Founded in 1979 by Jerry Stephens with a commitment to provide exceptional client care, Stephens Real Estate has been a cornerstone of the Upper Michigan and Northeast Wisconsin real estate market. Sally Blom and Maddy Tousignant became co-owners in 1983, and throughout the years, we partnered with esteemed franchises like Better Homes and Gardens™ and GMAC Real Estate™. In 2009, we returned to our roots as an independent brokerage, reaffirming our dedication to personalized service. Ryan Gordon became sole owner in 2019, and in 2024, we expanded our reach with the acquisition of Wild Rivers Realty, adding offices in Iron River and Florence. Today, our team of dedicated, full-time Realtors proudly carries on the Stephens tradition of providing top-notch service throughout the region.
Stephens Real Estate is proud to have been ranked the area’s Top-Producing Company for the past 16 years (2009–2024) by the Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors. We were named ‘Best Place to Work’ in 2023 and ‘Small Business of the Year’ in 2021 by Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, we were voted ‘Best Real Estate Company in the U.P.’ for 2021 and 2022 by readers of Upper Peninsula Business Today.
