Dear Campers & Guests, I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer at the lake. Despite the humidity and lack of rain, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer season, being able to enjoy the water almost everyday. Now is the busiest time of year in real estate in Pocono Pines, and anyone who is considering selling their home should contact Dembinski Realty Company to capture this optimal selling season. In other exciting news:
• Please join Dembinski Realty Company for Open House Weekend on Saturday & Sunday, September 10th11th from 12PM-2PM, as we unveil “Camp Augusta” situated overlooking Pinecrest Lake. Myself as well as Andie Gerhard will be hosting this event to answer all of your questions while touring this newly renovated property. In addition, we would be happy to assist with any other listings currently listed for sale in Pocono Pines, and will also be available to chat should you be interested in listing your current home for sale. Please RSVP prior to the event by calling 570.646.7463. There will be an indoor hole-in-one putting contest and prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
• I would like to thank Cozy Cabins & Cottages Magazine (Editors of Log & Timber Home Living) for featuring the Summer of ‘69 A-Frame in their latest summer issue. I can’t believe years later this home is still being recognized nationally. It’s so nice to see the new owners having so much success with this fabulous property.
• Lakefront properties being listed in “turn-key” condition are in very high demand. Should your lakefront property need some extra TLC, you may want to consider selling it directly in “as-is” condition, to avoid any added expenses, in preparing your home for sale. Please call me at 570.807.4434 as I would be happy to tour your lakefront property, should your lakefront be on Lakeview, Woodland, or Miller.
