On the exterior clean the yard and&nbsp; beach area.&nbsp; Tackle any deferred maintenance items prior to the first showing.&nbsp; Owning that wonderful lake home requires a few extra steps in the selling process. &nbsp;If your home operates with a septic system your home will require a NH DES Site Assessment. This assessment is done by a licensed designer and outlines your current system, loading capacities to expansion and replacement opinions.&nbsp; If your home has a dock you should have on file with the state dock permits. You can check online at the DES website or call to see if your dock it correctly registered.&nbsp; If your home has a mooring you need to inform the new buyer that mooring permits are not transferable and they need to reapply.&nbsp; Call me and I can help you get your lake home ready.</p> <p><b>Buying an lake home?</b></p> <p>Same procedures apply as purchasing any home. You will want to have inspections done, deed and boundaries reviewed. Because you are on the water get a copy of the shoreline rules so you are well informed on what you can and can&#39;t do. I would also call&nbsp;the Site Assessor to get a detail explanation of what the site assessment means. &nbsp;Ask Questions?&nbsp; Ask the seller for copies of dock permits or check online to review them. &nbsp;If there is no dock on the property can one be installed and what kind?&nbsp; In showing a lakefront home I get a host of questions,&nbsp; can I expand, put a deck on the home, can I clear the view, can I put sand in the lake. Many of the questions I can answer, for those beyond my scope I can direct you to an expert so your decisions are educated&nbsp; ones. &nbsp;Call Paula Hinckley @ 603-566-6608 or Carl Sack @ 603-566-2386 <strong>For additional information on&nbsp;listing your lake&nbsp;home call Lady of the Lake Realty at 1-888-737-5550 or e-mail at <a href="mailto:info@nhlakesrealty.com">info@nhlakesrealty.com</a></strong> or visit our website to view lake homes in New Hampshire at <a href="http://www.nhlakesrealty.com">www.nhlakesrealty.com</a> or <a href="http://www.lakeorskirealestate.com">www.lakeorskirealestate.com</a>.</p> <p>Contact Paula Hinckley or Carl Sack today. &nbsp;#nhlakesrealty</p>
