Second Home Ownership

If you are looking for a place where you can escape with friends and family, we can help you choose an ideal location based on your interests. Our agents know the area and can advise you on all the key elements.

Here are just a few things to consider:

• Northern end lakefront homes are popular, but this is a busier area.
• Look at the body of water, is it deep water, is it shallow, is it level or does it have stairs, is there a view?
• Do you have morning sun or afternoon sun on the dock?
• The lake’s Southern end is quieter.
• Is a lakefront location an absolute must? Are you open to split lakefront or lake access?
• Research HOAs and understand their guidelines. 

Once you’ve made your purchase, Taylor-Made agents can also connect you with a network of preferred vendors for all of your property service needs.

With an office in the heart of McHenry, the Taylor-Made real estate division opened in 2014 through a partnership with Jay Ferguson, a top-producing area agent. Since then, we have attracted some of Garrett County’s best agents. The Taylor-Made real estate team is especially skilled in serving Deep Creek Lake area clients. 

Sellers will appreciate that our expertise is supplemented by our in-house marketing team that includes professional photographers, videographers, 3D tour techs, email marketing experts, and graphic designers.
