Make a Needs & Wishes List


Before you start looking up dream homes, it's important to know what exactly you are looking for. Do you need five bedrooms, or will a two-bedroom work for you? Is a large yard a non-negotiable to make your four-legged family members happy? Is hardwood flooring a plus or too much maintenance? These are the kinds of questions that you will want to ask yourself before getting started on the search for a home at the Lake of the Ozarks. 

Map Your Commute


The Lake of the Ozarks covers a very large area, and sometimes people may not realize just how long it takes to get from one side to the other when looking at a map. For example, if you live on the west side of the Lake but work on the east side, it could take you an hour to get to work depending on traffic and the route you choose. If you are only willing to commute a certain distance, it may be a good idea to mark out the radius from work wherein you are willing to search. This is an important piece of information to share with your realtor!
