Clients Like Lakewood, my Oak Ridge Listing & Juniper Listing

This weekend I showed houses all over Dyersburg and Dyer County including Lakewood.
they liked my listing at 698 Oak Ridge and the house on Juniper but they are only sure about one thing; they definitely want to buy in Lakewood.

If you live in Lakewood and want to sell your house please let me know. They have already left to go back overseas but have asked me to video any new listings that come up in Lakewood. It does not have to be lakefront as the two they liked are one of each.

Waterfront Lot For Lakewood Client

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a client requesting a nice building lot on the water. Two different lot owners at Lakewood have contacted me about selling this client their lot.

I called my client this morning to discuss both of these options for him but he is unsure if he will relocate to west Tennessee or east Tennessee. I did give him all the information both of these lot owners provided me.

Let me share their information here in case others are looking for a lot on the water in Lakewood.

The first lot owner actually owns 2 joining lots which are on one of the smaller lakes. They are 1 acre each for a total of 2 acres. The price for both will be somewhere around $60,000. These two lots together have lots of lake frontage.

The second lot owner called me this morning while I was at McDonalds. He purchased a nice lot on the largest lake in Lakewood and did extensive work on it. He even dug a basement and dug and poured a concrete footer. He has the house plan available that he was planning to build on this lot. This lot is also on the water and all work such as locating fill lines, etc. has been completed. He told me this lot could be purchased "right". The reason for him selling is because he purchased a Lakewood foreclosure and fixed it up and moved into it.

If you have an interest in building your dream home on the water at Lakewood, then contact me about these two options. My cell phone number is 731-589-7841

Big Fish Caught at Lakewood




My friend James Wright called me Sunday all excited about a little fish he caught. He lives on Elm Lane and is located on the 4th largest lake in Lakewood(near Dyersburg).

James said he saw this fish swimming near the bank and his dock several times Sunday so grabbed his rod and reel and jitterbug lure.

I just hope there is one more left for me to catch!

Texas Clients close on Lakewood Lot

My Texas clients I have been working with for a few weeks finally closed on the purchase of a 1.5 acre lot on the back side of Dyersburg's Lakewood Community. That street name is Cherry Circle. The purchase price was $26,000. This is a great comp for Lakewood lot owners who are thinking about selling their Dyersburg lakefront properties.

Client wants a lakefront lot at Lakewood to build on

Today I met with a client looking to build a home at Dyersburg's Lakewood Community. He really prefers to be on the water. We had a lot we were ready to purchase but the owner raised the price above the real value.

My buyer will be leaving to return to Texas tomorrow so please call me before he departs so he can look at your lot. This is his second trip here and probable his last before closing on a purchase at Lakewood.

At this point he would even consider a lakefront home if yours is not already on the market as we looked at several listed houses at Lakewood during both visits.

Three late bids but this Lakewood foreclosure now under contract

A few days ago, I did a post about a new foreclosure at lakewood.

No one bid on the property until yesterday and 3 bids came in. Those bids were for $135,000, $165,000 and $167,000.

This house is now under contract for $2000 over list price. Now that is a good sign for our friends living in Dyersburg's Lakewood Subdivision!

New Hud Foreclosure at Dyersburg's Lakewood Community


Hud completed foreclosure proceedings and now has this 3 bedroom house listed for sale. The list price right now is $160,000. This is a nice house in Lakewood but not on the water and does not have a basement. The address is 45 Cottonwood Lane.

For these reasons, I believe the true value should be somewhere between $145,000 and $150,000. Being a foreclosure is what helps drop it to this value. I would be happy to assist you with the purchase of this house. Here is a link to all current Dyersburg Hud foreclosures including this one.

We have priced this home to sell fast!

1/15/10 Update: Owners just told me the hardwood flooring man is coming the week on the 25th(January) to install new handscrapped dark oak wide planks in the living room and master bedroom. This will complete the replacing of the entire first floor flooring.

Dyersburg's Lakewood Getting Back to Normal

Over the last several months, there have been many foreclosures in the Dyersburg area including a few in Lakewood.

Personally, I receive many of these foreclosures to sell for the asset companies and I am seeing a slowdown in foreclosures especially in the Lakewood community.

I know many of you Lakewood residents have been apprehensive about foreclosures in your neighborhood. In my opinion, we are near the end of foreclosures especially in Lakewood. Lakewood will soon be back to normal with prices back up(now at 2006 levels) so do not despair if you live in Lakewood because things are turning around.

Dyersburg Foreclosure in Lakewood


A couple of days ago I got a call from the listing agent for 38 Elm Lane. I had a client interested in this property but they got two offers on it before we could get there.

They accepted one of the offers and all the other parties went somewhere else. Now, the accepted offer has collapsed and owner so motivated to sell that they have agreed to fix the plumbing leaks in the basement and repair the sheetrock damage resulting from the leaks.

Not only are they doing this but they also replaced the electrical service that was damaged by a storm.

The original price was $160,000 (as is) but now the property has been reduced to $142,500 and major repairs completed or being completed right now. This is a 4 bedroom 3 bath home with over 4000' of living area and has lots of lake frontage.

In my opinion, this is a fantastic buy and I would be happy to assist you with this purchase. I bet this can be purchased for somewhere around $130,000.

Possible foreclosure coming in Lakewood

A couple of days ago I was asked to complete a brokers price opinion on a house(on the water)in Lakewood near Dyersburg.

This home is one of the finest in Lakewood and this could become a foreclosure. If that happens, I should get that listing. This home is very nice and the price range of value is somewhere around $400,000.

In the mean time, if you are looking for a Tennessee lakefront home, please click on the link over on the right side of this blog. That link will take you to every current listing in West Tennessee's Lakewood subdivision.

I understand the foreclosure house in my last post here has sold. I will get the sales price as soon as it is available.

Chicago family looking to relocate to Lakewood near Dyersburg,Tn.

A few days ago, I spent the whole day with a family from Chicago. Their daughter is going to college near St. Louis and they want to be within 2-3 hours of her.

I got a call from Ed about 3 weeks ago and he told me he was watching our video about Lakewood(a button for that is located over on the right side of Lakewood blog).

Ed told me he really liked what he was watching and he and his wife decided that they want to retire to Lakewood and live "on the water's edge".

We looked at several homes and they really liked one but they told me to keep my eyes open for others that might be just what they are looking for.

Here is their perfect retirement home at Lakewood:

1. one level
2. walk out basement
3. preferable brick but would consider others
4.on the water(a must)
5. a split floor plan where mother in law could stay with them
6. a dock a real plus
7. 2000-3000 heated and cooled living area
8. no close neighbors(semi secluded)
9. on one of the two biggest lakes
10. available by September 1st

If you live in Lakewood and would consider selling your home to Ed and his wife, please give me a call.
