Lakefront homes for sale Sylvan Lake Michigan

Sylvan Lake homes lie both on the lake and on canals.  Sylvan Lake houses are going to be closer together.  Yes there are some of the houses on the lake that now lie on 2 or 3 lots.  Like so many of properties on the lakes all over Oakland County many of the old cottages on Sylvan Lake have either been torn down, remodeled, or re-built as newer, bigger homes.  As we tell most of my lake home buyers it is almost impossible to find any lake home or lake cottage on a bigger all sports lake for under $250,000.  It is very rare in 2018 to find any lake house on a 200 + acre all sports lake in Oakland County that is less than $300,000 let alone below $250,000.  

Here is the latest list of lake properties for sale in Sylvan Lake Michigan.

Here are some of our testimonials from our clients!

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!
