lake wallenpaupack: SELLERS: Clean Up Your Yard! - 06/19/18 04:23 AM
One of the challenges I face as a Realtor working in what is primarily a vacation home market is showing properties that look, for all intents and purposes, somewhat abandoned.
It's easy to forget the other home you own when you are busy living life in your primary location: your kids have activities, your job has demands, your main house requires attention. I get that - but when you have your vacation home on the market to try and sell it, it must take first priority, at least for a little while.
A home looks abandoned and uncared for when there are piles … (5 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Lake Wallenpaupack Boat Slip Homes - 02/02/17 07:28 PM
Lake Wallenpaupack has public access points. There are also several marinas around the lake for would-be boaters to rent a seasonal boat slip.
Some homes have boat slips with them through their homeowner association.
Boat slip included means the slip transfers with the home.   Boat slip available means that access to a slip is granted but there is a waiting list - you will have to wait your turn. The slip does not transfer with the home.

lake wallenpaupack: A Decade of REALTOR Fun & Fulfillment - 01/31/17 02:03 PM
Today I started getting notices from LinkedIn - people were congratulating me on my "work" anniversary. Odd, I thought...since I started working at Davis R. Chant Realtors in April or so.  I knew I had updated the settings to no longer reference my prior brokerage. Then I realized, I have my membership with NAR listed in LinkedIn.  I've been a full time REALTOR for 10 years!
I have had an amazing run so far, and am looking forward to the next ten years. In an industry where most new agents fail in a couple of years, this to me is extraordinary. When … (6 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Why You Shouldn't Look at Homes Outside Your Price Range - 02/04/13 10:13 PM
Regarding the article I've linked below: So true!!  Many home buyers in the Lake Wallenpaupack region tend to look "outside their range" thinking that "in this market" they can beat the sellers up enough to come down to where they can afford it.  
While you may run across a seller who is both desperate to sell and financially able to take a huge loss, most are either unwilling or unable to afford it.  Either they owe too much on the house to let it go for less, or they know the true market value of their home and will not … (4 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Killing The Sale of Your Lake Wallenpaupack Home in 5 Easy Steps - 10/13/12 02:21 PM
Note: this was previously posted on my main Lake Wallenpaupack real estate blog.
As I scan the Hot Sheet (the newest listings from the Pike / Wayne MLS), I often roll my eyes at the remarks attached to homes for sale in the Lake Wallenpaupack region.
"Seller says sell!"  (Really? Why else would the seller list their home? Just to have random people walking through their home, peering into their closets and opening kitchen cabinets to see what kind of stuff they have?) My favorite is "MOTIVATED SELLER!" hooked on to a listing that is probably overpriced by about $50,000.  Sure, the … (0 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: At Lake Wallenpaupack, Old Man Winter Is Being Cranky - 01/21/12 01:06 PM
Note: This is a reprint of a post originally published by Karen Rice, REALTOR on the Pike Wayne County PA Real Estate blog.
Wintering at Wallenpaupack! Brrrrr! The air coming off Lake Wallenpaupack the other day felt as if it were coming directly from Antarctica! Even with no breeze to speak of, it was mighty cold! When I reluctantly crawled out of my warm nest of fleece and multiple quilts, the temperature outside was 3.4 degrees. The nip in the air INSIDE of my house hurt my nose!
I should not complain, for with the exception of our crazy October blizzard, … (1 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Hawley Campus Lackawanna College - Upcoming Open House! - 07/20/10 08:26 AM
This is really cool - I am so excited that our lovely little town is going to have its own college! Lackawanna College is opening its Hawley Campus in what most people remember as the Castle Building - but before it was Castle Antiques it had the illustrious name of Sherman Underwear Factory....even earlier, it was the Hawley Silk Mill.
Since "Historic Hawley Silk Mill" has a much better ring to it than Sherman's Underwear Factory, that is what the complex is now known as.
Lackawanna College is only using a portion of the Silk Mill.  There is still retail space … (1 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: 300,000 + Points, and I Really Don't Care...Clients, Baby, Are What Counts - 07/15/10 12:52 PM
Nope, this isn't another "Journey to X00,000 Points" post.  Heck, I didn't even notice when I broke 300,000.  LOL.  So, no memoir of my favorite people on ActiveRain - I have too many favorites and will leave someone out and hurt their feelings. (Except TLW, have to say she's my #1 Favorite Person In The Rain and nobody would be insulted if I mention her....)
  No big gushy "OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE THIS MANY POINTS" posts.  No comments about how I withstood server issues and changes, blah blah blah.  That said, ActiveRain has been an excellent tool for … (8 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Winter in NEPA / Poconos: Are You Ready? - 11/22/09 06:18 AM
Those of us here in Wayne and Pike County in Northeast PA have been enjoying a lot of mild weather – I’m thinking it’s Mother Nature’s way of making amends for the nasty rainy summer we had!  Anyway, do not be fooled; this warm streak will eventually come to an end and you may see this:

When you’re traveling in and around NEPA, it’s a good idea to make sure your trunk has a few winter survival essentials.  Please be aware that some areas in Pike County are notorious for lousy cell reception.  Don’t be caught off guard!

lake wallenpaupack: Paupackan Lake Estates - A Nice Quiet Community - 10/19/07 01:21 AM
One of the sometimes overlooked developments/homeowner communities in Northeastern PA is Paupackan Lake Estates, in Hawley / Lakeville, PA (Wayne County.) It is not very big, and does not offer a ton of amenities like The Hideout in Lake Ariel or Wallenpaupack Lake Estates, also in Lake Ariel.
It does offer one of the cleanest lakes in Northeast PA - and Paupackan Lake has a reputation of being an excellent lake for fishing. This is the place to come for peace and quiet.
In Paupackan Lake Estates, you can go for a quiet evening stroll, or enjoy swimming on the beach provided for … (3 comments)

lake wallenpaupack: Lake Wallenpaupack Memory Building Night - 07/10/07 05:01 PM
Tonight, I took a break from real estate, and my family & I went to visit our friends who have a lake front cabin on Lake Wallenpaupack, in Sunny Point.  We do this every July when they come up from Lancaster to spend time at "The Cabin."  Often, this is the only time we see them.  We used to be able to see the fireworks from their dock, but not anymore.  That was sad, but now we get to celebrate The Fourth twice; once with the fireworks, and one on another night at The Cabin.
I have a 15 year (or … (6 comments)

Lake Wallenpaupack is the hub of tourism and recreation for Wayne and Pike County in the Poconos of Northeast Pennsylvania.Lake Wallenpaupack was created by PPL in 1926 as a hydroelectric power project.
