MANSFIELD, MA…
When Mansfield, MA resident Scott Freerksen walked away from the corporate world a decade ago, he chose to pursue a career that involved his passion, opening a real estate agency specializing in lakefront property. That passion recently morphed into another venture, publishing, with Freerksen recently issuing The Lake Book: Guide to Lakefront Living.
“As a real estate agency, we provide guidance to people in buying and selling lake front real estate. The book is an extension of that,” said Freerksen, who resides and runs his real estate practice on Bungay Lake in Mansfield, three doors down from his boyhood home. “With a still sluggish real estate market, the dream of owning a lakeside home has become more affordable in recent years. The more knowledge buyers and sellers possess, the better the experience can be.”
The Lake Book covers a broad range of areas related to the purchase of lakefront property. Those include:
- Defining Your Lakefront Dreams
- Lakes and Ponds
- Understanding Septic Systems
- Think Green – Strategies & Concepts
- Lake Home Specifics
- Contract Essentials
- Lakefront Boating Choices.
The book is illustrated with photographs and drawings to illuminate key factors, like the difference between a lake and a pond, watershed areas, weed management water levels and more. The book also features a helpful appendix with the top 10 questions to ask when viewing lakefront property.
“The most important thing to remember is the ‘show me’ rule,” said Freerksen. “Any time the homeowner or agent tells you a fact, make them prove it by showing it to you. Most homeowners or selling agents are happy to answer your questions. If they are not, this is a major red flag and you many want to consider how much you want the property.”
