Boaters beware.  During the most recent lake lowering on Lake LBJ we brought out our photographer to shoot the shallow spots and known sand bars on the lake so that we could better educate our customers on the importance of boater safety. Please think twice before allowing inexperienced drivers to go out on boats and waverunners alone.  Below are a few pictures from our shoot. Reach out if we can be of assistance with anything related to Lake LBJ real estate

Best of Lake LBJ – 3210 Packsaddle

Posted by on 12-12-19 in Blue Lake Real Estate, Horseshoe Bay, Horseshoe Bay Real Estate, Lake LBJ Real Estate | Comments Off on Best of Lake LBJ – 3210 Packsaddle

One of my favorite deals of 2019 was selling 3210 Packsaddle in Blue Lake Estates. This open water Peninsula on the Sandy Arm offers over 300 feet of gorgeous Lake LBJ frontage.  The property had a small cabin, just under 1800 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that had been recently renovated.  This incredible package deal offered great value due it’s move-in ready ability but also a prime lot that could easily be demoed to make room for a larger home.  Blue Lake is arguably the best neighborhood on Lake LBJ so opportunities like this don’t present themselves often. In fact, this one had been owned by the same owner for 27 years. Without a doubt this choice spot has a spot on the Best of Lake LBJ list.

When you are looking for the perfect property on Lake LBJ make sure you are seeing all the inventory.  These prime opportunities often don’t ever hit the market.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 to discuss your dream home on Lake LBJ.

We Don’t Fake It – REAL Photography

Posted by on 11-11-19 in Lake LBJ Real Estate, Sunrise Beach | Comments Off on We Don’t Fake It – REAL Photography

Many real estate agents hire real estate photpgraphers to take photos of their properties and due to scheduling conflicts and time constraints some  will shoot the photos in the middle of the day or whatever hour they have available and then add in a “twilight effect” with photoshop to add drama. When purchasing Lake LBJ Real estate it is important to understand where the sun rises and sets and how it effects the property.  For this reason we feel its important to get up early or stay out late in order to both experience and shoot these prime moments at a property so we become more familiar.  When we take a listing we want to experience and feel the property to really understand its value enabling us to better sell it.  This also helps us value other properties we see based on these important qualifications.

Marketing Lake LBJ Real Estate takes commitment and passion to uncover the hidden value.  Whether you are buying or selling Lake LBJ Real Estate hire a trusted professional that knows the lake, understands the market and will work harder then anyone to help you accomplish your goals.  Give me a call today at (512) 786-1515 and allow me the opportunity to share how I feel I can add value to your Lake LBJ Real Estate transaction.  I look forward to hearing from you.
