About our Real Estate Business
Excellence by Education And Experience
Hampton Properties Ltd. was established in 1992 by Mr. Kennedy as a real estate organization affiliated with The Kennedy Law
Firm. Both Hampton Properties Ltd. and the Kennedy Law Firm are located in Petoskey, Michigan.
Hampton Properties acts as a buyer's broker or a seller's broker of Northern Michigan real estate for The Kennedy Law Firm's
clients as well as for those individuals who are not legal clients but who desire the advantage of brokerage services by a
realty firm that has the backing of a law firm.
Our offerings of both real estate brokerage and legal services from a single source is patterned after Europe's traditions of
'Solicitors' also being 'Estate Agents'. (The office signs of those Old World law firms often advertise themselves today as
"Solicitors, Estate Agents and Notaries" and belong to exclusive services on which only attorneys can advertise their clients'
properties ("Solicitors Property Centres"). Like our European colleagues, The Kennedy Law Firm and Hampton Properties
provide coordinated legal and brokerage advice (...and, yes, notary services, too ). This unique customer care benefits every
property transaction. Everyone is invited to use our services. Everyone is invited to benefit from the following services:
Free Legal Services: When Hampton Properties is a participating broker in a real estate transaction, then The Kennedy Law
Firm provides free customary legal services to Hampton's customer who is involved in the transaction. The representation
starts with the customers' first involvement with a transaction and continues until it is closed. Only realty firms whose brokers
are also lawyers provide that legal talent to a real estate transaction.
Talent Pool: Hampton Properties Ltd. has two specialized realtors, working as a team, serving its customers from throughout
Northern Michigan and around the world. They are: Mr. Michael Kennedy (Broker and Chairman of the Board), and Mr. William
Day (Salesperson and President). Mr. Day is a retired President of PNC Bank in Petoskey and a retired President of Citizens
Bank in Charlevoix. His insight into properties' financial matters is uncommon in the realty business. If you want talent
serving you, then you want Hampton Properties.
Immediate Sales: It is not unusual for Hampton's properties to quietly sell before they can be publicly advertised for
purchase. The broad client base of both The Kennedy Law Firm and Hampton Properties Ltd. often produces private
purchasers for Hampton's properties. Please call Hampton and let us know what type of property that you are looking to
purchase, and we will, in turn, contact you as our customers' properties become available for sale. Hampton's properties can
unexpectedly become available for sale due to its customers' retirements, relocations, family and other life changes.
Therefore, Hampton recommends that you tell us now about your property interests, in order that Hampton can immediately
tell you later about its properties that are entering the market.
Hampton's properties may be located throughout Northern Michigan and elsewhere. For example, properties are often found
in the Northern Michigan resort communities of Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Walloon Lake, Lake Charlevoix, Traverse City, and
Curtis. For information about our customers' real estate that are now publicly available through Hampton Properties Ltd.,
please visit our Property Listings. For National and Area Multiple Listings you may search the most extensive MLS listings

counselor, or speaker to foundations, banks, surveyors' conventions, legislative subcommittees, townships, as well as state
and county departments.
Michael is a member of the Emmet-Charlevoix Bar Association, the State Bar of Michigan, the State Bar of Michigan Probate &
Estate Planning Section, the State Bar of Michigan Real Property Section, as well as past member of the Condominium

and the people around which he grew up and now works.
