Lakeshore Agents
Kyle Taylor, Broker, Lakeshore Realty
Kyle Taylor first came to Presque Isle in 1997 while visiting family on Grand Lake. He instantly fell in love with the place. He would return frequently over the years, enjoying his summers amongst the beautiful evergreen forests and pristine lakes, and shorelines. Years later, Kyle decided to relocate to Presque Isle to be closer to his family and raise his 2 daughters in a safe, small-town community.
While living in Phoenix, AZ, Kyle attended Mesa Community College, where he achieved his associate's degree in digital imaging and graphic design. These skills would prove useful when, in 2013, Kyle joined Lakeshore Realty and began overseeing the company's photography, web design, and advertising. In 2015, Kyle received his real estate salesperson's license and began working as a sales agent for Lakeshore Realty.
In 2017, Kyle received his commercial pilot's license for small unmanned aircraft systems and began taking aerial photographs for Lakeshore's clientele. In 2019, Kyle received his real estate broker's license and is now overseeing all real estate transactions for Lakeshore Realty.
Kyle prides himself on his technical savvy, creative negotiating skills, and his determination to go the extra mile for his clients in order to get the job done. He is committed to providing quality information and advice as he guides his clients through each transaction.

Karen Fournier, Agent, Lakeshore Realty
Karen Fournier grew up in Alpena, enjoying the miles of lakeshore and woods this area has to offer. She left the area to pursue college at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Davenport School of Business.
Karen began her career in retail management with K-Mart Corporation as assistant store manager for 13 years. Her career took her to southern Michigan and northern and southern areas of Indiana. Her responsibilities included hiring staff, managing employees on a daily basis, store appearance, and merchandise display & availability. During her time with Kmart, she also opened two new stores, working with contractors on building completion and hiring and training the full staff.
Karen was able to return to the area to raise her family on Grand Lake. She quickly became involved in the community to help establish a bike path, which led to serving as chair on the Presque Isle Planning Commission and clerk for Presque Isle Township.
Becoming a Realtor was the next step in living her dream: to work in the area she loves. Karen started with Lakeshore Realty in 2005 and has never looked back! Her clients have a great advantage with 12 years of real estate experience and success. The knowledge that she brings to the table and the contacts she has developed over the years give her clients a clear advantage that produces results. Twelve years of experience has given Karren extensive knowledge of local neighborhoods, community offerings, market conditions, property values, and working relationships with professionals in the areas of finance, real estate law, title search, home inspection, and appraisal. She earns the respect of her clients by being available through the entire process and beyond. Your satisfaction is Karen's priority.
In 2016, Karen was ranked #1 in sales among all real estate agents in Presque Isle County.

Kathy Cole Eades, Agent, Lakeshore Realty
After earning her degree in Concrete Technology from Alpena Community College, Kathy relocated to Virginia with her family, where she began her career in the concrete industry. Through hard work and dedication, she advanced to Vice President of Production for one of the nation's leading manufacturers of masonry products. That experience provided her with a strong foundation in construction, quality, and customer service that continues to benefit her clients today.
In 2000, Kathy returned to Northern Michigan to help with family needs before moving back to the East Coast in 2004. She began her real estate career in 2005, where she quickly discovered her passion for helping clients navigate one of life's biggest investments. Drawing on her construction background, Kathy naturally found her niche in new construction. She enjoys helping clients envision the possibilities for their new home, collaborating with builders to transform ideas into thoughtfully designed living spaces that reflect each family's unique lifestyle and needs.
What Kathy enjoys most is helping people create a home that truly reflects the way they want to live. Every family is unique, and she believes their home should be, too. She loves hearing her clients' ideas and discovering what "home" means to them. Working alongside her builders, Kathy helps transform those dreams, ideas, and inspirations into reality, creating homes that are as unique as the families who will live in them.
Today, Kathy is excited to bring more than 20 years of real estate experience back to Northern Michigan as part of the Lakeshore Realty team. Whether clients are buying their first home, building their forever home, purchasing a vacation property, or selling their current home, Kathy is committed to providing knowledgeable guidance, honest communication, and personalized service every step of the way. She looks forward to welcoming them home to Northern Michigan.Â
