Janet on the lakes
Shoreline on Pearl Lake ranges from sand and gravel to reeds and cattails. The type of frontage changes both the price and what a dock can do.
The buying a lake home guide covers docks, septic, shoreland rules and financing in more detail.
We were in the market for a cabin and met Janet, with our first visit to a cabin we were interested in. Janet worked tirelessly to help us find a place that met our requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable of lakes, homes and their backgrounds. I would recommend Janet for any real estate needs.
