How we can serve you
I love waterfront properties!
That might be one of the reasons why we consistently sell more lakefront homes to more waterfront buyers each year than most other agents will sell over the course of their entire careers.
My family spend most of their free time on or near the water, and I both feel extremely blessed to be able to share our passion for the water with other people who share our passion for the waterfront lifestyle. Working with waterfront buyers entails unique and interesting properties. I tend to mesh well with folks who share that passion for the water.
I hope you will explore our lakefront real estate site a bit. We have waterfront property searches set up for the many different lakefront regions and chains of lakes in Orlando, College Park, Odessa / Keystone, Winter Haven / Lakeland, Leesburg, Clermont, Winter Park, Conway, and many other popular areas and lakes. These searches are always current and up to date and a great way to survey the market to get a sense of pricing.
A lot of our waterfront homes end up selling off market and before they ever reach the MLS. Whether you are already working with an agent or not, feel free to reach out to one of us directly to discuss what might be coming down the pipe. I can also set up an extremely specific online waterfront property search for you. We can usually get a detailed list of properties back to you within an hour or so.
