Customer Testimonials

I am writing to thank you for selling beautiful lake property at a reasonable price, and for employing a wonderful staff. I have spent many vacation days and weekends during the last ten years searching for the "perfect piece" of Texas hill country property on which to retire. Until recently my search was limited to Kerrville, Fredericksburg, LLano, Beorne, and Bandera. I discovered an ad for Sunset Shores by accident after clicking on a National Land Partners "find land" ad on the Southern Log Homes website. When I called the phone number for Southern Lakes And Leisure, Caramie Perry was very friendly and helpful, and quickly put me in contact with your sales consultants.

I wish to personally thank Barry Smith, who took the better part of two days in some of the worst weather of the winter, and showed my wife, daughter, and I around Sunset Shores, and "The Hills" properties. Barry did not hesitate to walk all the properties with us, even as we endured the snow, sleet and icy slush and mud. Barry was very friendly, knowledgeable of all the properties, and created a very comfortable no-pressure atmosphere.

One of the properties Barry showed us was a beautiful five acre corner homesite which I realized was the piece of property I had long searched for. This piece was listed at a very reasonable price that even a Texas peace officer could afford. All of the SLL staff continued to be extremely helpful when explaining financing options, and have made themselves available to answer my many questions even after the sale. My eight year old daughter is very excited about living near beautiful Possum Kingdom Lake, and swimming in the "awesome" swimming pool at the new clubhouse.

In my experience, SSL conducts business in a very honest, trustworthy way and I would highly recommend SSL to anyone looking for beautiful lake property.

Thanks again,
Eric P. Huffman

My family and I were looking for properties in the Fort Worth, TX area to invest in for our kid’s future ever since we moved to Fort Worth from Southern California in March 2006.

All I’ve kept hearing for 2 years was about Possum Kingdom Lake and how beautiful the water and landscape is and how it is the best lake in Texas. I’ve heard about it from my friends and my brother who has been on the lake several times.

I was reading the paper in November 2006 and I saw an ad for The Hills Above Possum Kingdom Lake where you can buy acreage for a very good price. I was thrilled and I called right then to schedule an appointment.

When we arrived at the sales office in Graford, TX we were greeted by Jeff Riss. Jeff was a great help and really had our best interest at hand. He was able to assist us in buying 2 properties at almost 17 acres. We were so impressed with the service and the beauty of the unique landscape and PK Lake that I referred my parents who also moved here from Southern California.

My parents fell in love with the community and bought a property from Jeff. They were also looking for a place to vacation and a few months after they bought their first lot they bought another property from Vince Cutaia.

Vince had helped us on numerous occasions. He has kept me up-to-date on all the latest activities and developments within our community. Vince has always returned my calls and emails with enthusiasm. I enjoy speaking with Vince on a regular basis.

We love The Hills Above Possum Kingdom Lake and we can’t wait to enjoy our vacation home and the amenities within our community.

My wife and I have been looking for some place to purchase property and plan for our retirement. Being a Texas girl my wife has always wanted to retire in Texas where we can be close to family and grandchildren. Our search for the ideal place has taken us all over the Central Texas Hill Country. It is quickly becoming crowded and losing a lot of its country charm. Learning about the North Texas Hill Country from a recent USA Today article and receiving a chance to tour new property at Possum Kingdom Lake we decided to check it out. Boy are we glad we did. This area has the water, hunting and beautiful views that we quickly fell in love with. National Land Partners were very helpful in making our dreams a reality. Looking forward to the future this land and area has to offer.

What a find! We have been looking for an affordable place near water so Bob can enjoy fishing and I can be near my family in our retirement. We wanted to escape from Wisconsin winters and state income taxes; my brother Kevin led us to PK Lake. Stopping in at the development office was quite by accident. We met Jason Raye of Southern Lakes and Leisure and made an immediate connection!

We were two people on vacation just wanting to look and just “check it out”! Jason showed us around; what we found was what we both talked about in our planning sessions! We wanted to be near water, not on the water, a marina close by, club house and access to my Texas family! We found it all in The Hills Above PK Lake!

The staff and Jason Raye made our discovery and closing the deal a pleasant experience we could not have asked for better care! Thank you Jason!

Out investment into The Hills Above Possum Kingdom Lake, ie: land property, was a first for my wife and I. We have purchased homes throughout the country, but never raw land with the intent to build a home from scratch. When I first contacted “The Hills” sales office I spoke with a representative by the name of Barry Smith. I asked Barry to guide, not bully me through this land purchase opportunity. Barry assured me that when I came out to tour that he would be soft spoken, professional, and absolutely not be a bully. Well, to my delight, Barry was all of the above and then some. Barry is a wealth of knowledge on every subject matter brought up by my wife and I was responded to intellectually and in a manner that made us feel like a buyer - and in fact we did buy. My wife and I were delighted in working with Barry. Your company is very blessed to have Barry on their team. I not only acquired land, I made a real friend for a long time coming.

We appreciated the fact that your representatives were very professional and diligent in preparing for our meeting, and taking us to a site that they thought would fit our needs. The corner site they showed us was just what we were looking for! The decision was therefore a simple one for us.

Vince and Jerred had understood our requirements perfectly, and we appreciated their candor in answering our questions during the first meeting, and on subsequent phone calls.

Another positive aspect was the way in which the management had arranged very favorable financing and streamlined closing processes to help those buyers who chose to avail themselves of the convenience.

Thank you, gentlemen, for a pleasant, no-pressure experience.
