Finally closed the deal!

MAXUM · 06-16-2012, 08:44 PM

Well I have to admit last Friday my wife and I finally signed off on our (new to us) camp. It has been a long journey to get this far, a wee bit stressful at the end, but well worth it. I can honestly say that nothing could have prepared me for the total and complete feeling of finally owning a little piece of the lake and the ability to in just spending a week here being totally and completely de-stressed. As I suspected nothing beats island living, and best of all that first morning getting up to watch the sun come up while enjoying a fresh cup of coffee at the end of my dock is something, so good in fact every morning I have been here it's been a daily routine! Sunsets are just as spectacular! Awesome!

Now that the deal is all said and done, I have one little piece of business to address. Normally I wouldn't do this in a public forum, but this is so well deserved, I'd like to thank my buyer's agent Nancy Deporter and the entire team at Spencer Hughes in Alton. Nancy was a pleasure to work with and I think was as excited for me to purchase this property as I was. She is so passionate about her work and loves the lake, especially helping folks like myself who are on a quest to get a piece of island property as this is her specialty. Her professionalism and attention to details really made this purchase come through - I cannot thank her enough.

Congratulations! Now you have a stake in her. Enjoy every second and be judicious with your stewardship.

Are you posting from the island?! He who said no to electronics at the lake.

Congratulations Maxum! I wish you and your family many, many happy years there on Bear.

Hi Maxum,

Thank you for your kind words. I truly do enjoy selling island real estate and selling it to someone who appreciates it as much as me made it easy!
Sorry I missed the first cup of coffee but I will be there at some point to enjoy one... it truly is the best time of the day on the island before the Lake wakes up. Plus I have to check out the adirondack chairs to win our competition!

Congratulations. What island did you wind up on?

MAXUM · 06-17-2012, 08:44 PM

I can say that after spending an extended week there, meeting my neighbors - all great folks so far it has been quite an experience so far. If there ever was a description of priceless, this is it.

Nancy-

You're very welcome! Yeah you gotta get going on your chair, my Dad is already probably working on #2 since he took about 50 pictures of the other chairs since he wasn't quite happy with the comfort of the original plans, as an FYI put more radius on the rear slats and give them a bit of a taper. To funny! Still what he did make is really nice.

Rattlesnake Gal -

Yeah I'm busted that was posted from the comfort of my camp, but I will say it stayed off the entire week I was there and I just needed to see if it was possible to get into work remotely to see if 'working from camp' was a possibility.

So to round this out, why not share a little bit more, sunrise and sunset.

Welcome to the Island...

Welcome to the island. What number are you. From the picture it looks as though you are down around Nokomis on East Bear? We are at 426 across from Sheps.
