Five Years At The Lake!

Of all days, on April Fools Day 2003 Teresa, Riley, (the basset hound) and myself loaded a 28 foot UHAUL with everything we owned ‘til we couldn’t pack anymore. We headed to what we hoped was the “Land of Milk and Honey”. What we found was a great place to live, work, and enjoy life to the fullest. The last five years have flown by but here is kind of a summary of how they went. Our original reason for moving to the Lake was Lee Mace’s Ozark Opry. The Opry was a great place to work and I worked there for two seasons. During that time I also sold advertising. Musically we found out we were in a “Hot-Bed” of musicians and that blossomed into many things for us. In the last five years we have played at several steel guitar shows and Western Swing shows around the country. We have met so many great people through this and wouldn’t trade our travels for the world. In 2005 we went from being the parents of two kids to being grandparents of two grandkids. Teresa and I have always been interested in Real Estate and what better place to learn the business than here. In September of 2003, Teresa took the first step and went to work for John Farrell Real Estate Co. as their listing coordinator. This was an excellent way to learn the business from the inside out. In 2004 I followed and became a REALTOR at John Farrell Real Estate Co. So that brings us up to the present. Thank you so much for being a part of our last five years and we look forward to many more years with our friends and family at our home, The Lake of the Ozarks. Awe yes… we did find the “Land of Milk and Honey.”

Real Estate Still Strong at The Lake!

Seems like where ever we go, the first question we are asked is “How bad is the Real Estate Business at the Lake?” Real Estate at the Lake is not bad by any means. The media focuses on the nation as a whole and we are not like most of the nation. If you are looking for investment real estate, the lake has good opportunities for you. Looking for a second home or condo? Well of course the lake is a good long term investment that you can enjoy as well. What ever level of real estate you are thinking of, the key is to be smart with your money and only do what you can afford. Some may say it’s a buyers market. We think it is a strong market for buyers ad sellers. To coin one of the latest commercials on TV, “You gotta have a plan!” That’s the key to it! Real estate is a good solid investment and if we can help you please let us know.

Why is Lake of the Ozarks a Great Investment?

What makes The Lake of the Ozarks such great investment is accessability. We are one of the few lakes in the midwest where you are allowed to build close to the water. You can build very close to the water which makes for a short convenient walk to a boat dock and off to lots of water fun! Waterfront property at Lake of the Ozarks is an excellent investment long term or short. This is also a excellent place to raise a family. Both of our school systems are some of the top schools in the state of Missouri. On or off the water Lake of the Ozarks is a community covering three counties and offering opportunity for everyone! I will be honored to help you with all of your Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate needs.
