Lakefront Living Realty Releases “Buyer Success Guide” for Waterfront Home Buyers

For many home buyers, the chance to own a home on a lake is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To help educate lake home buyers so they can make that big decision an educated and informed one, Lakefront Living International, LLC, a real estate franchise company that specializes in properties that are directly on lakes, created a Buyer Success Guide focused not only on just the home, but the lake itself as well as the lakefront lifestyle.

 

Our main goal of the Success Guide is to keep buyers from making a mistake on a lake. Over the years, we have learned that purchasing a lakefront home is different than any other real estate, said Scott Freerksen, aka The Lake Guy and owner of Lakefront Living Realty, a Broker that represents both buyers and sellers of lakefront properties. This Success Guide provides the vital knowledge needed to ask all the right questions, at the right time.

 

 

Unlike most homes, lakefront property has its own set of criteria that buyers need to be aware of. Lakefront buyers need to realize that they are not just buying a home, they are buying a lake, said Freerksen. We receive weekly calls from lakefront buyers describing a number of issues that could cause problems with their property purchase.

 

Freerksen and his team, who focus on New England lakefront property, pulled from their 15 years experience selling waterfront homes and created the guide as a checklist for lakefront property buyers. Answering yes to any one of the questions is a red flag that needs to be addressed prior to making an offer on the home. For example, there is an entire page dedicated to Flood Insurance, says Freerksen. Just because the previous owner did not have flood insurance, it is not an indication of future requirements. FEMA is constantly changing their maps and this could mean an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per year for the new homeowner.

 

The guide, which is FREE to any lakefront buyer, covers topics such as:
