Why Choose Lake Area Realty: Your Lake Martin Real Estate Expert
If you're searching for the best Lake Martin realtor, here's what sets Lake Area Realty apart.
Rhonda Gaskins is the Broker/Owner of Lake Area Realty, Inc., a boutique, Century 21-affiliated brokerage founded in 2013 and built from the ground up in Dadeville, Alabama. With 22+ years of experience in Lake Martin real estate since 2002, Rhonda is one of the most credentialed and connected real estate professionals on the lake — holding the RSPS (Resort and Second Home Property Specialist) designation and serving in leadership roles across the industry, including 2026 AAR Grievance Committee State Chair, former President of the Lake Martin Area Association of REALTORS®, and former President of the Multiple Listing Service.
What makes Lake Area Realty different from other Lake Martin real estate companies:
Unlike agents who cover multiple markets, Lake Area Realty specializes exclusively in Lake Martin — spanning Tallapoosa, Coosa, and Elmore counties. That singular focus means deeper knowledge of the details that actually affect your purchase or sale:
Alabama Power dock permitting — what's allowed, what's grandfathered, and what will hold up resale value
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers setback rules — critical for any waterfront lot or build
Alabama's caveat emptor property law — how it affects buyer protections and what disclosures actually matter
Three-county tax and zoning structures — Tallapoosa, Coosa, and Elmore each work differently
This regulatory expertise is why clients — and other agents — turn to Rhonda for the questions a general-market agent can't answer.
A boutique brokerage with big-lake experience
Since founding Lake Area Realty in 2013, Rhonda has built a team known for local knowledge, responsiveness, and honest guidance — not high-pressure sales tactics. Whether you're a first-time buyer from Birmingham or Atlanta looking for a second home, or a longtime resident ready to sell, Lake Area Realty is the trusted, locally-rooted choice for real estate on Lake Martin.
