Lakehomes.com Takes a Big Step

If you are on this page -- which used to be our home page -- you have probably already seen a new look to Lakehomes.com. One that encompasses 48 more states than we used to have, and one that also adds an incredible amount of features and technological advances from our old programming.

But you will also notice, at the current time, the only new state in operation is Alabama. That may seem like somewhat of a disconnect, but there is a good reason for it.

Any new site, especially one with this much technology, needs a little time to work out a few bugs and make sure everything operates correctly. Because of that, we decided to keep our old design and functionality intact for Minnesota and Wisconsin for a little while, until we make sure everything is working great. We obviously don't want to confuse our visitors in midstream, so everything should still work for you just the way it did before. And sometime soon -- maybe in a few weeks, or a bit longer -- you will also have all the great features that Alabama has.

In reality, we have been working on this strategic plan for nearly two years. But going back further yet, we've always known that Lakehomes.com was the best domain name for lake properties, and sooner or later it had to grow. Now we are there, and what comes next should benefit all of our agents and visitors to a great extent.

So go ahead and use Lakehomes.com like you always have: as the best place to search for waterfront and recreational properties across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. And when it comes time to launch our new features up in these parts, we will make sure they are even better than you have imagined.
