Questions to Ask Your Realtor Before You Buy at the Lake

So, you have decided to buy at Lake Gaston. Let me start by saying, you have made an awesome decision! Before you choose a realtor, here are a few things you need to know about Lake Gaston and some tips for choosing the right person for you.

About Lake Gaston

Lake Gaston is a unique home market that stretches through five counties and two states. There is a lot to learn about this 24-mile long lake that has over 350 miles of shoreline.

A few things to think about…

• Do you want to be closer to I-95 or I-85?
• Do you want to be in a subdivision or in a more secluded location?
• Do you want to be on the main lake or in a creek?
• Are you looking for a full-time home or a weekend retreat?
• Do you have a boat or plan on purchasing a boat?

High water marks and Dominion Power’s property line are very important. Your realtor should be able to help you with things like dock dimensions, permit transfers, septic rules, county setbacks from the high water marks, vegetation/shoreline management, pier Inspections, water depth, and more.
