Bonnie Byrnes, Broker/Owner

A resident of Presque Isle for over twenty years, my specialized background and aggressive marketing will contribute to a faster, more profitable sale of your home.  For buyers, my lifelong knowledge of the area and responsive personality assist you in making the best real estate investment possible.

After graduating with a B.A. in English from Clarke College, I spent several years in the Chicago area working in publishing and public relations. In 2000 I returned home to Northern Wisconsin, joining my mother Peggy at Headwaters Real Estate and becoming a consistent top producer. 
I became broker/owner of Headwaters Real Estate in May of 2007 when Mom decide to retire from ownership and I bought the business.  I reside in Presque Isle with my family, enjoying fishing, hiking, boating and simply living among the splendor nature has saved for "Wisconsin's Last Wilderness."

I have covered every inch of the terrain and know almost everyone in the area. My three children were raised here and are now raising their children in "Wisconsin's Last Wilderness." I think I qualify as a "native" and certainly am thought of as an "oldtimer!?" Let me put my knowledge of the area and what is has to offer to work for you.

Beth Meyer, Broker Associate

Customer satisfaction is vital in the real estate business.  Whether buying or selling, people are looking for a smooth transaction – the best price with the least amount of hassle.  I am committed to help you achieve that goal.  Let me put my extensive customer service background and diligent dedication to work for you. 

 Formerly the secretary at Headwaters since 1994, I decided to pursue a full-time career in Real Estate Sales. My husband and I moved to the area 10 years ago, choosing to raise our two young daughters in the beautiful Northwoods.  It was the best move we made.   The girls have since grown – one is in high school, the other is away at college.  My “retired” husband, Howie, is now a full time fishing guide and has shared his knowledge of the area lakes with me. 

 I thoroughly enjoy working with people and am sensitive to the needs of each individual.  When choosing an agent to work with, it is important to find someone you can trust and who looks out for your personal needs.  If service, dedication and professionalism are what you’re looking for, give me a call.

Barb Peck, Sales Associate


The beautiful north woods of Wisconsin had been a vacation destination for my family for many years. Nineteen years ago, we made the best move of our lives when we bought a resort on Presque Isle Lake. My husband and I thought this would be a great area to raise our two boys, and we were right. During this time, I taught at North Lakeland Elementary School, retiring in June 2006 after thirty-plus years of teaching.

Teaching provided me valuable experience with being responsive to the needs of students, parents, other educational professionals and school boards. Meeting others’ real estate needs seemed like a perfect next step. By calling or emailing me, you can be assured your buying or selling needs will be given the utmost care and attention.
