We’re making waves in waterfront real estate
As real estate experts and waterfront lovers ourselves, we take the special needs of these properties seriously, whether you’ve already attained your waterfront goals andvare preparing to sell, or you’re still striving to find your lakeside oasis.
Buying a waterfront home
For lakeside living, the first thing you need is the right body of water. The Eastside is dotted with lakes that all have their own tight-knit communities, recreational amenities and home styles.
When choosing the area you’d like to call home, be sure to consider your recreational needs. Will you need a boat launch or dock? Would you prefer a private lake? Based on your specific needs, we’ll work together to identify waterfront properties in your desired community with the amenities you prefer.
When you find a property you like, we’ll visit during an open house. At that time, we’ll work with you to see if the property matches your lifestyle needs such as the dock size, watercraft requirements and community rules.

Keep entry points clean of sand, dirt and other debris. Consider buying rugs or mats for high-traffic areas.
Check for mold and mildew, and quickly address any leaks.
