We Love Lake Life, The Chivers
We are a group of local realtors who dedicate their passion and knowledge to one thing: Lakes Country. When Jack Chivers came to Detroit Lakes in 1966, he fell in love with the beauty of this area and never left again. We believe that living at the lake is more than just establishing a homestead. This gift from nature drives us to share our passion with our clients. Get connected with the outdoors in your every day life. Get out and explore! Lake life is a lifestyle which we love. It’s a lifestyle we know and like to share. We love lake life and we know a place for you,
The Chivers
Growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, Jack wanted to see the world. After joining the Navy, serving his country and sailing all seven seas, his path led him to Minnesota, where he immediately became enamored with Lake Life.
Detroit Lakes became his home and Jack began working as a full-time real estate agent on April 1st, 1966. His career started at Calhoun Realty, based in Minneapolis, where he worked for the following 13 years selling commercial properties and found his residential niche as a lakes expert for many of his clients. Jack always shared his passion about Detroit Lakes and Lakes Country, saying: Don't just visit... live it! On June 2, 1980, Jack founded his own agency Jack Chivers Realty in Detroit Lakes.
Today, the agency has become an icon for recreational real estate property and is known far beyond local borders, with locations in Fargo, Perham, Detroit Lakes, and Vergas. Jack has retired from our agency in 2018 and we are proud to continue connecting our clients with the beauty of this area.
