Tour Waterfront Homes by Boat!

Buying a Waterfront Home Requires Specialized Skills and Knowledge. 

Make Sure Your Realtor is a Lake Travis Expert. 


To figure out if you're working with a Lake Travis Expert, ask yourself (and your Realtor) these questions...

1. Can we tour waterfront homes by boat, as well as by land?
If the answer to this one is "No", you're with the wrong agent.
Seriously.

2. Where's the closest ... [you name it] ...marina, boat dealer, public boat ramp, floating restaurant, party cove, wakeboarding spot, dive shop, etc? (not just driving directions, but what lake mile marker is it closest to, for boating reference?) Which locations are best -in terms of boating distance- to the things that matter the most to you?

3. What new waterfront developments are slated to break ground in the near future?

4. I've heard that the water level on Lake Travis fluctuates. What's the usual "full" level of the lake? How low does it get in a typical summer? Tell me about the 100-year floodplain- do you know that the offiical floodplain level is changing? What does that mean in terms of flood insurance?

5. Will this property go dry? Has it gone dry in the past (if so, how many times and for how long)?

6. Can you provide me with a historical chart of month-by-month lake levels for the past 60 years?

7. Can we check a property's waterfrontage with your boat's depth finder to independently assess the water depth in front of the home?

8. What's the current market value for this waterfront home or land? How quickly has the value of this particular area appreciated in the past couple of years? (Ask for a ballpark figure - your agent shouldn't have to research the MLS for a day to know these answers!)

9. Which boat-up restaurant has the ... [you fill in the blank] ... best food, strongest drinks, younger crowd, older crowd, best live music, year-round access, best Sunday brunch, largest wine selection, rowdiest parties, easiest/flattest access from the boat (for older knees), fireworks celebrations on major holidays, fat catfish for the kiddos to feed ...?
Only someone who really lives and breathes the Lake Travis lifestyle can answer your LIFESTYLE questions. And aren't you buying on Lake Travis specifically for that lifestyle?

10. Do you recommend this property? You do NOT want a "yes man" for this most important real estate transaction. You do not want an agent more concerned about making a sale than about protecting your interests. ALL properties have pros and cons. Cons on the lake often include floodplain issues, remote boat access, inability to have a private boat dock, and shallow areas that frequently dry up. I will tell you if a property is a dog - or at least the TRUE value of a property, given any negative aspects.

With me, rest assured we will do all of the things listed above, and I can answer all of your questions. I routinely do these things - every day, with clients just like you!

Call me and we'll meet at "The Office", my 43-foot yacht, and I'll introduce you to the Lake Travis lifestyle!


In the meantime, sign up for my V.I.P. Buyer Service and receive your own, personal website to track waterfront listings!

With this service, I'll set you up with a personalized, custom website where you can keep track of the currently available lakefront homes. You'll receive an email notification whenever a new property hits the market (or an existing listing is reduced in price). 

With your personal website, you can categorize homes as favorites, possibilities, and rejects, and add comments to any property. Email me anything that catches your eye, and I'll give you my personal opinion on the pros and cons of any particular home or lot.

When a property goes under contract, it will be automatically removed from your website. So, you'll always be on top of things, with up-to-the-minute knowledge of what's available and you'll have first dibs on the perfect one when it comes around!

To get your own website, email me (or fill out the form below) with your specific search criteria - price range, preferred location(s), land vs. home, waterfront versus lake view, square footage requirements, etc. - the more details, the better!


I have earned the ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATIVE (ABR) designation by the National Association of Realtors, viewed as the benchmark of excellence in representing buyers' interests. Remember that when you are looking at properties, the listing agent (the Realtor whose sign is in the yard) represents the SELLER. You need professional representation from your own Realtor to ensure you get the best possible deal and that your interests are protected in the legal transaction.


Ask me any question about buying a home on Lake Travis, including the communities of Lakeway, Lago Vista, Point Venture, Jonestown, Volente, Briarcliff and Spicewood. It's my job to help you! There's no obligation, and I promise to respond quickly...

Real Estate Tips
Titles >Liens Against the Title

Occasionally homeowners who are trying to sell their home are surprised to learn that their title is encumbered by a lien. There are several types of liens; the most common are mechanic's or contractor's liens.

The lien (or debt) must be paid off in order to be cleared. If the owner prefers to challenge the lien, he can release it by posting a bond, pending adjudication. In some types of liens, a title search may disclose claims against the property by an ex-spouse or long-ago heir of a former owner. A simple "quitclaim" deed may be used in these cases. By signing the deed, the person involved signs over whatever rights he or she might have, without laying any claim to the property.

Most real estate transactions involve at least some minor unresolved issues on the part of either the buyer or the seller. This is where an experienced real estate agent can provide solutions to resolve the issues and conclude the sale.
