friends and family. Beginning with MC2000 in 2000, with a switch to RE/MAX in 2012, in the year 2016 she formed Lake &<br />

known as Century 21 Lake & Land Myers Realty, a leading real estate brokerage throughout central Florida. The LP office is<br />
located at 124 East Interlake Boulevard in beauful downtown Lake Placid.<br />
With a tagline “Minnesota Nice”, Jean has consistently been a mul-million-dollar producer, a proud fan of Lake Placid kids<br />
sporng events, founding member of the Heartland LakeSharks Parrothead Club, Member of the Board of Directors of the<br />
