Every lake has its own personality, and Loon Lake is no exception. When I help someone buy on a lake, we start with how you actually want to spend your days — and then we look hard at the water itself.

On a 10 mph lake like this one, life tends to move at pontoon speed. That's a plus if you picture slow evening cruises, fishing off the dock and paddling, and something to think through if you love skiing.

I'll help you look at shoreline, frontage, the lake bottom near the dock, and how the home works year-round versus as a summer place. And if you're selling on Loon Lake, I'll help you show off what makes your spot on the water special.

I've renovated and flipped homes myself, so when we tour lake properties I'll help you look beyond the finishes to the quality, the potential and what the place could become.
