Great brokers do more than just sell real estate.  We solve problems, and often times in a moments notice in order to get deals to the finish line.  I was recently hired to a sell a property in Horseshoe Bay and two days before closing we found out that the driveway was poured over the septic drain lines and that LCRA would not approve the septic system without modification. With anxious buyers and sellers ready to close we had to act quickly in order to get this process expedited.

In less than two weeks time I was able to have the system designed, obtain a permit from LCRA and add approx 45 feet of drain line to the system.  We also had to cover the holes created by the work and get the yard landscaped for the new buyers.  For most agents this would be a very difficult task and for me it was not easy, but doable.  Due to my experience serving the Lake LBJ area I was able to tap into my connections and move my client’s needs to the front of the line.  The septic system was completed, approved and today the sod will be laid to finalize the project for closing.

The LCRA requires that a septic inspection be done on all waterfront homes on Lake LBJ at the time of sale. The buyer of Lake LBJ real estate is required to apply for a “continued use permit” for the septic system and in order to get this permit the system must be inspected by the LCRA.

The LCRA charges $150 for the inspection and requires a drawing of the floor plan of the home, as well as a drawing of the septic systems. Based on the number of bedrooms (not bathrooms) they will determine if the system is adequate as well. Often times digging is necessary and they typically require a water load test on the system which has to be done by a third party. The LCRA is also requiring property owners to upgrade their plumbing fixtures to lower use equipment such as toilets and shower heads.

When listing Lake LBJ real estate for sale it is important to be aware of these septic requirements to eliminate any surprises once the home is under contract. Septic repairs or even a new system altogether can be expensive and you want to know this in advance so you can negotiate accordingly.
