Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce (STC) is proud to announce that long-standing member Grover Real Estate has officially expanded with the opening of a new office in Newberry, Michigan. This expansion reflects the company’s deep roots in the Upper Peninsula and commitment to serving communities across the region with integrity, innovation, and experience.
Founded by Marie and Marvin Grover in the late 1960s and established in Manistique in the 1970s, Grover Real Estate has grown to become a respected name in the U.P. real estate market. When David Muxlow purchased the business in 2001—after entering the real estate industry in 1994—he preserved the Grover name in honor of the reputation and values it stood for.
“Our clients’ interests always come first,” said David Muxlow. “That’s the foundation of everything we do, and we’re excited to bring that same dedication to the Newberry area.”
The new office, located in the beautifully renovated Old Newberry State Bank Building at 320 Newberry Avenue, Suite A, officially opened its doors on May 1st. A grand opening celebration will take place on Friday, June 20, from 1 to 2 p.m. All are invited to join the celebration.
Grover Real Estate’s decision to open in Newberry was driven by longstanding business in Luce County and a desire to serve clients locally. The office will be staffed by Kristine McCraren, a licensed broker and appraiser, and her son Joshua Gielecki, a recent college graduate. The team will offer a full range of services including listings, buyer representation, property evaluations, marketing, and closing support—mirroring the offerings of the Manistique location.
“Newberry is a natural fit for our growth strategy,” added Susie Muxlow. “We believe in collaboration among our agents and are already seeing the benefits of cross-office referrals and shared expertise.”
Grover Real Estate brings over 150 years of combined real estate experience to its clients. The team is known for its hardworking approach, use of up-to-date technology, aggressive marketing, and commitment to community involvement.
Victoria George, Executive Director of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce, praised the expansion.
“We are thrilled to see Grover Real Estate grow into the Newberry market. Their dedication to both their clients and the region embodies exactly the kind of leadership and entrepreneurial spirit that uplifts our U.P. communities.”
As the Newberry office gains momentum, Grover Real Estate plans to continue expanding its agent base and community involvement. The company sees strong growth potential in the region and remains committed to helping people develop, buy, and sell property throughout the Upper Peninsula.
