Life on Lake Cumberland began for me in 1981. My wife and I purchased our first lakefront lot near Somerset that year.  From that point on we were hooked.  For the next 25 years we privately bought and sold lake properties and homes, never giving up life on the lake.

After retiring from a career in industrial distribution in 2007, and considering what I would like to do as a second career, I realized that the enjoyment I received in researching, buying, and improving properties for my private use would be just as rewarding if I could use those talents and experiences to find property for others.  Becoming a real estate agent was the perfect fit.

My knowledge of the Lake Cumberland area will be an asset to you in your quest to find your property.  It’s easy to get excited when you see an enticing picture of a home or a spectacular lake view lot, but without knowledge of the area it may not be the right property for you.  I can help you decide if it really satisfies your needs.  Is the road system good in that area?  Is it in a suitable school district?    Is it close enough to medical facilities?  Is it in an area with strong property values?  The answers to these type questions will determine whether your purchase is a blessing or a disaster.

Through a cooperative effort from all of the real estate agencies that are members of the Somerset/Lake Cumberland Board of Realtors, any properties you find listed in the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) system are available to me.  So, if you see a property you like, contact me at phillip@lakecumberlandkyrealty.com.  Or fill out our EZ Search form to give me the parameters of what you are looking for, and I will send you a list of the properties that best match your needs.

Remember, Life is Good on Lake Cumberland, if you choose the right property.
