Why So Many First Responders Are Choosing Rhode Island 

A Place Full of Character

Rhode Island has a personality all its own.
 
Historic streets, coastal architecture, local restaurants, neighborhood shops, seafood spots, art, and long-standing traditions give communities throughout the state a sense of identity.
Enjoy the Outdoors Without Going Far

Rhode Island offers beaches, walking trails, parks, waterways, golf courses, and scenic areas where you can spend time with family and friends. Summer brings long days by the water, while spring and fall offer comfortable weather for exploring the state's many outdoor spaces.
 
Small State, Big Variety
 
You can enjoy the energy and culture of Providence, settle into a peaceful suburban community, or choose a coastal town where life revolves around the water. Historic villages, rural areas, and established neighborhoods give you plenty of options depending on the lifestyle you're looking for.
A Community That Understands Service

Rhode Island is home to veterans, law enforcement officers, firefighters, healthcare professionals, and other people who have dedicated their careers to helping their communities.

Charlie Younkin

For more than 30 years, I have been actively involved in investing in, renovating, and facilitating the purchase of residential and commercial real estate throughout Michigan and Florida. In addition to my real estate work, I manage From the Badge to the Beach, a referral-based relocation program designed to help individuals identify and transition into ideal retirement and lifestyle destinations.

 

Before entering real estate full time, I served for 28 years as a police officer. That experience instilled in me the importance of integrity, accountability, and trust, principles that continue to guide how I work with clients today. Since retiring in 2022, I have focused exclusively on helping buyers and sellers navigate the real estate process with clarity and confidence.

 

With hands-on experience in both Michigan and Florida markets, I provide clients with valuable insight into regional trends, investment opportunities, and strategic property selection. My approach combines market knowledge with innovative search strategies and creative solutions to ensure each client is presented with options that align with their goals.

 

I live in Livingston County and raised my family in Wayne and Macomb counties, giving me a strong connection to the communities I serve. Beyond real estate, I am deeply committed to supporting the mental health and wellness of first responders, frontline workers, and military personnel through my foundation, Lines of Heroes, which provides resources and support to those who serve our communities and our country.
