About Our Businesses
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 three 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),  Mrs. Robin Burmeister
(Salesperson and President) and Mr. William Day (Salesperson and Vice President).  Mrs. Burmeister has a natural  talent for judging
the characteristics of properties. As a legal secretary, she has been responsible for hundreds of property transactions and mortgages
over two decades. Mr. Day is a retired President of National City 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

The Kennedy Law Firm was established in 1978 by Michael Kennedy.  Upon graduating from Wayne State University Law School in
1974, Mr. Kennedy first practiced law as a United States Judge Advocate in federal courts, and worked on Environmental Protection
Agency issues. Thereafter, he returned to his northern Michigan home town of Petoskey to begin his private practice as a Michigan
attorney.

The Kennedy Law Firm emphasizes the practice of all probate, estate and real estate law.  On matters, for example, of condominium
law, land development, and the buying and selling of property, Michael Kennedy has been an expert witness, 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 Committee of
the State Bar of Michigan and the Northern Michigan Estate Planning Council.

Mr. Kennedy's involvement in the Petoskey community include being:  Past President of the Emmet-Charlevoix Bar Association,  
Past President of the Emmet County Red Cross,  Past Chairman of the Emmet County United Way,  Past Community Advisory Board
Member to the Petoskey Salvation Army; and  a member of the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce. Of course, Mr. Kennedy is
familiar with, and has acquired valuable insights into, Northern Michigan's properties and the people around which he grew up and
now works.
