We are now in the heart of spring at Lake Martin! Lake activity is increasing as the weather warms up, but the crowds of summer have yet to arrive. This is a great time of year for locals to enjoy fishing and boating on the lake!

It’s also a great time of year to accomplish your Lake Martin real estate market goals. If you’d like to be settled into your new home by summer, so you can enjoy all the fun that summer brings with it, now is the time to sell, buy or both. Our Lake Martin real estate team is here to help make that happen! Give us a call anytime and we’ll help you begin the home-selling and/or home-buying process.

If looking for fun, local spring events, here’s a list of upcoming activities:

This will take place at the Naturalist Cabin on April 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on April 21 at SpringHouse. It’s free to attend! Bring your camera and catch the interaction your children will have with these animals as they learn more about them and how they symbolize Easter and spring.
