Purchasing a property at Cedar Creek Lake is very different from purchasing property in a metropolitan area. Because there are so many variables to know and consider when purchasing waterfront property, for your protection, you should work with a LOCAL agent who has a proven track record of success in representing buyers here at the lake. I have sold over $411 million in properties and closed over 930 transactions in my 20-year career.
As your buyer's agent, I understand the importance of listening and understanding your criteria, but also asking questions that you may not have considered in purchasing lake property. This information will help you better understand how to prioritize your “wish list” and help me tailor the selection of properties that best meet your needs. The usual websites buyers use to search for properties in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area are of little use here at the lake.
There are over 300 subdivisions around the lake—each with its own unique qualities and some of the best subdivisions not on the “beaten path,” so just driving around by yourself will not only drive you crazy but is not the best use of your time. Just driving around without the direction of a knowledgeable agent means you could possibly miss the homes and areas that best suit your needs and lead you to the mistaken conclusion that the lake does not offer the properties and amenities you are looking for. Purchasing a home is a large investment, and buyers have a right to be “picky.” I am patient with buyers and will work within their time frame—whether it takes a day or a year to find the property that meets your needs. Also, please keep in mind that I can show any listed property at Cedar Creek Lake, Richland Chambers, and Lake Athens, regardless of listing company or agent.
