FAQ Tag: sell my lake home

How do I get my lake property to appear on LakeHomes.com?

The best way to have your lake property that is for sale to appear on LakeHomes.com is to list this property with a Lake Homes Realty agent.

This is also the only way for a home, lot, and land to appear as a “Featured” property on the website.

Should we not have an agent in your area or you wish to use another agent, if your property is properly listed in a participating Multiple Listing Service it should still appear automatically in our online lists. It is required that the property be appropriately identified in the MLS as lake-related real estate (i.e., lakefront, lake view, lake access, lake community, or similar).
