Far as Rattlesnake goes, I don't think being on the broads side is anything I would be adventurous enough to go after. The fact it can get extremely rough is a drawback I'm well aware of, but also because most places on that side are cliff dwellings with pretty elaborate stairs to get to the camp. I realize that the logistics of having island property is challenging enough, location and property layout play a big part in any decision I would make there. So my interest in Rattlesnake is somewhat limited but it's good to know how things work in the even something pops up there I may seriously consider.
JRC, I know the drill on real estate agents, way I work is simple if I find something I like I contact the listing agent directly and go from there. With the internet and direct access to the MLS on line the only reason to use a buyers agent is if you don't want to do the leg work, don't live nearby or think you might get a crack at something before it hits the MLS. My observation still stands though a couple listing agents I've communicated with have not been overly helpful in giving up the information on property that THEY REPRESENT. That does a disservice to their clients IMHO, has nothing to do with me expecting a significant amount of help from them. Maybe they don't take my inquiry seriously. Don't know never been in their shoes so it's hard to tell what they deal with on a day to day basis.
Oh well it's all good, hopefully I'll find something, but until then I have my portable waterfront (boat) to tie me over.
