How this works
You tell us what you need. We have one real conversation. We introduce you to the agent who specializes in it. Nothing charged, nothing signed, nothing expected.
Tell us what you're after
Two minutes. Pick how you want to be reached — that's the only contact info we ask for.
We talk
By call, text, or email, your choice. We ask the lake questions most people don't know to ask yet. No pitch.
We hand-pick your match
One agent who does exactly your kind of deal every week. Never a list of twenty.
You take it from there
If it clicks, wonderful. If not, tell us and we'll try again. Never charged, never obligated, never stuck.
The money, plainly
When you close with an agent we introduced, their brokerage pays us a referral fee from a commission that already existed. You never pay us. If you never buy or sell, we're not paid.
Not a fit?
Tell us. We'll introduce someone else, no awkwardness, no cost. You're never locked in — to us or to them.
Every question we get asked
Is this really free?
Yes, completely. When you close with an agent we introduced, their brokerage pays us a referral fee out of the commission they were already earning. Your costs don't change. If you never buy or sell, we're not paid, and that's fine.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. We're paid by agents, not you — which is exactly why we care about matching you well. A bad match is worth nothing to us.
Why not just click 'Contact agent' on Zillow or another listing site?
That button goes to whoever pays for leads in that ZIP code — and your details can go to several of them. We pick one agent for your situation and never sell your information.
Am I obligated to use the agent you introduce me to?
No. Meet them; if it's not a fit, we'll introduce someone else. No contract, no exclusivity, no hard feelings.
Will I get a flood of calls and emails?
No. You get one introduction, and we contact you only the way you asked. We don't sell your information or put you on a drip campaign.
How do you decide who to match me with?
We talk first. What you're after, where, your timeline, whether the dock matters more than the kitchen, whether rental income is part of the plan. Then we match against who at this lake is genuinely strong at that.
What if I'm a year or two out?
Perfect time to reach out. Early conversations are the useful ones — before you've anchored on a side of the lake or an agent. No rush from us.
What if I only want to rent?
Reach out anyway. There's no referral fee in a rental, so this one's on the house. Renting a season before buying is usually the smart move.
Is there a real person behind this, or a lead-gen company?
A real person. Amanda King reads every submission and does every conversation. No call center, no roster of agents who paid to be listed.
Are you a real estate agent yourself?
Yes. Amanda King is a licensed Virginia real estate salesperson with Wainwright Referrals Inc., a referral-only brokerage. We don't list or sell property, which is what lets us be neutral about who's right for you.
Which part of the lake should I look at?
Depends on things most people haven't thought about yet: which county for rental rules, how far you'll drive for groceries, open water or a quiet cove, where you're driving in from. Our area guides break it down.
Do you cover the whole lake?
Yes — Bedford, Franklin, and Pittsylvania counties. All of it.
Let's find you the right agent.
