Seminar FAQs

What made you start a Lakefront Buyers Seminar?

We receive numerous calls each year from Buyers looking for their “dream” lake home and almost everyone has the same questions. What are the differences in Ohio lakes, how do they figure out which lake is right for me, differences in price of homes for certain areas of lakes? Many involve the understanding of lake rights vs. lake access, weed control, lake associations, septic systems, buying in the winter, boating restrictions, flood insurance, etc. These are not issues at all if Buyers know the right questions to ask up front. This is why the seminar was created!

1. We are adamant about making this an educational seminar and sending you home with valuable materials!
2. Don’t make a mistake on a lake…learn key information every Lake Home buyer NEEDS to know, including our in depth 37-point checklist.

What do past attendees say about the seminar?

“We can’t believe how much we learned in your seminar. There are 8 or 9 items that never even occurred to us before. We especially like the ‘Buying waterfront in the winter’ topic!”

~S. Walsh

“Before coming to your seminar, I thought all lakes were the same. Now I know the right questions to ask when checking out the lakes in my area. Thanks for all your help.”

~T. Murphy

“We plan to build our dream lakefront home next year. The information your speakers had on lake home designs, waterfront zoning regulations and conservation committees will certainly come in handy.”

~J. Reilly

“We happen to be considering an offer on a lakefront home in Sturbridge. So glad we came here first. The ‘contract essentials’ worksheet will be a huge help and keep us from making some major mistakes.
