Looking for a good investment that will give you a great return, and also allow you to enjoy nature? A waterfront property may be the best choice for you. It can be both a beautiful home and a lucrative long-term investment.
Budget for additional maintenance expenses if you’re planning to purchase a waterfront property. Investing in quality materials and hiring professionals can save you money over time. It can be rewarding to own a waterfront property, but you need to take good care of it in order to protect your investment. Your waterfront property can be a source of serenity and joy for many years with a little extra care.
1. Keep an eye on Water Levels. The water level in a waterfront property may fluctuate. This can cause erosion and damage to docks, piers or even the foundation of your house. Keep an eye out for the water level, and adjust your landscaping accordingly.
2. Salt Spray – If you live near the ocean, this can be a problem. It can damage paint and metal fixtures. It can also kill plants. Use rust-resistant materials, and choose salt-tolerant plants.
3. Monitor for Moisture. Waterfront properties tend have more moisture in their air, which can lead mold and mildew to grow. Keep your home well ventilated and watch for signs of water damage.
4. Check for Debris. Waterfront properties are susceptible to debris such as seaweed, driftwood and trash. Keep your property looking great by cleaning regularly.
5. Maintain Your Dock or Pier. If you own a dock or pier make sure that it is regularly inspected for signs of wear. Keep it clean and maintain it well to extend its life.
6. Hire a Professional – If you are unsure of how to maintain your waterfront property, hire a professional. A landscaping or maintenance business can help you maintain your property.
There are many ways to maximize your waterfront property, in addition to maintaining it properly. Enjoy the tranquility of the area by engaging in water sports and spending time outdoors. Waterfront property offers a variety of recreational activities, including kayaking, fishing and relaxing on the beach.
In addition, waterfront properties tend hold their value better than any other type of property. This is due to the fact that waterfront properties are highly sought after and limited in supply. Waterfront properties can appreciate in value, making them an excellent investment.
Waterfront properties tend to be located in small, close-knit towns with lots of opportunities to socialize and meet new people. Engaging in your community not only makes your waterfront experience more enjoyable, but it also opens doors for future business and investment opportunities. A waterfront property can provide you with a sense peace and serenity, while also having a high resale price.
Renting out your waterfront property is an option if you don’t live there full-time. Renting your property allows you to earn extra income and keep the property in use.

The spring is the best time to sell. There are many reasons why spring is a great time to sell, including the better weather, increased sale prices, as well as an increase in buyer demand. These tips will help you make the most out of your time in the market.
Here are five ways to increase your chances of selling land quickly and at a good price this spring.
Replace outdated photos, videos and drone images with newer ones that reflect the current market.
Many sellers list their property in the winter, but then do not update it once spring arrives. This can actually work against you because buyers will assume that your property is on the market since it has gray and snowy photos or videos. If it is clear that your photos were taken during the winter months, you should invest in a new set of images.
April showers can bring mud, weeds and more.
It’s important to have your property ready for showings in the spring. However, what you do will depend on your marketing strategy and how your land will be used. Plan to at least clear access roads to make it easier for agents and potential buyers to get to where they need.
Wet spring weather is not only a problem for muddy land, but can also cause other problems.
Poor soil composition and improper drainage are two of the most common causes for land bogging. Pest problems, foul odors, and difficulty with building and/or planting can also accompany land bogging.
Stop by your property after a heavy rain to check if there is any bogged ground and, if needed, implement a solution. This type of improvement can increase the value of your property and let buyers know that drainage issues have been addressed.
Always price your land to sell. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should undervalue your land, but you must pay attention to what the competition in your area is doing, especially during the spring when the competition is high.
If you are updating an existing listing or if you just want to jump on the market, consider the nuances of the high-inventory markets and price your home accordingly. You’ll have a lower chance of continuing the sales process well into the summer.
The spring is a season of renewal. This applies to marketing strategies as well. The better weather allows you to take more photos and videos that can be used in your marketing. Spring season means more agents and buyers are interested in your listing. You can make both of these factors work for you by increasing your marketing efforts and tapping into new channels to get as many people as possible interested in your property.

I was raised in a very small town .My family owned the only feed store and my dad was a deputy sheriff. We showed and bred Quarter horses, hunted deer and bear. I have one daughter that graduated with honors from OU and is a Naval officer, she was deployed 3 times and she just made Lieutenant Commander for the Navy.
Moved to the Texas Hill Country in 2002, I have been a Texas realtor since 2004, at the time I lived in Harper, Tx just outside of Fredericksburg. We raised Quarter horses and exotics, mouflon sheep and blackbuck antelope. I concentrated my sales on game ranches, equestrian properties, and dream homes. I am excited to be here for the last 2 1/2 years in North Texas and look forward to being a part of the family at Preferred Properties of Texas here in Stephenville.
