Experience specific to the area

You will want to work with a waterfront property specialist who has detailed knowledge to help you find the right home for your budget. With someone who is experienced in the area, you can be assured of the latest and most accurate information about the types of homes and properties available around the lake.

There’s bound to be a perfect listing for you – from a quiet little weekend getaway to a large sprawling home to accommodate your large extended family – the more details you share, the more likely your specialist will be able to find you exactly what you’re looking for.

Can assist with securing the site plans

Your specialist will be able to share all the aspects of the property with you, and will also help you inspect it more closely. Look to your specialist to help you secure a copy of the site plan that shows you the property lines, or in getting a survey done before proceeding with your purchase. Your lot size will determine if you can build a house of your ideal size.

Can verify what you can do with the property

Your specialist will help verify what you can do with the property. If your property is part of a development or subdivision, your specialist can secure a copy of the Restrictive Covenants for your perusal. Also, for any changes you’d like to do on your waterfront property, such as adding a dock, you can ask your specialist to point you towards the proper channels for guidelines and procedures and get the proper permits. With your real estate specialist’s help, you can make a much more informed purchase.

Understands how access to the property can affect pricing

The accessibility of roads leading to the property and your connections to utilities also matter. Find out who is responsible for maintaining the road, more so if you’re located in a remote area. If you’re planning to build, make sure that you’ll have access to electricity, water, sewage and other utilities. Do you have sewage lines or do you still need to obtain permits for a septic system? These questions need to be answered before you offer to buy.

Also, be aware that water levels change throughout the seasons; this can impact on your views and your access to the water. Together, all these can affect your home’s pricing.
