Have a survey done when buying a waterfront property on Mystic lake in genoa. This is so important. There are some lakefront properties that do not own to the lake even though they appear to. Russ lives on White Lake in Oakland County. There are several areas on the lake that the homes have easements or that the association owns the property in front of their home. Sure they can use the lakefront, but if push came to shove it could become an issue for the lake home owners.
Is the water calming to you? Or the water remind you of past vacations? If you are like me there is something magical about water! We don’t know if it reminds me of great vacations, or good times with family from years gone by. There is just something about water that I love. Nothing like seeing the sun shine on the water. If you have feelings like we do we would say you are a water person.
One of the fringe benefits that you get when you buy a waterfront house or cottage is your surroundings. Can you imagine sitting on the deck with a cold drink in your hand watching a hot air balloon slowly cross the lake, or hearing the sudden splash of a fish jumping out of the lake, or watching sand hill cranes on the shoreline? These lake sights will be part of your life when you get a lake home.

Mystic Lake Location
Mystic Lake is located in Genoa Township Livingston County MI. It is south of Brighton Rd and east of Chilson Rd. The lake is to the north of Appleton Lake and west of Brighton Lake.
What are the top lakes in the area? If you ask that to any lake home owner they are going to say their lake. Like living in a city. Everybody thinks theirs is the best. It is the same way with lakes. So what are the best lakes?
It depends on what you want to do. You may want to slalom ski every morning. Then a Michigan lake with a ski course is the best lake for you. You may get bored on one lake so the Portage chain of Lakes or the Half Moon chain of lakes is better suited for you.
The top lake is the lake that best fits your needs. Most lakes in the area now have weed control. Most have the same water quality. Some areas are ahead in getting sewers around them. Most lakes now are fairly stable in the lake levels. They are controlled by dams or many lakes have augmentation wells to keep the lake levels at a stable level.
So what is the best lake? It depends on your needs. I will usually be able to give you a list of big all sports lakes? Or list of non motorized lakes? Or lakes in West Bloomfield? Or nice kayak lakes? Or maybe you want lakes with an up-north feel.
The best lake for you may be totally different than for my next buyer. So send us an email to yesmyrealtor@gmail.com. Let me know what you are looking for and we will help you find the best lake for you and your family. You can also call us at (248) 320-6840 or (248)310-6239

Here is what previous clients said about us!
Janel came highly recommended by several of my coworkers. I contacted her early in my home selling/planning stage. She was very patient and understanding of my circumstances. When it came time to list our home she did a thorough walk thru and I could tell she was very knowledgeable about home construction. Janel took the time to explain the process and was honest with me about my home and our home’s potential to sell. She was great dealing with all parties concerned with the sale of the home (ex-husband, multiple lawyers) and was professional with everyone. I really appreciate her support throughout the entire experience and my house sold fast! Thank you, Janel! I will definitely recommend you and look forward to working with you in the future!
Joe was a true professional that knew the real estate market in the area. He priced the house higher when others said it was too overpriced. We ended up having 17 groups come through and three prompt offers by the end of the weekend. Joe made the selling process easy and without any snags. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.
As a buyer, I had a great experience working with Janel for many months through a chaotic housing market before finally finding a place and I'd recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy a lake house. She was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions a lake home buyer like me had. She was professional, easily reachable, and generally able to go take a look at properties with short notice as they became available.
We have used Joe Bertera and his office since 2009. We have always had a great experience with him and his associates. Not only is Joe our agent , but we now also consider him a friend. He has always provided us with very professional and friendly services. He always goes above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Joe!
"Dear Russ,
My Husband and I have been in our new home for about a year now and we both feel that it would not have been possible without your help. We wanted to write and let you know that we appreciate everything you have done for us. I want to thank you for showing us around and negotiating to help us get an excellent home that meets all of my needs. I was impressed with your knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, businesses, parks, recreation, restaurants and home prices. You are my #1 Realtor and I will recommend you to my family, friends and any one else who need to buy or sell real estate."
Best Regards
Nabila & Joe
