OT: Reco for Real Estate Agent for Hartwell?

[vacock#]

I'm looking at lakefront property in Anderson and Townville parts of Lake Hartwell (nearest to Greenville). Any recommendations (good or bad) for real estate agents in this area? How about the properties in the area? I saw some that looked like the lake went dry the year that Google satellite pictures were taken so I'm trying to get "deep" water locations without a lot of docks crowded into one area. We live across the street from a lake inside the DC beltway in VA but only boats with limited size electric motors are allowed so we are not used to a lot of power boat noise (how bad can it be?). Thanks!

Power boat NOISE? You've been gone from here too long! On weekends and holidays 'Bubba's' gonna open his power boat all the way - they'll hear it in downtown Atlanta!

Just kidding - the one-time I visited Lake Hartwell @ Townville, it was very peaceful and quiet.

Alicia Hack is an excellent agent in that area and also lives on the lake. She would be a great help, her number is (864) 221-0200. Please tell her Chris Hodge sent you her way. Good luck, it is a beautiful area.

Vacock, just remember that Hartwell Lake is notorious for low water levels during dry seasons and it seems like folks in Anderson are always complaining that Corps of Engineers is letting too much water through the dam, giving more priority to the lower Savannah River area than the upper. There are dock owners who don't "go dry" during the lowest times, but even they have to "chase" the water a long way from the mean high water mark by moving their docks out. That's always a hassle. But it is what it is - the fickle water levels don't prevent lots from selling for a couple hundred thousand dollars or more.

There's always a trade-off with lots on Hartwell. A deep-water lot, meaning that your dock stays floating when others go dry, is usually a steep lot. A steep lot has its own access problems, but it also means that it's harder to "chase" the water when water levels eventually do drop too low for your dock.

I live on hart well on 6and 20 creek. Where you are looking is 20 miles or so further from Greenville than you need to be. But it's a pretty area.

Thanks Heyward1

I contacted her and gave your name and was very happy to get the reference. She will be on vacation next week so I'll be shown the houses by Craig Chappellear.

For the others, thanks for the advice about the lake and sorry I can't use all the real estate agents mentioned.

Re: Thanks Heyward1

So glad to be able to help. She is a very special lady who I hope you will be able to meet soon. BTW she was my football coach in little league!

Thanks again, you are with some great folks!
