In 1966, Jack came to Detroit Lakes in Minnesota and began his career as a professional in real estate sales. He started working for Calhoun Realty out of Minneapolis on April 1, 1966 and worked the tristate area as a commercial sales agent for the following 1 ½ decades. He has sold small and larger businesses, e.g. hotels, newspapers, gas stations and shopping centers and more.

Jack then found his nitch as a „Lake Expert“ in the greater area around Detroit Lakes. On June 2, 1980 he founded his own brokerage named Jack Chivers Realty, offering both residential and commercial real estate services.

To this day, Jack is the most experienced and most successful real estate professional in possibly the whole tri-state area. His name has become an icon for recreational real property sales and is known far beyond local borders. On top of that, he is one of very few in the nation celebrating more than 50 years of industry experience and still actively selling.

Today, we have the honor to congratulate him on his anniversary and are proud to share he has no
intentions of retirement any time soon and continues to be active as a Broker Associate and mentor to our sales team.
