NEW BUFFALO, MICHIGAN. Liz Roch of @properties Harbor Country represents buyers and sellers of Lake Michigan waterfront property across Harbor Country and the wider Southwest Michigan lakeshore, drawing on 15+ years in a market where frontage, access and town character vary considerably within a few miles.

The practice is based in New Buffalo and covers New Buffalo, Union Pier, Lakeside, Harbert, Sawyer, Three Oaks, Grand Beach and Michiana, extending north to St. Joseph, Stevensville, South Haven and Coloma. Property types range from Lake Michigan frontage homes and cottages to lakefront condominiums, inland lake properties, vacant land, boat slips and commercial listings.

That range reflects how the regional market actually works. A buyer searching for beach frontage in Union Pier and a buyer searching for a harbor slip in New Buffalo are shopping within a few miles of each other but under entirely different constraints, and the two sets of properties rarely overlap.

Harbor Country sits roughly seventy miles from Chicago, which has long shaped demand along this stretch of shoreline. Second home buyers, year round residents and investors compete for the same limited inventory of frontage, and supply is fixed by geography rather than by construction cycles.

"Buyers on this shoreline have shifted their priorities over the past several years. The view still opens the conversation, but usable access and year round livability are what close it," said a representative of Liz Roch, @properties Harbor Country.

Liz Roch operates as part of @properties Harbor Country, within the @properties Christie’s International Real Estate network. The affiliation gives regional listings exposure to a national and international audience while the day to day work stays local.

Production recognition has followed. The practice earned Platinum Production Awards in 2009 and 2011, Diamond Production Awards each year from 2012 through 2022, and a Silver Life Award in 2013. Harbor Country commercial property and foreclosure listings are handled alongside the core waterfront work.

"Waterfront is the one segment where local knowledge cannot be substituted. Frontage measurements, shoreline regulation and the character of each town vary street by street, and none of that shows up in a listing photograph," the representative said.
