Sunsets from the deck of your own Grand Lake waterfront home just cannot be beat. You could be enjoying sunsets also from your own waterfront home and make lasting memories. A Grand Lake retirement home or a Grand Lake weekend home can make alot of sense in today’s fast paced world. Stop and enjoy God’s great world He has given us. The picture above was taken off my back deck at our Monkey Island home in The Chateaus on  beautiful Grand Lake of The Cherokees.

We have a great new list price on a traditional all brick home in the Grove, OK subdivision of Buffalo Shores North. This home has an end of the cove 40′ waterfront on Grand Lake to enjoy also. The lot is over 2 acres with many mature trees. It is like your own private park, so pretty, private, and you can enjoy birds, deer, squirrels, fox, and other wildlife from the last wood deck that is accessed from the master bedroom, great room, and one guest room or home office.

This home is 4 bedroom with 3 baths, has a fireplace and many bookshelves in the great room with the view of the huge backyard. It has a side entry to a large 2 car garage. The home is of timeless design and in good condition. Present owners have moved for new job and desire a quick sale. They made the mistake many do of pricing too high at $295,000 originally and it has not sold. Price has been reduced over time to $274,000 then $254,000, which is what present owners paid a couple of years ago at the peak of the market. Today it is priced at $239,000, under the market but owners are tired of two house payments since they have bought at their new city. Their loss can be your gain.

Grove is a quaint small city with a brand new Integris Grove Hospital that just opened January 2010. It has many nice civic clubs and churches to enjoy. The people welcome with open arms new residents and will let you get as little or as much involved in clubs and churches as you wish. Grove is an excellent city to raise a family in or as a retirment community to enjoy. Grand Lake offers all water sports, great fishing, and pure enjoyment. You cannot go wrong with a home in Grove, OK on the shores of Grand Lake.

The stats for 2009 are in and once again RE/MAX Grand Lake is the leader in the Grand Lake Market in sales. RE/MAX Grand Lake had 31,010,085 dollars in sales. The next closest office sold 23,511,644 dollars in sales. Average sales per agent were higher at RE/MAX Grand Lake also. The average was 2.4 million per agent with the next closest office average at 1.67 million dollars. Other office averages were 1.45 million, 1.33 million, 1.38 million, 1.05 million, .99 million and .715 million per agent.

When you are thinking of buying or selling why not use the most professional people available. The RE/MAX way of doing business in which agents pay office rent and expenses in return for a larger share of the commission pie brings the truly professional, full time, and most knowledgeable agents to the RE/MAX office.

If you are selling you certainly want the one selling your home to be dedicated to the job and the most professional at what he or she does. You want results. In a slower market we have all faced, it takes the knowledge and professional edge to get your property sold. It is not about who your nephew’s friend selling real estate is or your cousin selling on the side while working at another job fulltime. You want the professional fulltime realtor, a RE/MAX realtor.

If you are buying, you also want someone who devotes his or her working hours fulltime to assist you in finding just the right property to fit your needs and desires. It isn’t throwing darts to find your place, it takes knowledge and hard work to find just the right place.

We hope you will consider all the above when buying or selling in the Grove, OK and Grand Lake area. For twice the fulltime service call the Grand Lake Team at RE/MAX Grand Lake–Aaron Hughes and Joe Neill. Aaron and Joe work with retirees wanting a fulltime lake home, second home buyers wanting a weekend waterfront home, or someone nearing retirement who wants a weekend home on the golf course with a boat slip to be ready in 2-5 years to be a fulltime Grand Laker enjoying the lake and golf lifestyle. Aaron and Joe know the entire lake area, the Grand Lake MLS listings, and know how to find that extra special place for you when buying or how to go the extra miles to get your place sold when that is the goal.

Contact Aaron at 918 801-5645 or aaronhughes@remax.net or for Joe call 918 640-3300 or jneill@remax.net We hope to hear from you soon.
