Lake Waramaug Luxury Homes, Litchfield County Lake Life

Lake Waramaug Luxury Homes in Connecticut. Lake Waramaug has been a popular getaway since the 1800’s when people began to build homes along the lake. Lake Waramaug is the second largest natural lake in Connecticut. Despite its popularity it has retained its natural beauty. As you wind around the lake you feel as if you are transported to another time. Many of the homes have been renovated, yet they retain their original charm and beauty.

The towns of Washington, Kent and Warren share the lake. The quaint Village of New Preston is an important part of Lake Waramaug. New Preston is actually part of Washington, Connecticut. A wonderful area for those looking for that special quintessential Connecticut luxury second home or full time residence, Lake Waramaug is about a 90 minute drive to Manhattan, and 30 minutes from the Windgale train station.

Are you a golfer? The Lake Waramaug Country Club sits right above the lake, and has dramatic views. The Hopkins Inn and winery are located on the lake, well known to locals and tourists both for the food, the ambiance, the wine and the Inn. The Boulders Inn affords wonderful cuisine with a lake view and beautiful rooms. If you enjoy hiking, a walk up to the Pinnacle will afford amazing views of the lake also. Bikers love to ride around the lake and soak in the scenery.

Are you interested in purchasing a home around Lake Waramaug, there are currently 19 homes for sale, many with direct waterfront and docks, others with sweeping views of the lake, or seasonal views of the lake. They range in price from a very affordable $349,000 to $6,000,000 for an estate on 21 acres. I would be happy to arrange a private showing of any of these amazing homes that might interest you. Give me a call at 203.460.1775, or send me an email, andrea@andreaswiedler.com.

Sellers note, I am working for the buyer on this deal or who does this real estate agent really work for?

Sellers, please note, I am working for the buyers on this deal. Although you ultimately pay my commission, I am still working for the buyers on this deal. I actually have a contract with the buyers and with that a fiduciary responsibility to the buyers. If I worked for you I would have your home listed. I am unaware of the events that led to your decision of a listing agent, however since I am not your listing agent I can’t help you.  If you are not getting what you want, please call the agents broker. If the agent is also the broker, speak with your attorney.

When I am working for a buyer I am protecting their interests. What is my obligation to my client? To help them get the best house possible at the best price possible. Would I put an offer in without being pre-approved? No way, that would not be helping my client to get the best house at the best price possible. Again, please note, I am working for the buyers on this deal. I am protecting their interests to get the best house possible at the best price possible.

When inspections come around it is my job to ask for whatever the client wants to have addressed to be repaired. Some of these items are a must as far as lenders or insurance companies are concerned. Some of these items may even be deal breakers. But it is my job to get the best house possible at the best price possible. I work for the buyers on this deal.

When your agent gets the list of repairs requested, they are just that, requests. Your agent should be taking the time to discuss the ramifications of this list with you. It is no secret, but it is not mandatory to do any or all of these items. Of course you should know that these items will come back to haunt you with each and every offer. But some of them are not deal breakers I am sure. Again, I am working for the buyers on this deal, it is my responsibility to get them the best house possible for the best price possible.

The one thing I can tell you is I am also a listing agent. My clients get my full attention, and all these details are explained. When I work as a listing agent I owe a fiduciary responsibility to assist my clients with the sale of their home for the best price possible. My clients are well informed of the problems appraisals bring these days, they are urged to look for and take care of any details that may come up in an inspection, they are told if things can’t be taken care of the house should be priced accordingly. I can’t discuss this with you, even if your agent is not explaining the process to you. You should have been told what the ramifications are if the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed upon price or if the amount of work needing to be addressed seems overwhelming to you.

But for this deal, I am working for the buyer and it is my responsibility to get them the best house possible for the best price possible.

The one other thing I can tell you is that I take my responsibilities to my clients, as both buyers and sellers, very seriously. So, if you are in the market to purchase a home in the greater New Milford area, or looking to sell a home in the greater New Milford area, please give me a call. When I work for you it will be my pleasure and responsibility to do the best job I can to bring the sale home AT THE BEST PRICE POSSIBLE!
