Location.

We hear it all the time … location, location, location.  Because of the landscape and the lake itself, location can make even more of a difference at the Lake of the Ozarks.  What mile marker you live on can have a huge impact on how busy the lake will be, or if you will be seeing more fishing boats and wake boats versus race boats and cruisers.  Some parts of the lake are more laid back and quiet and other parts are full of action.  Your Favorite Real Estate Team knows the area and can show you houses in areas that are more suited to the way you want to enjoy the lake lifestyle.

Location can also really affect your commuting time, especially if you work or shop on the other side of the lake from where you live. Sometimes getting to a location that is only a few miles away can be 20 miles by road because of the lay of the land.  So, google the distance of your regular commutes to make sure it is within tolerance for you before you look at a property.

Wish List.

Having a list of what you are looking for can help your real estate professional at the Lake of the Ozarks focus on exactly what you want in a home.  It is best to have that list separated into wants and needs – and even prioritize the needs if you can.  The perfect home in the perfect location at the exact time you wish to buy may not always exist.  But, Your Favorite Real Estate Team can match you with homes that meet your top priorities and even help you think creatively about ways to adapt the home to accommodate your wants as well. 

Team.

When you are looking to find the perfect home, who you have on your team can be key to finding a house that will truly function and feel like home to you.  You want a real estate professional that will put you first and bring the experience of their whole team to work for you.  Your Favorite Real Estate team knows the lake area and is very familiar with everything it has to offer. We strive to help all our clients find the home most suited to them available on the market, and we have the knowledge you need to help you make a fully informed decision.  If you are ready to start looking to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks that is a perfect match for you, call Your Favorite Real Estate Team today to get started!
