“Purchasing a lakefront home is different than any other real estate,” said Scott Freerksen, AKA “The Lake Guy” and owner of Lakefront Living Realty, a realtor that represents both buyers and sellers of lakefront properties. “This seminar provides the vital knowledge needed to purchase and sell correctly.”

The event, which will be held from 10 am to noon at the Mansfield Holiday Inn at 31 Hampshire Street in Mansfield, will feature several guest experts covering a breadth of topics related to buying and selling a lake front home. Those include:

• The top 10 facts you need to know about lakes in New England

Said an attendee of last year’s seminar, “Before coming to your seminar, I thought all lakes were the same. Now I know the right questions to ask when checking out the lakes in my area.
