. Don’t think about it, just contact him and you can thank me later! He really is amazing."

"Not knowing where to start or what to do or who to use as a Realtor, Joe was recommended by our mortgage company. Joe has been the best in everything from selling to purchasing a new home! He made selling so easy and took all the stress out of it. As far as buying, he has been such an amazing realtor. We have not been easy as far as trying to find what we want but Joe has been so patient and supportive without pressuring or pushing us to do anything we will regret. He’s the type of realtor you barely hear about because he’s truly there for his clients and wants what’s best for you and your family! Joe will be the realtor we send all our friends and family too as we will not go through anyone else!"

"Long story short, don’t hire anyone other than Joe to sell your property. I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe to sell our home, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outstanding service I received. From the initial consultation to the closing day, Joe demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Joe went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful home-selling experience. His market knowledge and strategic approach helped us set the right asking price and make necessary improvements to market the home properly. When hiring Joe, his wife Kelly has an amazing eye for detail when preparing our property for listing, We had furniture already in the home, Kelly and Joe brought additional furniture/decor to really make the place marketable and feel like a home. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Joe kept us informed at every stage, promptly responding to my inquiries and providing valuable insights. I felt confident that our best interests were always at the forefront. In addition to his professional competence, Joe exhibited a genuine passion for his work and a commitment to client satisfaction. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Joe made the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I appreciated his positive attitude and unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone in need of a reliable and results-driven real estate professional. His expertise, integrity, and personalized service set him apart, making the home-selling process a truly positive and rewarding experience. Five stars all the way! Thank you, Joe, for exceeding our expectations and making my home-selling journey a success."
