One morning as I set out for Charlottesville, I passed Sturgeon's Creek Marina on the shores of Lake Anna. As I was driving by I glanced at the water (I always do) and noticed the fog and a couple of fishermen setting off. I turned around, pulled in, and saw that they were having a fishing tournament. Quite a number of boats were lined up ready to go. I took several shots and here is one of them.
Can you see them back there?

I'm in love with sunsets. I cannot seem to get over the beauty of them. Although I have tons of pictures of the sun going down, I still take more. I delight in the fact that we see some truly gorgeous ones. The fact that the setting sun, and the wonderful hues it creates in the sky, are often reflected in the water. That doubles my pleasure.
If you love sunsets perhaps we can find a place for you here at Lake Anna where you can feast your eyes on many spectacular ones. I'll do all that I can to help you

My Lake Anna Neighborhood...Make it Yours Too. Yes, that's possible. If you have been thinking about a move to the country and would also like to be near or on a lake, check out Lake Anna.
These are a few of the photos I took on my way home today. They were taken within a few miles of my home and some within a few hundred feet. This is what I see when I leave home. I love it. Even after seventeen years I never tire of see these sights. No matter how often I drive these roads I always see some things for the first time and others I have enjoyed over and over again.
I hope you enjoy these glimpses of my neighborhood and get an idea of why I love it.
Each time I pass this barn and stable on Partlow Road I notice how well maintained they are.
I liked the silouette affect.
A driveway along my ride home.
Fall is definitely here but the flowers are still blooming.
Muddy sheep...a reflection of recent rain.
Carrying a camera around at all times is a necessity. That way I get to share these impressions over and over again and I get to share them with all of you as well.
What is out there for you to see and photograph? If you are in the habit of carrying your camera with you you know the pleasure I get from mine. If you don't think about doing it. As a REALTOR this gives me a great way of showing others how wonderful this area is. As they say, a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

Specializing in Lake Anna, Virginia Real Estate-Resident since 1992-Quality Service-Local Knowledge-Multi-Million $ Producer-Representing Buyers & Sellers- Homes & Land-Investment-Commercial
Lake Anna is a real estate market unto itself. Working with a REALTOR( ) that has the expertise not only about real estate but about Lake Anna and the surrounding area is very beneficial. My years of selling real estate at Lake Anna and the personal marketing plan I implement will make your selling experience a productive one. If you are thinking of buying a place at Lake Anna my knowledge of the market will ensure that we find the right spot for you. By keeping current on new technologies I can put those tools to work for you along with my enthusiasm and love of Lake Anna.
Buying and selling properties in a lake community is a different process than when I was an agent in Northern Virginia. I learned about drain fields (perc, alternative septic systems), wells, common areas, access vs. waterfront, water view and seasonal water view (and sometimes a "how can they call this a water view"), reputable builders, lenders, home inspectors, handymen, painters, and settlement companies. Remaining knowledgeable regarding all facets of the local market is paramount to providing the best possible service to my clients, both buyers and sellers.
I know how important it is to keep taking courses, reading as much as I can about real estate, and living up to the REALTORS® Code of Ethics. As a member of the Grievance Committee at my local Board I learn about the intentional and unintentional mistakes that can happen. I've found that if you are doing something you really enjoy, and I really do enjoy real estate, you want to do it well and are enthusiastic about being aware of changes and staying as current as possible.
It was fun to explore the Lake Anna area when I first started here over 12 years ago. In doing so it really made Lake Anna feel like one big neighborhood to me even though the lake is 17 miles long and has over 270 miles of shoreline. Now, with over 120 subdivisions around the lake it is more important than ever to KNOW THIS MARKET.
That's why I feel it is important to keep on taking courses, reading as much as I can about real estate, and living up to the REALTORS® Code of Ethics. As a member of the Grievance Committee at my local Board I learn about the intentional and unintentional mistakes that can happen. I've found that if you are doing something you really enjoy, and I really do enjoy real estate, you want to do it well and are enthusiastic about being aware of changes and staying as current as possible.
When you love the place where you live and work it makes it easy to be enthusiastic. Working with sellers here at Lake Anna is a treat. The same goes for working with buyers. When you're familiar with the 120+ developments, their amenities and location it really helps to be in a position to make the best use of a buyer's time.
Having moved extensively to places as far away as Alaska, Italy, Somalia, Puerto Rico, and Texas I well understand the thrills and chills of relocating. I work hard to make the process as painless as possible. Years of personal experience combined with professional experience contribute to my ability to work successfully with sellers and buyers whether their move is going to be long distance or just around the corner.
LICENSED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA SINCE 1986
DESIGNATIONS:
SPECIALTIES:
MEMBERSHIP & AWARDS:
Dear Toni,
We would like to take this opportunity to recognize and compliment your agent, Kate Elim.
Our first meeting, the listing presentation, impressed us with her knowledge of the area, the competition of houses in our price range for sale on the lake, the research information she had compiled on our property and her detailed plan for selling our home at a price satisfactory to us.
As we are told every day by the media, the real estate market in the U.S. is in deep trouble with rising interest rates, a glut of houses for sale and foreclosures abound.
To our surpise and joy, Kate presented a contract close to our asking price fifteen days after the listing date (September 5 and September 20), which after a minimun amount of negotiation and with her guidance, and advice the items in question were resolved. There were a number of routine contingencies, which needed to be resolved. They required a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, septic, well and termite inspectors for which Kate contacted the various tradesmen and coordinated appointments to remove the contingencies. As we live in Florida, Kate's involvement made it unnecessary for us to make another trip to Virginia. She also set up an appointment with a settlement attorney who we used for the closing.
Kate is an agent who works for her clients to fulfill their goals and is always available to them. She is an agent who is a valuable asset to your brokerage and one we would refer our friends and neighbors in the area to. Kate is a true professional and a tireless worker.
Sincerely, John and Lois Van Horn

When an agent functions as well as Kate did, it is very hard to find areas for improvement. She is a seasoned veteran. Her greatest strengths were marketing, advice, and value of our property. Very professional.
Charles Billak, former REALTOR

Carol and I cannot possibly find enough words to adequately thank you for the process you guided us through. You have been so gracious when we have dragged our feet, never once did you try to push us to a decision. From the time I talked to you at the 1998 Capitol Expo Center Boat Show you have been our friend, guide, and process partner. You were not dismayed that we took side trips to Smith Mountain Lake, Lake Gaston, and Kerr Reservoir. We did keep coming back to Lake Anna. It was where we felt most comfortable.
The day of our closing, I counted as our eleventh trip to Lake Anna. You were with us on all but two of those excursions. You more than did your part, and I am thankful also that you kept within our price range. You listened to our wants and took us to some wonderful houses.
Thank you for both your friendship and wonderful professionalism!
Sincerely, Samuel E. "Ed" Stone March 2001
***
We had a very difficult and complex closing. After leaving the area, Kate was very responsive in representing and tracking our interest.
