About Lakeside Properties

Lakeside Properties was founded in 1987 by Gary Catlin and has remained a family-owned business since with Gary’s son, Cody, now at the helm as the Supervising Broker. Specializing in lakeside cabin and home transactions, our professionals have assisted with countless transactions in the Flint Hills region offering a tremendous amount of local, lakefront real estate knowledge.

As a member of the Flint Hills Association of REALTORS© and Kansas Association of REALTORS ©, and MLS participants of the Sunflower Association of REALTORS© and MyStateMLS, we join a network of thousands of REALTORS© with clients looking to buy in the Flint Hills region.

Not unlike the uniqueness of each lake, each transaction calls for the experience and expertise of seasoned veterans. We are proud to be a lake home focused real estate agency bringing buyers and sellers together in the search of their dream homes and lake getaways for 40 years! Call upon the experience you can trust!

What makes Lakeside Properties special?

• Over $38,500,000 in lake home sales in the last 5 years. That volume gives us pricing instincts and negotiation experience that translates into better outcomes for sellers.

• Multiple lake property sales over $1,000,000. We know how to present premium lake properties and market them to the right buyers.

• Proven lake property marketing strategies. We don’t just “list it.” We know what it takes for to give the seller the best opportunity for the highest price with their goals through presentation, exposure, timing, and buyer outreach.

• Nearly 40 seasons brokering lake property transactions. Lake sales have their own rhythm. Experience matters when it comes to seasonality, recreational selling points, comps, and buyer expectations.

• Professional Photos That Sell the Lifestyle. We don’t rely on a quick snapshot. We use high-quality images that highlight the waterfront view, interior flow, outdoor living, dock/shoreline, and the features buyers actually pay more for.

• Drone Photography That Shows What Buyers Can’t See From the Road. Aerials capture the shoreline, lot shape, water access, neighboring context, and the “feel” of the property—so out-of-area buyers can understand the location immediately.

• Online Exposure + Direct Buyer Outreach. Your listing gets pushed through the MLS, our lake home specific portals, online targeted marketing efforts, and direct messaging to buyers and agents.

• Clear, Seller-Friendly Guidance. Pricing, prep, timing, and negotiation—we’re there every step of the way to make it the best selling experience possible!
